Well for this I'm kind of looking to the EPR paradox for validation. I have this theory also, that intergalactic travel is not so much done with spacecraft as much as a kind of astral projection. I try to use the view of biological stucture as a machine, a very advanced one at that. Anyway hopefully someone with an imagination answers this.

yeah dude! Keep your mind open. It's possible that the people who give you book answers are idiots. If we never looked beyond what we know, then we would still be neanderthols pissing on ourselves. It is very enlightened to believe that we don't know everything yet. Keep going with your theory please.

Do you believe the EPR because 3 guys got together and came up with a paradox.?
It takes about 432 second for light to reach my head from the Sun. While it take so long for the light to reach my brains has thought out one million episodes of my life. While the light hit my head with one Photon.
Now which was faster the photon or my brains?And i wrote this answer a litle faster.

Nerve impulses in the brain travel at a few cm per second. So the speed of thought is many orders of magnitude slower than the speed of light. It would be faster to crawl to the stars. Backwards. In a straight jacket.

Since the speed of light and the speed of electricity (300,000,000 meters per second) are approximately the same, and thought is an electrical process, theoretically it would also be the same, but due to chemical processes, it's considerably slower. Like 3x Mach one.
I hope this helps :-)

No, electrical (and chemical) impulses in the body, because they are not going through a vacuum, go far far slower than light. From what I remember, just a few times faster that the speed of sound.

As your speed increases you mas does so to. So to maintain a constant rate of acceleration you must produce more energy. When you get near the speed of light the energy you need is 1/0 with means infinite. Think about it.

No it isn't.
"Thought" apparently goes at roughly about 50 Hz, light goes 186,000 miles per Second or 300,000,000 meters per Second
ERRATUM It isn't 50 >>M<< Hz it is just 50 Hz, a little under the phase of AC in household current as that is 60 Hz

Probably not.
reason your thoughts are generated by neurotransmitters that flow through nerves in the brain.... they travel at a signifigantly slower pace than light.

No. As far as man knows, light is the fastest thing known. That is based on man's concept of time. Time is a convenience of man so he knows when to go to work. Time is irrelevant in the universe.

No. Thought takes longer than it takes for light to travel the same distance.
