Does the imagination mature at the same speed as the mind?

Answer 1

Yes. The human brain is magic. In the human brain, one neuron is attached to many other neurons, ranging from a few hundred to about 2,000,000 neurons. To round up take the figure 1,000,000. So now you multiply 1,000,000*1,000,000*1,000,000, and do so a hundred billion times. Now try to write this figure, without the help of logarithm, by your super computer and see what comes in hand. The nerve impulses passes through the same nerve fibers via various length of branches of nerve connecting and reconnecting to each other. It means same nerve impulse may travel through the same nerve at at different time. So if you see, hear or smell, that impulse may pass through almost all neurons. And large number of imputes are processed at a same time in same tab, as against computer. (There are hundred billion neurons in brain.) Through them electric current flows and it is so complicated that, how it flows, 'GOD' alone knows. Second thing, that number of times it flows in your lifetime

would require another calculation. Through these extremely complicated movement of current that you get the intellectual functions like thinking, reasoning, memory and imagination. In addition you get the what you called emotional response. Like love, compassion, care, feeling of brotherhood, sacrifice, anger, hate-rate,

fear, insecurity, craving for air (try to stop breathing for 3 minutes and you know that 'you' are not breathing as you think, and 'Nature' is forcing you into it) water, food, sleep, sex, desired for being loved, selfishness etc.

When Google or Wikipedia

gives you information at finger tip. Then wild imagination becomes nano,

pico

or femto

part of it. It not called maturity. It is called knowledge of your ignorance. "I know one thing that I know nothing." -Socrates. Incidentally you are using silicon and germanium in your electronics and 'Nature' is has been using carbon. All of them have 4 electrons in there outer orbit. And your super computer does not think or imagine or have emotions !
