To answer the original question: Awareness occurs kind of like spotting the biggest drop of water. In the brain every strand of thought is transferred to the parts of the brain that matter, working like a continuous wave. However this occurs all the time, and way too much for us to perciieve...

The mind is devided into many segments and layers. The emotions come from the limbic system, and the outer cambrium is where intellect derives from. This association also comes from the back of the brain to the front, that back being the occupital lobe which interperates vision, and the front...

Lurch, don't get your inferences from movies. There could be no such virus. the virus in the movie was actually Ebola with threads drawn on, but in reality no virus is 100% lethal. Evev the Bubonic plague was 90% lethal, and due to the fact we have an immune system, we create cells to kill most...

I'm not talking about the speed of collision with andromeda, since well, most of it is empty space so we won't be colliding with andromeda itself, but the collision into a star would blow us to hell. Also, there's the chance of flying out of the galaxy after we collide, since well, we're 2/3...

The speed to recall the memories, is at a minimum, .04 seconds, and as to the reply, we only see in 2 dimensions, but we think in more than 3 dimensions, so that the image we build in our minds is on a higher dimension than the actual experience. Also, since we can not experience something truly...

Here is my take on the logical end of the world, or at least life as we know it. The fallowing varry in time, and level of destruction, and are ranked byt probability of the cause to our extinction fallowed by an explanation as to why: T=time, P=probability of extinction 10.) Alien invasion...

OOPS! Last thing! in an experiment using magnetoencephalography (MEG) which finds the magnetic field made by brain cells ass they light up. It was found that a thought can be made in less than .04 seconds, and that using O15 (an unstable isotope of oxygen that has the half life of 2 minutes) in...

Olias, I thought about this myself many times. I tried to examine the likelyhood of consciousness being on a higher dimension, with at least an attempt to use science as help. However I found that this is an abstract idea which science can not explore, so I turned to pure reason and logic...

Our brains, however you may not think so are EXTEEMLY inneficiant. We have 1,000,000 times more neurons, than a graphing calculator has circuits, however we think 1,000,000 times slower than it does when it comes to math. Why is this? For one, and one reason only, that our brains were not...

Asexual mating is unproductive beacuase adaptation, and evolution is harder, also the possibility to grow larger is neerly impossible. Having two sexes allows for natural selection to take place, selecting the best genes, and it also let's us evolve fast in certain situations like in a...

Actually, for the past 30 years we've been hearing radio waves from the big bang origin. Its a neer silent hush, but we've also succeeded in "mnapping" these waves by their frequencies, this should indicate the "end of the universe" and we have found that the end of the universe is...

Forget belief, let's talk probability. According to theory there are at least 10000 planets with semi inttelligent-intelligent beings in our universe, but also according to that theory we will never meet any of them. As for contacting them, if they are up to 90 light years away they should be...

First off, back to the riginal question: 1. Ofcoarse as logical beings, it's safe to say we would be cautious on first meeting the aliens, and we would try to be prepared for any possible outcome and we would most likely have our military on high alert. As for fear, any logical, intuitive...
