Why Thoughts Do Not Travel at the Speed of Light: Brain Wiring, Myelin, and Signal Velocity
Why do thoughts travel at 270 mph rather than the speed of light? The biological parallels between optic fiber and nerve axons, the vital role of myelin insulation, and evidence-based ways to optimize neural speed.
- → Thoughts move at 270 mph, not the speed of light: Nerve signals do not rely on free electrons in metal, but on the physical movement of ions across cellular membranes (Rushton, 1951).
- → The myelin sheath is a biological fiber optic jacket: Composed of lipids and proteins, this specialized insulation prevents charge leakage and accelerates conduction velocity by up to 100-fold (Ford et al., 2015).
