Cells, Microbes & Viruses / Total material replacement?
« on: 27/07/2007 22:40:44 »
I think I read somewhere long ago that people are a form of wave (not speaking in the quantum mechanics sense). The example was that you can remember stuff that happened to you when you were a kid, but no part of you remains from when you were that age, because all of your tissues have been replaced.
Is this really true? Obviously many tissues are replaced (skin, intestinal walls, blood), but are they all replaced? I find it hard to believe that my femur has totally different tissue than it used to have, for example.
Obvously it's likely that a molecule or two has stuck around, but I'm just speaking in the general sense.
