The above diagram depicts ratings of how measurable each of the given physics concepts are by six Carnegie Mellon physics faculty members, plotted against a score calculated using a formula based on brain activation patterns in the brains of 10 other physics faculty members. We see that more measurable concepts, such as torque, acceleration, and frequency seem to activate the brain in the same ways, whereas less measurable concepts such as dark matter, multiverse, and cosmology also seem to trigger the same brain activation patterns.
