String theory and M-theory in physics is really another piece of evidence of the nature of how the brain creates the mind:Physics claims it is looking for the "mind of God" in the most basic theories - string theory or M theory - when they are actually looking at the mind of mind. Vibrating strings and many dimensions of space are the self-created components of difficult thought using the mind that uses brain cells seeking ideal frequencies ("vibrations") representing massive numbers of dimensions of subject matter.Wouldn't it be possible to come up with a mathematical model that seems to solve all elementary components of physics that is really a mathematical model that emulates the way the brain represents all cognition?Links and references relating to this episode:The Elegant Universe on Nova (and online) Click here to help support Everyone's Revolution by filling out the Survey
