Pyramids ( \/ )



Could the pyramid builders have been graffiti artists?

I was just wondering if the ancient < possibility >
more modern pyramid builders where actually
just joking around.   Maybe they where creating
a graphical statement to the future - something
to the effect -

these things are really upside down - wonder
if folks in the future will get it !!!!

Curious behaviors of the human mind


To my understanding, and I believe there has been significant research
in neuroscience concerning the phenomena - which I'm not going to
try in site - there is a mechanism by which we perceive time in a sequential
way.  What that means is that we are aware that a previous time period
occurs before a later time period.  I am not sure how this connects to other
species, like fish and baboons.  But this perception seems to play an
important role in how we behave generally, as well as in our social
experience.  In social experience it relates to our understanding that
this perception is shared generally with " everyone " else.

This perception interestingly relates to an area of research which is often
called entanglement - but sometime also referred to as EPR where a lot
of the thinking on this originated - meaning the paper by Einstein,
Podolsky, and Rosen - link wikipedia - EPR Paradox .

What entanglement suggests is that our intuition and even perception of
time may not be entirely accurate as corresponds to the physical reality.
By that I mean our perception of sequences, which generally function
well in normal experience my not apply so generally to the nature of
physical reality.   These ideas also apply to the issue of casualty -
or how generally we sort out the chicken and the egg and also it might
apply to very large data sets.

The door has not been closed on the issue of entanglement, in fact I
 believe we are early yet in our understanding of it - and its
potential (?) applications.
