The foundation of science is conjecture.
Everything begins with a problem.
Never underestimate the advancement of technology.
A thousand years from today commonplace technology will be unimaginably astounding.
With science anything is possible. We just have to understand and control the process.
Technology-wise, we have only just taken our first baby steps.
The more we learn, the more we need to learn.
The scary thing about progress is, when it happens, it means that something we once believed in (sometimes with every fiber of our being) is wrong.
The key to progress is trial and error. We can't simply "say" something won't work. We must "show" that it won't work. Only then can the design be improved upon.
Genius is unique.
Being a genius is like being a prophet. You are the first to become aware of something of profound significance, but usually no one believes in your vision, and so you are helpless and your gift goes to waste.
Being smart is knowing what is already known. True intelligence is abstract thought.
Intelligence is slow to anger.
Is there a hereditary chemical produced in the brain that determines inherent intelligence?
The structure of our brain is hereditary, we inherit it from the entirety of our ancestry. But is it possible to inherit what is in the brain as well, knowledge or talent? Perhaps this would explain the phenomena of child prodigy, past- life regression, and instinct.
Since the nervous system works via electrical impulses, perhaps in some cases of brain and nerve damage the brain and nerves could be treated with a conductive, non-degenerative substance (perhaps laced with stem cells) which would allow the electrical impulses to connect more efficiently.
It is inevitable that science and medicine will one day perfect the brain transplant, which may, in effect, provide a certain immortality for the personality of the brain. A cure for death. The simplest, and perhaps best, method for accomplishing this would be to transplant only the cerebrum, thickly coated with stem cells, while leaving the cerebellum intact.
