What is the speed of thought?

>> No.8420919

>>8420915
It depends on IQ

Intellegent people like me can think faster than the speed of light.

electron speed

Impossible. The physical mechanism of the mind cannot violate basic laws of physics. It takes 13 milliseconds to see an image, and interpret it.

No, just becasue the information is being sent at that speed does not mean it is processed at that speed.

>> No.8420940

>>8420915

infinite, like all information.

Its speed is 1/2, because either it's moving or it's not.

About 30 m/s, varies a lot depending on which nueron you're looking at

It's not electrons rather charged ions that create action potentials leading to the release of neurotransmitters at the synapses, there is no electrons moving in the brain like in an electric circuit.

it's based on the assertion and observation that all interactions happen within their own reference frame. If this were not the case, then some things could go faster than light in some other reference frames, and thus go backwards through time.

So far, there exists no evidence to refute this claim (independent reference frames), and -less importantly- lots of evidence to support it.
