Where and how does it happen ?
arXiv:physics/0505041
Abstract
It has for ages been a rather constant feature of thinking in science to take it for granted that the respective thinking happens in realms which are totally outside and independent of all the other phenomena that constitute the objects of such thinking. The imposition of this divide on two levels may conflict with basic assumptions of Newtonian and Einsteinian mechanics, as well as with those in Quantum Mechanics. It also raises the question whether the realms in which thinking happens have no any other connection with the realms science deals with, except to host and allow scientific thinking.
