A Thought….. On Thoughts

Just the other day, I was thinking abt the very nature of our thoughts.  I have a few queries, and perhaps some of you may enlighten me about it.

  • What exactly are thoughts ?
  • Do they have a mass ?
  • If two brains are taken, both of equal physical dimensions (such as mass, size, structure, etc ) , but one among them that of a genius (like Einstein) , and other one that of a ignorant fool, then based on knowledge in them, will there be a difference in their weights ?
  • Or are thoughts just a stream of energy ? But then, what happens to this energy when we "forget" something ?
  • The reason I am thinking of this is, if thoughts have mass, doesn't it mean that it should be possible for them to be 'captured' and 'stored' and 'transferred' like any physical object?  

I know this sounds a bit fuzzy , hope you get the gist of what I mean to say .
