Marvelous article! Physics, neuroscience, art and philosophy: a beautiful dialogue of different disciplines with beautiful writing. Thanks so much! Reaching into our personal sense of self, and memory dynamics. Thanks! I will ponder on it.
There are people I can no longer picture clearly, but I know exactly how they laughed. I remember things they said, things they did, the way they made certain foods, the things they owned, even how they smelled.
Maybe that's not a lesser kind of remembering after all. Maybe the picture gets blurry because the person isn't being kept as a picture anymore.
Incredible article! Thank you so much! Tying together the physics of holograms, the art of Dali, the mind blowing experiments of Michael Levin. And perhaps intimating a solution to the problem of neuronal memories! I love sophisticated writing across a Renaissance-level range of subjects. This one is well worth the subscription for the month, and had me looking forward to more stimulating and thought- provoking articles in the future!
Lovely, fun and enjoyable essay to read. You have illustrated how art and science are naturally unified.

“You have not lost them; you have kept them.”
That reached into my heart.

They're everywhere else.
