If as speed of a neutrino increases to near Cee, & time slows down relative to a fixed observer, does the photon, traveling at Cee experience time? Or has time stopped for the photon, that is, does the photon experience time? That is, if one were to ride on a photon, does all time stop? Or does almost all time stop for a neutrino at 99.9999% Cee? That is, is there instantaneity for the photon?

Well, as a clinical neurosciences practioner for some decades, Classification of psychiatric disorders found in the DSM5, which came out May 2013, is hardly artificial. It refers to real, scientifically measurable characteristics of, for example, narcissists. There is a Narcissistic scale in some psych tests, too. It's a real, existing disorder, and the classification of this refers to actual, existing persons who show those characteristics. A great many public people, often in the entertainment and other professional fields are rather narcissistic. One of think of the divas who have been that way and some surgeons, to be sure. Read the DSM classification. It's a real and existing description of these persons. If this is artificial, which most psych professionals would not agree with, then is animal ethology, which describes species behaviors and characteristics real, existing events, or are they artificial too? These personality disorder descriptions are very carefully arrived at supported by the full panoply of published psychological/psychiatric studies and work to substantiate it. http://www.psi.uba.ar/academica/carrerasdegrado/psicologia/sitios_catedras/practicas_profesionales/820_clinica_tr_personalidad_psicosis/material/dsm.pdf " I don't expect you to accept this, so give me three examples of great inventors or geniuses who were thought to be stupid." Or crazy. Semmelweiss and puerperal fever, Wegener and continental drift, and Tesla, come immediately to mind. The geologist who pointed out that the Scablands of eastern Washington were due to repeated, massive floods. There are many more. Newton believed in witchcraft, alchemy, and had some other rather weird beliefs. Today, he'd be thought of as nuts, clinically.. Recently there have been studies which show that the dopamine profiles of many highly creative persons closely resembles that of schizophrenics. There is a clear relationship between madness and genius, surely not in every case, but in too many cases to ignore. Paul Gauguin, a number of ancient Greeks, who were quite creative, even brilliant. Socrates was killed and Galileo locked up. As Bohr stated to a grad student, after he'd just presented a new model in physics, "Young man, your ideas are crazy, but not crazy enough to be right." Yes, even Darwin was thought to be way out of line by a great many persons. And recall that even Einstein NEVER got a Nobel Prize for relativity, either, his greatest work. Maybe it just depends upon POV, tho, what is crazy, what is genius, and who are stupid or fools? The Clermont and Fulton come to mind as do the horseless carriages. There are an unlimited number of examples, sadly. "Progress in physics proceeds funeral by funeral" --Albert Einstein

Yes, the brain can be affected by high Tesla magnetic fields. Ever hear of the magnetic stimulator? It's been used for years in electromyograms (EMG) to apply a short duration, high intensity magnetic field, which depolarizes the nerve. It repolarizes and it gets stimulated. The limb jumps or the sensory nerve works, giving a zing to the person. The same paddle can be used on the brain, which makes it depolarize and part of the body will jump. I've seen it done on stage and it's quite harmless and interesting. fMRI (functional MRI) does NOT depolarize the brain, nor do usual MRI's. There is no disruption of thinking or anything else, as the field strength is too weak. You can Google & read about some of these including the magnetic encephalogram (MEG), which when used in tandem (comparing data) with the fMRI, is giving very useful data about how specific areas of the brain work. When combined wth a theoretically possible point magnetic stimulator, the gyri could be explored, sequentially, using stereotactic methods, well worked out in neurosurgery. As each magnetic point stimulation would stop functioning of an area in the gyrus as long as the field was pulsing, using data from the MEG and fMRI, we could detect what was turned off temporarily and thus explore the brain gyri in exquisite detail, using the 3 methods together. This would create, essentially a brain map of functions all through out the cortex of the brain, and possibly deeper structures, giving us huge amounts of new data about what structures & areas in the cortex of the brain subsume functions. The potential would be enormous, if it can be done, which seems likely. http://jochesh00.wordpress.com/2014/05/16/the-praxis/ Just go to the above article, the "Praxis", and about 55% of the way down to : ""Currently, functional MRI (fMRI) is being combined .... with Magnetic Encephalogram (MEG) to study structure/function relationships in the brain."" And read through it. It will give you some idea what's possible using these 3 methods. The Cortical Evoked potential, or P300 written above this can give you some idea what can be detected in brain using these methods, today. Actually, we can almost see a thought, electrically, but we have to rely upon the subjects reports, mostly, to confirm it. There is a journal report which shows they were able to ID the number a person was thinking of, from 1 thru 9, simply by reading the magnetic activity of the Left Inferior parietal area of brain concerned with thinking of a number in the mind. This is the mind/brain interface capabilities which are coming. It's quite exciting, too. Shades of "Total Recall"!!

Time is process. Events in our universe proceed, such as the spin of the earth on its axis, which marks the day, and time it takes the earth to orbit the sun. And the time it takes Cs atoms to "do their thing" which means a spin change, which is why atomic clocks are so very accurate. Or the watch makers can create a tiny quartz X-tal to vibrate and measure those to keep track of seconds. Time is process. No time is absolute, either. All time is measured relative to a mostly stable, fixed point. Time is related to strength of gravitational fields relative to a greater or lesser field. It's related to velocity relative to a stable, fixed point, too. As an object moves faster relative to the speed of light, time slows down. As gravitational fields get weaker, time speeds up, relatively. A particle in a high gravitational field, would find that time had slowed down, relative to a lower gravitational field. A particle in the high mass density of the nucleus would find itself slowed down, relative to outside the nucleus. Theoretically, if all mass/gravity were removed, time would speed up to instantaneous. That might suggest how the universe was created. On a quantum level, faster than light is not forbidden, which could account for the acausal events of QM. Hawkings stated that is how a black hole evaporates. Photons/particles quantum tunnel out of a Black Hole at FTL. This has not yet been confirmed, but is allowable in QM. Theoretically, if a photon/particle exceeded Cee (light speed), it could go back in time. The interesting thing is, without mass/gravity, there would not be space/time. This might related to cosmology.
