Why aren't we blinded by a myriad of thoughts ? Olber's Paradox and the limited outreach of neurons
by Roger Clough Adapting to Leibniz's philosophy of mind, each of the neurons in the brain is a monad and all of tbhe monads in the universe are perceived (Leibniz uses the word "reflected", since all of the monads reflect the perceptions of all of the others through the Chief MONAD http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/leibniz-mind/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olbers%27_paradox Olbers' paradox >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "Olbers' paradox in action In astrophysics and physical cosmology, Olbers' paradox, named after the German astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers (1758?1840) and also called the "dark night sky paradox", is the argument that the darkness of the night sky conflicts with the assumption of an infinite and eternal static universe. The darkness of the night sky is one of the pieces of evidence for a non-static universe such as the Big Bang model. If the universe is static and populated by an infinite number of stars, any sight line from Earth must end at the (very bright) surface of a star, so the night sky should be completely bright. This contradicts the observed darkness of the night." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
