[George Hammond MS Physics (1967)] .. ..... Look, (Dr/Prof) Bowden – I'll forgo attempting to be CRUDE since I would probably fail to be crude enough ! .. You obviously have some kind of a "nationality" hair across your butt apparently from being Cornish and growing up in England – certainly an seemingly obscure disenchantment for an 82-year-old world-class scientist ? .. And that personality fetish leaves us trying to maneuver around a peculiarity in order to try and extract a meaningful scientific opinion from a otherwise first rank scientist .. I am 82 years old also – therefore both of us are staring death from old age squarely in mirror ! .. So with that common interest, since we are both scientists, (you PhD chemist, and me MS physicist) – I would think that you might be able to venture an OPINION as to whether my scientific intuition about STUART HAMEROFF's discovery of the MICROTUBULE function of the brain: – DOES OR DOES NOT suggests the following SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS: – .. TO WIT: – A HYPOTHESIS ..... History informs us that the origin of the belief that there is a "Life after Death" in some kind of a "dream state" originates with the Egyptian fascination with nocturnal dreams. The walls inside the pyramids are covered with hieroglyphic dissertations of the theory. ..... Unfortunately a few hundred years ago it was discovered that dreams are caused by the human brain – therefore if the brain was instantly destroyed at death (such as a lightning bolt strike) there would be nothing left to produce an Afterlife, and belief in the Afterlife has declined ever since ! .. HOWEVER, now HAMEROFF and PENROSE tell us that the "brain behind the brain" is in fact the MICROTUBULE system – operating inside and thus "behind" the neuronal system. and Hameroff has discovered that these microtubules conduct information at the speed of ultraviolet light at a frequency of 10^15 hertz – In comparison the "neuronal brain" which only operates (neuronal firing) at around a measly 100 Hz. .. This means that the microtubule brain is computing TEN TRILLION times FASTER than the neuronal brain ! .. This tells us that if a lightning bolt obliterated the brain in 50 µs the microtubule brain could read out a "death dream" 40 years long at neuronal firing speed – a 10 trillion to one SPEEDUP and yet – since the microtubule system would be the OBSERVER of this dream – the "proper time" (40 years) of the dream would be preserved ! The bedside observer would see the dearly departed die in a few seconds – while the dying person was actually spending 40 years in Heaven. Like (Dr/Prof) FRANK TIPLER says "it doesn't matter how fast the computer is running – as far as the computer is concerned – the MOVIE will take the same length of time" .. As a PhD physical chemist, YOU ARE GENERALLY COGNIZANT of the state-of-the-art in science today. .. And I put it to you – DOES OR DOES NOT this suggestion represent the first "SCIENTIFICALLY PRACTICAL" possible explanation of the now 2000 year Christian history of the belief in "Life after Death" .. YES OR NO ? .. George Hammond, MS Physics (1967) ..
