Theories

"This Is Your Brain On Music" is turning out to be quite a gem. I love the explanations and metaphors. For example: Remember that question -> If I tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? No. It makes molecules vibrate, but sound doesn't exist unless it's "heard". Same thing with color. An apple isn't made up of tiny red things. It's how we perceive it that makes it red. I haven't gotten very far, I'm savoring it. I like it.

Relativity fascinates me, obviously. It amazes me how emotions change the perception of our world. Sometimes we walk through fog and couldn't tell anyone what we did that day. Other times things are crystal clear. We know the moment something happened. It just all depends on the inner workings of our brain and whatever it is that makes us, us.

Sometimes I want to reach in and shut it off. Sometimes I want to stop everything because it's so amazing.
