I was never a fan of physics in school. I’d even find ways to get out of lessons. As a result, I know almost nothing about physics.

Yet in an applied sense, I’m an expert in physics and have been since I was very young.

Here’s an example, I learned very early that if you let go of an object, it falls, not floats. My first-ever balloon was a revelation because it broke this rule.

I learned too that if you put something on a slopey surface, it would slide down and fall on the floor.

I could go on all day with examples of my early expertise in applied physics. I was in a brand new world. This world had laws of physics – and by goodness, I was learning them!

Of course, I was no boy genius on this. It is what we all did.

There is also the Interpersonal Law of Physics. This is where we figure out the way the world works interpersonally.

Does Mum recoil when I cry or soothe me?
If I dance and make a noise, am I approved of or admonished?
Who around here explodes with fury? And how do I try to make sure that doesn’t happen?

We don’t just learn how the world works. We learn how the interpersonal world works too. We figure out what brings us the good stuff and what delivers unsafety. Then we abide by this learning to keep us safe. It becomes second nature to us.

To put it another way – it becomes implicit learning.

I often wish neuroscientists had named the brain mechanism Implicit Memory Reconsolidation. Implicit memory is the memory system it updates. What is dangerous here? How can we best navigate it? How must my nervous system respond to best keep me safe?

These are the interpersonal laws of physics. We figure them out quickly and we abide by them. As implicit learning, we may not even be fully aware as they are followed on autopilot.

Memory reconsolidation work brings this implicit learning into explicit awareness – and then triggers the one brain mechanism capable of updating it.

If you want me to show you how reply with the word PHYSICS.
