Are the thought processes of a human being faster than light?
I’d have thought it would be slower, for 2 reasons. 1) The brain uses both electrical and chemical impulses – for the chemical transmitter, molecules of whatever chemical must physically pass from one neuron to another – no way is this faster than light! 2) The brain uses both electrical and chemical impulses (hmm, deja vu there) and electricity moves at a maximum of one seventh the speed of light – therefore and electrical charge jumping across a synapse would still, definitely be slower than light. Your point about millions of connections being used to imagine something doesn’t (in my opinion) make any difference – if the brain used light for neurons to communicate it’d still require millions of connections for an idea to form, but the connections would be faster.
