For decades, the theory of memory dominated that all human experiences are engraved on the golden leaf; it was these blades that were torn apart by the force of the explosion and were the cause of small flakes found after the disaster.
Anatomists collect pieces of golden leaf - so thin that light falls out of the greenery - and have been trying for years to reconstruct the original leaves in the hope of deciphering characters recording the last experiences of the deceased.
He later comes up with a hypothesis called the inscription hypothesis, stating that human memory is recorded as writing in the brain. Exhalation by Ted Chiang is a short story which is filled with science, thus making it a science based short story.
