Read Jeff Hawkins' book "On Intelligence". It covers many of those points. Also, look at Hinton's work for more information on thoughts, imagination, and creativity. Lastly, I would also add that I think some of those points are simply imaginary (creations of the imagination). Human level AI...

What do you consider large? If you do the calculations correctly, it should be pretty small. Make sure you are plugging in the right constants.

This is incorrect, and the exact reason why I chose to reply to this topic. It's almost annoying to me how often I hear this. It's as if everybody thinks they are an expert on the subject. Perhaps 50 years ago scientists regarded the brain as a neural network, but we have much more complex...

They deal with two completely different issues (as far as anyone at the moment knows). EPR deals with non-local transmission of quantum state, while the uncertainty principle deals with the limits of obtainable information. So, you've got two distinct issues, obtaining information vs...

The probability of a photon emission from a single electron is related to the alpha constant, so I think you would have to have that constant somewhere in your calculation in order for it to be accurate. But honestly, that's just a hunch.

True. That would be quite a surprise. I think I was talking more in terms of the layman. Scientists already generally regard the brain as a type of parallel machine (which is what I think you were implying).

As far as I understand, the brain can be described just fine in classical terms. Also, I'm fairly certain that entanglement does not play any role, due to decoherence. There are fairly good very simplistic classical models of the brain, that describe neurons in broad terms, such as activation...

The 4th derivative of a sine wave is itself. This, of course, not only is a fact, but can be used to define the sine wave. My question is, are there any theories relating the abundance of sine waves in QM to the fact that the largest dimensions of space-time are together 4 dimensional? For...
