I do not believe this topic is worthy of being killed off so quickly.
There maybe one way of comparing the speed of thought with that of light(?).
Perhaps we have currently been looking at the speed in which a thought is either created, or as I would prefer to say, observed (realised).
Now, what if we look at the speed of thought in a slightly different (more obscure perhaps?) manner; in that if it were possible for me to transmit my thoughts (to another party), how fast would they travel?
This could then be compared to the speed of a single photon across the same distance.
I believe I could be able to put something together on this, but it may have to wait until Friday or Saturday this week (depending on my golf schedule!); so don't hold your breath, but watch this space!!
