Feb 23 2021. ENGLISH: For Sir Roger Penrose and Sir John Eccles (Nobel Laureates in scientific disciplines) the Universe can be divided into three worlds: 1. The Physical World. 2. The World of the Mind. 3. The World of objective knowledge, of mathematics, where the laws of the universe are according to "the mind of God" (Einstein). Many scientists do not share this way of thinking. They reduce the three worlds to the first, the physical world. But this reductionism has its inconsistencies. Additionally, the relationship between the body and the mind or consciousness is not clear to other scientists. For Eccles this relationship resided in the contact between neurons, the synapse. Eccles believed that the synapse was electric. Although his point of view has been controversial, there are interesting elements that can be rescued. We believe that the neuroelectric connection between the brain and the mind is one of the deepest and one of the most interesting to find our own nature. 
ESPAÑOL: Para Roger Penrose and Eccles (Premios Nobel en disciplinas cientificas) el Universo puede dividirse en tres mundos: 1. El Mundo Fisico. 2. El Mundo de la Mente. 3. El Mundo del conocimiento objetivo, de las matematico, donde estan las leyes del universo segun "la mente de Dios" (Einstein).  Muchos cientificos no comparten esta forma de pensar. Ellos reducen los tres mundos al primero, el mundo fisico.  Pero este reduccionismo tiene sus inconsistencias. Adicionalmente, la relacion entre el cuerpo y la mente o la consciencia no es clara para otros cientificos. Para Eccles esta relacion residia en el contacto entre las neuronas, la sinapsis. Eccles creyo que la sinapsis era electrica. A pesar de que su punto de vista ha sido controversial, hay elementos interesantes que pueden ser rescatados.  Nosotros creemos que la conexion neuroelectrica entre el cerebro y la mente es una de las mas profundas y una de las mas interesantes para encontrar nuestra propia naturaleza.
