The Brain 125
Tubulin
where the light comes from since tubulin is housed deep within the neurons inside our brains and shielded from light by our skull. It turns out that the mitochondria which powers our bodies emit photons of UV light as a waste product of their metabolism. The speculation is tubulin harvests this waste energy.
Before we argue for this mechanism any further we still need to establish that a non-computational mechanism is needed to allow human thought. In the next chapters, we will look at the nature of knowledge and, in particular, mathematical creativity and the Wiles Paradox.
