Philosophy Wire: Fragments of memory…

A study has identified a neural mechanism in humans that allows us to segment our experience in discrete memory units. According to the research, the brain identifies context changes as 'frontiers' in the flow of our experience and uses them to fragment the course of events into small units of memory that can be stored long-term. [1] The only way to understand the cosmos in our finite brain is by slicing it down into pieces. Because the infinite cannot fit in the finite. If we were to understand the cosmos as a whole, we would need to discard the one thing we appreciate the most: our brain. Everything cannot fit into something. It needs nothing to accept everything… Only zero can fit infinite… Only by forgetting everything can we remember anything… Keep slicing the pie into thinner pieces. Until you reach to the whole pie again…
