Default Re: What is Information?

I will check that out. I have read some books about Neuroscience, or that mentioned it, (no actual Neuroscience, tho', too tough on my little ol'brain). But my problem is by definition impossible for Neuroscience to answer on its own, without at least an attendant philosophy (a philosophy that exists only to say: “Neuroscience don’t need no stinking philosophy”…).

Here’s what I’m asking: How can atoms and particles become an understanding of themselves? Science’s answer right now is: “Dunno, but they do!” That seems to be easily as big a copout as “God sez so right thurr in the Bibble, that’s why!”

I'm not asking: how can a brain have arisen out of chance and evolution...that seems clear, if not entirely indisputable. I'm asking: how can Man actually understand the universe if he is a part of it? Either he doesn't really see or understand it, or he is something more than material.
