If the memories aren't in the brain, then what physical causes enable a positive or negative recognition of the photo of a person's face? It seems to me that this would require some extra-physical interaction beyond all known physical laws. If this excess storage area could be tapped, could we build computers of infinite memory and storage capacity by storing these bits into the ether and overcome the information/volume limits of quantum mechanics and the holographic principle?
