Adam, while I was reading, "The God Particle"(near the end), I suddenly wondered something that I don't think I've ever seen discussed scientifically.
We know that all the universe is composed of certain, infinitly(so it seems) small particles. My question is, what is 'thought' composed of? I know, sort of, what *causes* a thought, the brain responding to specific stimuli. What I wonder is, once a thought exists, what is it comprised of? It is in my brain, but is it made of the same "particles" that my brain is made of? Does "thought" have a mass? Can it be measured? I suppose that "thought" would be a form of energy, but then wouldn't it still be measurable?
Well, the basic question is, "What does 'thought' exist *as*? What does it consist of?
Is this something that I should already know? Maybe I never learned it, because I didn't go to college?
Can't wait to hear the replies. CarolAnn
