The hypothesis is simply that brain cells, most likely
cortical neurons, communicate between brains via electromagnetic
radiation. The theory is that groups of cells, areas of the cortex,
have specialized into representing various "elements" of sensory
perception. This, I believe, is fairly well established. From
there, I propose that these sensory elements are actually the
elements, "building-blocks", of thought. A person deprived of
*all* sensory perception from birth would never likely develop
a thought in his or her brain. Therefore, it stands to reason
that all thought is built of simple sensory elements. The myriad
elements combine in different patterns to produce various thoughts.
The reason for this model is singular: it makes thought
communication possible. If each set of differentiated sensory
cells possessed a compound, a molecule, that could be excited to
emit radio energy of a wavelength unique to that group of cells,
that group of cells could communicate with a like group of cells
in a different brain provided that these cells were also capable
of responding to, and only to, that particular frequency.
In effect, each sensory element would have its own
"channel". The act of thought would stimulate the specific cells
of which the thought was composed. The cells would each emit a
unique frequency, simultaneously, and stimulate similar cells in
another brain provoking a like thought.
The problem is that should these molecular emissions be
of millimeter or submillimeter wavelength, which is *quite* likely,
detection becomes somewhat of a problem. The science of millimeter/
submillimeter spectroscopy is not far advanced nor, I'm afraid,
that popular. Working at these wavelengths is, for me, a difficult
proposition. But, as they say, gold is where you find it.
Science and politics have long had a love/hate relationship.
I don't suppose that I can hope they'll ever break up. It is vitally
important, however, to distinguish the two.
