So I was thinking about how I read an article one time where it said that we, as human beings, only use 10% of our brain. I wonder why that is. What is the other 90% for? Will it ever be used some day? Are there parts of that 90% that controls other parts of our body that we aren't aware of? Is it all just storage space? Would we be able to understand the environment around us? What would it be like to use 11% of our brain? Would life be drastically different? Is 10% an average or an upper limit? How do they measure this stuff?
The brain is pretty cool. There are billions upon billions of neural networks that all work in conjunction to make us work. The neat part is, they all work off of electrical and chemical impulses. I wonder if we could short-circuit. Since our bodies are made up of 67% water, how is it that we don't short-circuit? 2/3 of our body is water and yet we have electrical impulses racing through our body's neural networks and we never short-circuit. Amazing. More questions than answers.
I wonder...
Whats more amazing or should I say more frustrating to me is that we are constantly losing our brain cells, they just die. But a FAT cell will live forever.
