Brain perception - the two halves of our brain


The perceptions of the right and left halves of our brain...

The brain has two halves – the left and right. They act completely differently, have different personalities, but are the same – kind of the yin and yang. In order for both to function, they must communicate as one via something called the corpus callosum. Interestingly, scans show that male brains excel at thinking within one half at a time while female brains excel at thinking within both halves at a time. 

The right brain...
The right brain is concentrated in the present setting and time.It photographically thinks and learns through the kinesthetic movement of your body. Kinesthetic movement is how your body learns while moving. The right brain absorbs the energy and structure of the world around you and translates that into information for your sensory systems. It doesn’t know the difference between your own consciousness and the world the surrounds you. 

The left brain...
The left brain is a very different world. It thinks linearly and methodically. It picks out countless things, ideas, details from the past, and makes calculated predictions about the future. The left hemisphere thinks language, it represents your inner and outer voice. Essentially, it makes you aware that you exist as a separate being from the energy and mass field perceived by the right hemisphere of your brain. 

Your own reality...
What if the human brain functioned using only the right brain? Your perception of everything would be much different. You would be wandering in the universe filled with energy in one setting, the here and now, with no perception of time – the past and future. You wouldn't know where your body was, nor anything else relative to it, or the difference between you and me!
This is a completely different perception of what we perceive in this perception. It leads to how different perceptions lead to completely different experiences of reality. Knowing this about the two hemispheres of the human brain, the question, “what is reality?” changes form. So does the question, “Is reality real?” It now attaches to your subjective perspective.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Notable physicists answer….  Why did the chicken cross the road? Albert Einstein: The chicken did not cross the road. The road passed beneath the chicken. It’s relative. Erwin Schrodinger: A chicken? Why not a cat? Isaac Newton: Due to a net force acting upon the chicken. Carl Sagan: There are billions and billions of such chickens, crossing roads just like this one, all across the universe. Albert Michelson and Edward Morley: We could not detect the road. Our experiment was a failure. Werner Heisenberg: We can never know the momentum of the chicken if do know its position and vice versa. This question cannot be answered. Richard Feynman: What is the trajectory of the chicken? Charles Coulomb: A chicken on the other side of the road had the opposite charge of the chicken and the chicken was thus repelled to the chicken on the other side of the road. Galileo Galilei: Because the chicken put one foot in front of the other and a sufficient number of step...

Singularities, black holes, and the geometry of space

Singularities: An answer to a theory of everything Edwin Hubble (along with others) discovered that the universe is expanding. He absorbed that the majority of galaxies where moving away from us from its spectrum. Its spectrum appeared to be redshifted: when the light wave expands when the source of light moves away, thus moving the wavelength of light towards the red end of the spectrum. We know that if the universe expands, if we reverse time, the universe must have been smaller. And some long ago, the universe would have been the size of a dot. It would have infinite mass and density and would be extremely hot enough pull apart not just atoms nor nucleuses, but elementary particles and quarks of which we don’t know its components. This singularity would live in a single dimension, just a point in ‘space’ (in fact this point is space). We learn that this singularity might lead us a key of the universe. However, this isn’t the only singularity we can find in space or in time. ...

The effects of new knowledge

I have selected three objects/entities that I will use as evidence to answer the following question (courtesy of the International Baccalaureate Organization for creating this question for the Theory of Knowledge class). Can new knowledge change established values or beliefs? -  Object 1: Image of the cosmic microwave background radiation  This is an image of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR), the electromagnetic radiation which is remnant from the earliest stage of the universe; the image has also been my go-to computer background. The CMBR’s discovery in 1965 effectively confirmed the Big Bang theory of the universe’s origins, which is why it interests me as someone who passions cosmology. However, before its discovery, it was the established belief both in the realm of science as well as in religion that the universe had been in existence for eternity. The Big Bang theory simply was not compatible with the beliefs of the larger portion of religious sects; for...
