rub the two blocks

 

 

The first one illustrates string theory—showing the idea that all matter is composed from the same two basic types of particles, bosons & fermions. They are often referred to as "god particles". Bosons are forces and fermions are particles that make up matter. When the two blocks collide, the sand paper rubs the opposite block expelling material.

 

 

make sound

 

 

The second illustrates sound. Sound is physical, similarly to memory, in that we can't see it, but it's matter physically exists in space. A memory is created through protein synthesis.

 

 

make sense

 

 

Smell can evoke the strongest memories. The initial association of a smell with an experience will somehow leave a unique and lasting impression in the brain. The senses work as a trigger for the brain.
