Quantum Brain Matrix
Resonators One of my favorite ideas from science is the idea or resonance. A common way to apply the resonance principle is to a wine glass. If you run your fingers along the rim, the vibrations of your finger along the rim will resonate with the natural frequency of the class. Another […]

Parasitic Brain Demons
