Why do we retain memories if all of our cells replace themselves after a small amount of years?
In: Biology
The memories aren’t stored in your cells, they’re stored in the ARRANGEMENT of your cells.
It’s like, imagine a light switch that’s turned to the “on” position, but like sitting on a counter. Imagine replacing every piece of it one by one, the cover, the backing wiring, the cover for the switch, etc, with a copy of the exact same part in the exact same position.
After you were done, you’d have a totally different light switch, every part would be different… But it would still be switched on.
