After telling us about COBE in this week’s colloquium (Entitled “Nobel Prizes 2006: Who, What and Why!” - it also had a chemist/mo-biologist and developmental biologist telling us about the Chemistry and Medicine/Physiology prizes - I shall blog about it a little, later on) … [...] [...] She’s one of those people who works closely on (among other things) the data from those satellites, balloons, telescopes and other instruments that you hear about that gather detailed information that tells us about the cosmological parameters of our universe.

This comment is attempt to demonstrate how over 500 million years of evolution [natural selection?] may use string theory [or loop] topologies. This comment addresses cellular cooperation within an organism with respect to competition between organisms for 'Auditory Space'. Consider an article from a special edition of Scientific American 'Secrets of the Senses' 12 DEC 2006 by Masakazu Konishi [CIT] "Listening with two ears" with page 30 'Coordinates of Sound' diagrams. From my perspective this 'Auditory Space' may be a stereoscopic dual coordinate topology possibly employing a vector operator algebra similar to that of Borcherds for a 3D-space with string and time dimensions. In this example, the string dimension may be the sound energy dimension referred to as intensity by the author. Intensity may be equivalent to the amplitude of the energy string vibration or frequency. The author does discuss possible neural algorithms. A CIT press release discusses [without diagrams] this work of Konishi and Eric Knudsen awarded the Peter Gruber Foundation Neuroscience Prize in JUL 2005. http://pr.caltech.edu/media/Press_Releases/PR12719.html This comment attempts to explore the possible relationships among mathematics, physics, chemistry and medicine through nueroscience.
