I’ve got a new article up at Key 23… I’ve had this idea for years, but I’ve never published it. I’ve always thought it seemed rather obvious, but having never come across anything that really spelled it all out, I thought I’d publish this.

What follows is not a scientific document, my background in science is mediocre at best. I�m simply trying to organize my own ideas about one possible explanation of magical phenomena, and share the ideas with curious parties.

It goes a little something like this: memes are actual particles with physical properties, similar to Stephen Hawking�s descriptions of gravitons and photos (which is apparently not very accurate which Hawking admits himself, but do nicely for our purposes). They act like both particles and waves, and are undetectable by any current scientific instrumentation. However, some part of the human brain can tune into the information contained in these particles or waves. I suspect the pineal gland acts as a meme antennae and translates broadcasts and transmissions to and from the rest of the brain using the neurotransmitter Dimethyltryptamine (DMT).
