Thoughts about this sculpture: The neuron cell: This marvel giving rise to human consciousness, the neuron. - a thought maker, - the building block of human brain, - a perfect quantum computer at room temperature, - with a million gates on its nucleus surface exuming toxins due to electro-chemical transmission, - brain a complex electro-chemical quantum mega computer, - secrets still exist on how it programs and transmits data between each other, - neurons are layed out in a large sheet with multiple layers the size of a tennis court and are bunched up in the shape of our brain, - the electro-chemical transmission and connections is who we are as a person, - neuron cells are able to fire quicker than we are aware to make quick reflex decisions with predictive ability eg: baseball batter hitting the ball at fast speeds, - scientists say it could contain the data of the whole universe, - we only use a small percentage of its processing power, - we are not using areas of the brain that could have extra capabilities.
