String theory and M-theory in physics is really another piece of evidence of the nature of how the brain creates the mind:
Physics claims it is looking for the "mind of God" in the most basic theories - string theory or M theory - when they are actually looking at the mind of mind. Vibrating strings and many dimensions of space are the self-created components of difficult thought using the mind that uses brain cells seeking ideal frequencies ("vibrations") representing massive numbers of dimensions of subject matter.
Wouldn't it be possible to come up with a mathematical model that seems to solve all elementary components of physics that is really a mathematical model that emulates the way the brain represents all cognition?

Near Death Experiences - Part 4:
Basic units of consciousness (pleasure/pain) provide the first explanation of why the near death experience is so pleasant in such particular ways according to the Unified Theory of the Nervous System and Behavior with the explanation of the contents of consciousness as represented by cells included in the explanation.
What makes one person happier than another? Why is love more conducive to happiness than hate? Why do we generally prefer beauty to ugliness and order to chaos? Why does it feel so good to smile and laugh, and why do these shared experiences generally bring people closer together? Is the ego an illusion, and, if so, what implications does this have for human life? Is there life after death?

Part one of explanations behind near death experiences. Basic units of consciousness (pleasure/pain) explained as cells seeking pleasure with difference in pleasure being many disconnected cells reach pleasure frequency while supporting health while pain is many cells in concert together reach pleasure at the expense of the consensus of health and pleasure for the organism.

The scene, the item, the event, or the perception that is always there and constantly repeating becomes "invisible" in awareness. "Stress" needs to be identified and understood as a particular mathematical factor instead of the vague concept applied to many different subjects thereby becoming "invisible" as it is always there too.
