Pain is a neurological reaction to a stimulus. The experience of feeling physical pain is only pain if our brain perceives the experience as pain. Of course, the feeling of pain is normally a subconscious reaction. It’s a trait that has been developed and passed down in evolution to help keep species alive. If a particular species cannot be conscious of pain and inevitably fear pain, they will not be able to act accordingly and avoid potentially deadly situations. Therefore this inherit trait has been passed down through evolution. Experiencing pain is nothing more than a chemically induced feeling. Our brain sends neuro peptides to the wounded area that trigger a variety of cells to start performing biological and chemical reactions among the cells. This is observed when blood-clotting proteins begin to forum in the wounded area on cuts. The peptides are triggering all sorts of cellular changes to occur. Therefore one can argue that the brain is chemically altering other cells in our bodies. Many scientists have then hypothesized that the brain can control other cells in the body and even modify or mutate them into new cells. An example of this idea is witnessed when dealing with a placebo. The brain actually believes that it is curing a damaged cell enough that it must send the correct neuro peptides to surrounding cells and to the damaged cells themselves in a way that it "fixes" the problem. So yes, I believe that our conscious and subconscious thoughts can genetically alter our bodies on a cellular level. Its the old quantum story of if we never were told we couldn’t walk on water, and didn’t experience water as being less dense than us, then we be able to essentially "walk" on water..... I believe this to be more of a hallucination than a actual "physical" experience....but what is a” physical" experience? ... Its only physical until we interact with "it", until then its only a possibility of consciousness. LOL .... I think I explained that a bit wacko..... im still new to this stuff sry!

This could be a an extremely complex question to answer so I guess I will narrow my curiosity in hopes to eventually piece bits of information together to ultimately understand circuitry and more specifically computer circuitry. I know how a Hard Drive works. It consists of a band of thin magnetic metal tightly wound into a condensed coil. Then data is stored by arranging the electrons. +1 = Proton and 0 = Neutron. So I grasp the general idea of how you store information onto this coil of magnet. I think the electrons are manipulated with electric impulses so that they remain aligned on the magnetic strip for recall later. I think you then write a very complex code to use the 1s and 0s to make other things. This is where I get lost. For one, how exactly do you manipulate electrons so precisely? And secondly, how do you extract this information and turn it into other types of software. Id love to understand this concept better if any one cares to probe deeper into this subject and give me an informational explanation.

If I understand this correctly, Einstein's theory of relativity can be used to describe and ultimately define momentum. Doesn’t time have something to do with momentum? - Without time you cannot properly measure velocity, or even motion. Am I missing something.... but without time...how do you measure speed? Without speed how do you define momentum? Obviously momentum is relative to mass, speed and friction. Am I a confused SOB or what? Iv heard that if you catch up to the speed of light it would no longer exist!!!? It will seem as the light is not moving...but at a stand still...but if light is at a stand still you can’t see it? WTF! Or what about that experiment where you take a laser beam, and shine it though a vertical slit onto a wall. When the slit is open, the laser beam will appear round on the wall, then as you narrow the slit, the sides of the beam begin to narrow (as expected) and the light becomes oval shaped until you close the slit so far that all you see is the "wave" of the light and it does not end up being a tiny vertical slit of light, but rather it spreads our horizontally. I’m sorry if I didn’t explain that good enough, but if some of you know about what I’m talking about and care to explain this phenomena to me, id like that a lot! Its has something to do with quantum theory that light is not light until you see it...or something!...I'm just starting to study physics and science in general, so these ideas fascinate me but I’m unable to fully grasp them yet.
