Anthropomorphism

I tell the LSU Professor sharply that crystals can't remember, that that is a human characteristic. Or more specifically called "anthropomorphism."

He tells me that scientist use these words, instead of coming up with new ones to better fit.

Then, I countered myself when I realized that all memories are--just a cascade of chemical reactions, mysteriously swirling around in our neuro-matter, lighting it up like the shock of a beam.

So, maybe atoms do remember, maybe they just make us believe that they remember.
