Abstract:
Let’s do a small thought experiment. We conceptualise the world through the information
we get from our sensory organs, and a complex deductive process carried out by our brain.
Let’s for simplicity focus on our vision, and information and deduction process associated.
So, for argument’s sake, this person has one sensory organ, the eye, but rational can be
extended to all other organs that make up a complete human. We ‘see’ an object when
essentially 3 ingredients sync together. (1) A particle or a wave emerging from the relevant
object (2) The wave connecting to the eye as the sensory organ (3) the nerve system that
communicates this signal to the brain, and the brain that then compares the attributes of the
information contained in this signal with a pre-established database and giving a certain
conclusion or perception . The final artefact of this process is that one sees or recognises the
relevant object (e.g. car) and the whole process takes place in a tiny infinitesimally small
time scale, and we deduce the time lapse as instantaneous.
