Hello Dr. Cank and Kinder. Both of you send me Mailing addresses to degicank@gmail.com I'm about to finish the Y2k6 addition of the econocank, about 30 gigs of degicank mp3s and animations also Kirk I've got Quantum Neoruphysiology rap ready to animat with those weid charectores in front of the eiflle tower or whatever:
Let us begin with Hydrogen,
Mix 2 parts with one oxygen,
Water is 2/3rds of our bodies and Earth,
It surrounds us all from conception to birth.
Why is Water wet? Why’s the sky blue?
In our simple minds we define what is true.
But what builds the mind, I’d like to find.
Homer said, “Mind no matter, matter, never mind.”
Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.
Buckyballs, plasma, solids, liquids, gas,
Elephants, Hummin’ Birds, a silver step ladder,
Trees, rock and Stars are examples of matter.
Let’s take a close look into the Brain,
The lookee and looker are one (and/in) the same.
Let’s take a close look at the Mind,
Deep as you can! What do you find?
www.archive.org/download/B57_Tear_Your_Brain/B57TearYourBrain.mp3Beneath the skull, the brain weighs 3 lbs.
Dura, arachnoid, and pia matter surrounds.
Dura means tough, pia means fine,
matter is the membrane formed over fermenting wine.
Cerebrospinal fluid within the matters connect.
Neuroglia support, guide, nourish + protect.
100 Billion Neurons form the link,
Working together they allow us to think.
Neurons are the cells, in the spin and brain.
Dendrites, cell body, axons form a chain.
Space between the Neurons, The Synapse, isn’t large;
action potentials, ions carry electric charge.
The dendrites carry current into the body of the cell,
Home to the nissl substance, neurofibrils + organelles.
If the Cell Body decides to pass the message on,
The impulse is conducted along the axon.
At this point they don’t know if there are centrioles or not,
the latest research suggests neurons still grow a lot.
stash.nugs.net/mmw/?artist=4&show=15&cmd=shows Myelin fibers protect and insulate,
Corrales the charge; increase the transmission rate.
The Axon Terminal branches at the end,
Containing hundreds of neurotransmitters ready to send.
Neuronal Chains run through the brain,
But what builds the thoughts the neurons maintain?
Lettuce look deeper at what builds the mind,
smaller than cell bodies, what do we find?
Inside the neuron is the cytoskeleton,
gives support so the cell is not gelatin.
Microtubules build this structure,
glue it together, preventing its rupture.
Microtubule construction is where logic breaks down,
Effect before cause when the deal goes down,
But “down” don’t rhyme with “down”
Unless ONE “downs a verb and 1 is a noun.
Now that logic’s broke down it’s confusing to rhyme.
Very small particles can move backward in time.
The Uncertainty Principle prevents measuring precision,
Reality’s existence requires conscious description.
Mayhaps consciousness, the microtubules contain,
In Paramecium and Amoebas they act as a Brain.
In our neurons, microtubules are found,
across the whole brain cell, tubes a few nanometres ‘round.
From one end of the axons and the dendrites to the other,
They seem to control the strengths of connections that they cover.
The way the brain ‘is wired each moment does change.
The cytoskeleton and microtubules extend across the range.
Microtubules show a structure much more deep,
It may be the Root of our thoughts, awake or asleep.
Take the microtubules apart, and what to we see?
Perhaps the golden door for which consciousness is the key.
or
Take the microtubules apart, and what do we find?
Even further divisions of the bricks of the mind.
The tiny tubes are made of tubalin protein,
One of the craziest forms of Amino Acid we’ve seen,
If we unfold and untwist the amino acid chain,
Hydrogen in carboxyls’ replaced by NH2 groups in the brain.
Organic compound building blocks are made of Oxygen,
mixed with Carbon and Hydrogen.
The Atoms stick together because of the hydrogen bonds,
which are the result of subatomic bosons,
carriers of force named “W” and “Z”,
let atoms stick together to make the molecules we see.
The Oxygen allows release of Energy,
Carbon provides a Skeleton Key,
Carbon’s unique atomic #: 6
Allows it to do the most wonderful tricks,
Structure akin to snowflakes and beehives,
It builds diamonds, coal, and organic lives.
The Atoms like C, H and O,
are composed of three pieces everyone should know.
The Nucleus has Neutrons and Protons Inside,
the electron surrounds, on an incredible ride.
2 million metres per second, wow that’s fast!
A Negative Charge containing no mass.
A Lepton with no mass, I guess the electron is not matter,
So Will, examine the first two and neglect the latter.
Neutrons and Protons make up The Core,
but don’t stop here, look deeper there is more…
The Proton is just 10^-15 metres around,
divide it once more, 3 quarks can be found,
1 quark of down, 2 of up flavors,
Held together by gluons who’s strength never waivers.
Gluon’s Power to hold can seem very strange,
the force increases in strength with increases in range,
since the quarks can’t be broken apart,
there is no deeper to dig, we’ve reached the Brain’s Heart.
The smallest piece of matter you can find,
the Quarks build the Thoughts that fill up your mind.
To understand the mind, lets take a look,
at subatomic parts, letters in Nature’s Book.
8 gluons exist, an odd mix of color charge,
their power to hold Quarks is unimaginably large.
2 Quarks together form the mesons,
Force carriers, the integral spin branch of Hadrons.
The other division of Hadrons are fermions:
The type with 3 quarks is named Baryons.
The Baryon class contains the Proton,
Omega + Sigma, XI and Neutron.
Beside Quarks and Baryons, another fermion is the lepton,
6 types are tau, muon, electron,
each of these three have a neutrino,
so (k)now we’ve explored all the Hadrons they know.
The Quark is colorless: red+green+blue.
6 flavors: up, down, charm and strange too,
they renamed the last two bottom and top,
truth and beauty disagreed with some uptight physics cop.
Bosons are called, “Carriers of Force”,
they have more strength than a big giant horse.
electromagnetic and nuclear: strong and weak,
are the fundamental forces physicists seek.
Before the way the Universe works we discern,
there is an important lesson you must unlearn:
Your teacher lied ‘bout electron orbits spinning ‘round,
No one knows where they are, in a, praise Jah, probability cloud.
The electrons exist in the observor’s sight,
maybe they won’t appear, maybe they might.
Each Atom has Quantum #’s within,
angular momentum, orientation and spin.
Even less certain than the electron’s probable fight,
is the wave/particle duality of matter and light.
Is reality small points or is it a wave?
Evidence for both experiment gave:
The most famous experiment, the double slit,
it shows us a wave where only particles lit.
By this point of my poem you may think I’m insane.
What’s this “mumbo-jumbo” have to do with the brain?
Just Trust me for now, this course we’ll maintain.
We’ll soon see Energy and Thought are the same.
The explanation appeared when Ol’ Albert dared,
to publish that energy equaled mass times c^2.
Uniformly moving frames of reference and realativity,
explained similarity of Acceleration and Gravity.
The True structure of Reality was Einstein’s to fetch,
by realizing clocks can slow down and rulers can stretch.
Let’s zoom back up while keeping reverence,
for Realativity and Uniformly moving frames of reference.
Quarks make Protons that make Atoms We’ve Seen,
Atoms make Amino Acids that form Tubulin Protein.
Penrose the Teacha says we will find,
the tiny little tubes hold the flow of the mind.
In material microtubules, leave matter behind,
the Self or Soul is ephemeral, the Luminus Kind.
Neurons are too big for the delicate quantum tide,
in microtubules quantum-oscillations are protected inside.
Cohesion Collapse* is believed by a few,
maybe this rhyme has convinced you too.
Scientists are passionate that Penrose is wrong,
but I think his theory is Sound and strong.
It seems we’re just beginning this debate,
Whether Microtubules hold the Key to Consciousness’ Gate.
*Cohesion Collapse = Consciosness Constructed Colapse
