Wolfhart Willimczik

@Bill Angel The nice locking women in the picture in your website could be the one we remember from the crowed I spoke from. Visualizing dreams would be interesting. Perhaps smart computers in the future may do this or at least assist us to paint our own dreams. Thanks also for the links. Unfortunately you are right. I am a German and struggle still with my bad Enflish, but I would be thankful for every improvement by you. (I have first to learn what “mental models” are to follow your thoughts.)

About 100 years ago several physicists - including Albert Einstein - created the Quantum mechanic. But nobody could explain why a single exited electron emit light just this time and just in a specific direction. Calculations are only exact for a great number of atoms. The term "probability" was introduced by dropping causality. Einstein had a problem with it, because it is unthinkable that something happens in nature without any reason. Einstein believed an Electron has no own will to decide when to emit a light quanta and in what direction. "The thing about causality plagues me very much, " Einstein wrote Max Born in 1920. [1: Walter Isaacson, “Einstein – his live and universe” page 324, Simon & Schuster] Einstein was not ready abandoning continuity and causality in nature. Niels Bohr was also against Einstein’s opinion and countered to him, “ abandoning strict causality was the only way open." Einstein lamented, "but if all this is true then it means the end of physics." [2 : Niels Bohr,"Discussion with Einstein" in Schilpp, 205-206; Clark.202] I think also we had no physics if something may happen without any reason.

Sleep and dream in a scientific view By Physicist Wolfhart Willimczik In the lexicon, one finds: "The dream is a kind of unconscious mental activity. Their biological function has not yet been fully understood." I could find also: During sleep, the information of the day is "processed". How exactly does that happen? This is a first attempt to explain it. We will understand how our brain is working if we succeed to build a computer with the same features - which is able to do the same processes as our brain – at least in some respect. Such comparison is scientifically allowable, because both have to follow the laws of nature, ergo run in the same problems. Such a computer must have all the sensors as a human, at least eyes and ears. We could put a video camera on a human running the entire day. The problem comes if all the available memory sticks are full. If we not interfere we would find that this computer needs to disconnect from all sensors after about a day to get into a quite or “sleeping” mode to process all the information from last day to avoid a shut down due to a full memory. (The “sleep mode” on today’s computer is not the same.) Our brain has the same problem to process all information from the last day to make room for a new flow of information the next day. Our today’s computer ask us what can be erased and what shell be where and how permanently saved. Our brain must do this task without asking us. Ergo – our futuristic computer must do the same without any help from the outside, processing and saving large video files, sound files, information coming in by an entire array of sensors similar to a human and files made by programs inside the computer itself to the right places. Evidently our brain has to divide itself in at least one working part (RAM - Random Access Memory) and in a storage part (ROM - Read Only Memory), actually in several parts. We know already a ultra short memory in the range of 1 minute, a short time memory of about 1 day and a permanent memory. The brain - like computer must know (our character, experience etc) what is worse to save and what can be erased. If the computer shell work alone a live time (over 80 years) with a limited capacity of its memory etc it can’t save all the incoming information, but must decide what to erase and what to save permanently. If there is already a big memory from many years like a 30 years old human it will be a complicated process what needs time and the entire processing capacity. In this time the computer cuts all connections to its sensors except a few necessary for survival. We call it sleep. It may take the entire night. In the morning the computer will just be ready to take more information from all the sensors etc. Our brain has already all these features and is able to deal with an immense amount of information. How can a futuristic computer do this? First there is a short-term memory that stores everything like a video recorder, but just a short time, because it is easily filled up. The eyes provide a video - sound, touch, own thoughts etc will be added. Some of it goes into a storage that contains everything since the last sleep. The rest of the short-term memory is erased approximately every minute. The unimportant information must be identified and deleted. For this purpose every piece of information get an extra parameter – "a level of importance”. Today's computers can not do it, but our brain makes it always automatically. Depending on our character, experience etc we know what we are interested in the pictures, the noise, odor and other impressions. According to our impression the information is erased or is more or less deep in our memory saved. All what made us astonished or frightened will be permanently stored – “wow-effect”. Example: From a big crowd remains just the image of the beautiful girl. Everything else will be deleted immediately. From the entire video we saw only one person. All the selected information is now in the daily memory, which is already significant less, but must be emptied during sleep, to be receptive again the next day. In sleep, the connections to the sensors are disconnected or almost all shut down, that the entire brain processing capacity can now be used to process all new information – empty the RAM. It knows what we're interested in, which is saved in our – lets say – “character”. But this is still not enough. It must find the right spot in the permanent storage, that it can easily accessed again, if the owner of this brain has the desire to remember this. The bigger the storage the more difficult is this process to save and to read again this specific information. (it is known that humans with smaller storage can faster remember things.) The saving process itself: The computer/brain must compare the new information (what was happening today) with everything that already exists in the permanent storage to find the right spot for saving the new information. Therefore, it searches in the sleeping mode the entire memory for similarities. This is normally beyond our consciousness (except if we dream.) Junks of saved information must have something like a name, number or similar finding tool. If there are found similarities to several already existing information a more specific process is started. We would on a split screen run the new video and simultaneously different ones from the permanent memory until we find one fitting to the new one and save it there permanently. Our brain made it probably basically in the same way, but a bit more intelligent. It had millions of years to optimize this process. (I had 71 years only.) Example: The brain would have erased the visit of the mother-in-law almost immediately, but she was that annoying and made the couple angry, this event received such a very negative review (strong impression) that the brain saved it permanently. The brain searched under "mother-in-law", “annoying visitors” etc for similar events. In fact, she had done the same already 7 times before and the search engine of the brain finds easily a big chunk “visits by mother-in-law”. It compares the old "videos" with the new one and notes that there are similar events and put it there to the old ones during we sleep. Our strong (negative) rating is maintained in the permanent memory. This information may follow us the entire live, even if we want to forget it. It can’t be erased from the permanent memory. It could perhaps only overwritten with the same event only with a better ending to sooth the memory. Forgetting something is much harder than learning something if it is already in the permanent memory. On the other hand we should get a good sleep after we learned something, with it the brain saved it in the permanent memory. (Very strong events like an accident etc go perhaps strait in the permanent memory.) The reading from our permanent memory is easier the higher the rating from this specific information is. We are attempt to make a scale from – 10 to + 10, but the actual rating can be in some seldom cases like an accident much higher – that high, that it comes always uninvited back in our consciousness (working memory or RAM) and messed up our day. Dream: This rather complicated process of selecting, erasing and saving parts of our daily memory happens every night, regardless of whether we have been dreaming or not. Because this is a long complicated process it will need several hours – with a computer too. If we - by some reason - disturb this process by switching our just hard working memory (RAM) into conscious mode, we find remnants of the day's events, but also things from the old days that either fit to each other or not. We combine the 2 running “videos” just being in RAM to one. If we wake up we remember this. This is our dream (a little simplified). We find in a normal dream things from yesterday and things from older days. But there are also different dreams: Besides a video track, audio track etc, there are tracks left by our own thoughts. What needs to be processed as well. If you just burst into this process with your consciousness, you will have either a nice dream, because there was just the track with our desires, or we have a nightmare what shows us what we fear the most. So how can we define a dream? We interrupt the normal information processing during sleep by turning on the conscious mode. Now we "see" - in other words we dream - the fragments of the two tracks running just this moment in our working memory (RAM). Anyone can test this by himself by analyzing its own "simple" dreams. The question is: are there things simultaneously in a dream from yesterday and things from the past. Now dream something nice. I am excited about the feedback.

I am German and I am thankful for any improvement of my bad English. It seems I can't change the title any more in this case, but I think there is more and I will change all my errors as soon it is possible. Thanks p.s. I know my language weakness and would be happy if you (orany other physicist) would edit my entire article. I am not rich, but I wouldpay a little money for it or you (or any other physicist) could be become aco-author, if this article get published. I could send you my doc file for editing. My secure E-mailaddress is: p7gm9x@hushmail.com Thanks Wolfhart Willimczik

Is there any other physicist who may follow my thoughts? I don't want talk with me alone and I am waiting ofother opinions or is my hypothesis ad hoc acceptable that nothing must be said any more?

Reason for metastable state discovered - Establishing causality in nature again - Very seldom one stumbled in the desert over a diamond. Ifyou search the internet ones find sometimes very interesting thoughts. There is a theory for a new law of physics for everybody interested in. It seems Einstein was right to say: "God doesn't play dice." See attached file METASTABILITY.pdf
