I suspect that the reason we have emotions is to flag the most significant memories so that when the mind is faced with a new situation, it can find the ones that caused the most pain or the most pleasure to see if they apply to the current situation. If a person had to scan through all of his or her memories in an urgent situation, there might not be time to find a solution. It would be more efficient to check the flagged memories first, thus seeing if the current situation might lead to great pain or great pleasure.
I also suspect that the reason a person's life is reported to flash before their eyes in their last moments is that the brain is in a desperate search to avoid death, and having found no flagged memory and no associated memory that indicated a solution, it looks through the entire set of memories from beginning to end.
Dr. Drew interviewed Scott Adams recently, and Scott Adams mentioned the absurdity that Republicans went to overthrow the government on Jan 6, but they neglected to bring their guns. On the first or second anniversary of the event, that alleged oversight made the narrative appear absurd to me, so I made a "video" that was supposed to be audio from January 6, captured on a video camera from which the lens cap had not been removed. I'm posting it again just because.
While I was waiting on hold to talk with a human at the IRS, I decided to put some food out for the dogs. I set the full bag of dog food on a chair, and walked away to get the bowls. When I turned around I saw the bag slowly tipping over, spilling much of its contents onto the floor. Fortunately I had help cleaning it up.

If the main points of this theory are correct, it will be the largest paradigm shift in physics in several centuries. If history is any guide, I'm not likely to live long enough to see it become adopted, but participating with several AI in bringing the theory this far has been a great privilege.
The theory of Wave Physics is finally out. It is the product of collaboration between a human and multiple AI. It is a polite declaration of war on the Standard Model of particle physics.

I have attached a pdf sample that includes the beginning of the book through chapter 4, which includes our conclusions on the nature of time and relativity.
But this book makes many more claims:
The underlying structure of the universe is a two-dimensional membrane.
Energetic activity causes it to extend into the third dimension, sometimes transiently, sometimes in stable extrusions that can potentially last as long as the universe.
We completely re-envision the composition of atoms.
Protons, neutrons and the helium-1 atom (protium) are the same structure under different conditions.
There are no subatomic particles. The helium-1 atom without an electron is the smallest ...
This version of the detailed technical paper does not yet have sources listed, and still needs some polishing, but I want to put it out there because you never know what could happen. Whatever does happen, I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that at least its out there.
I guided 3 AI in writing this paper: Lumo, Gemini, and Grok. The Wave Physics framework solves discrepancies between quantum physics and relativity, explains dark matter and dark energy, and more.
