thousands of billions of years = trillions of years?

I wonder if our brain will eventually evolve in a different manner to comprehend the new information that sience bring to us, or we just need to degradate said information to our near (in biologically respect) caveman level?

I mean videos like these are those translation and while you say oh its cool i feel smarter, actually spoonfeeding is not the way of evolution.

Go out there learn some shit and realize develop evolve, thanks.

Like these videos but the voices used makes it very boring!. We don't care about "professional presentation" make it interesting and captivating for people. Give us music, be melodramatic, do something catchy and stop boring people with your 1970's approach to science!!

Nope, 1 thousand billion = 1 trillion.

Guess what I learned psichology and finished it too since I learned to become a teacher so I can tell you for a fact that teachers need to educate themselfs to keep up, and thats usually the last thing that ever comes to theire minds.

hey, yet again i saw this theory in class so my teacher could've been wrong

[ThanksIfYourReadIt]

I double dip the bullshit theory, by saying that unused braincells gets detached from other braincells and gets disolved in the liquid. If we would not use parts then they would simply gone.

I think you should carefully read your books beacuse when they say use only 10% they might include that is only the cognitive part wich we are aware and can manipulate.

[9rmetal]

its not bullshit man, there's even articles about it besides i'd learned that on social pyschology class

[ThanksIfYourReadIt]

Thats bullshit. If you would think thats true, then the brain wouldn't had needed to grow just to learn how to walk.

And when you think yes you only use the think part of your brain. I don't know about you, but when I am thinking what to eat I wouldn't want to take away "process resource" from parts of my brain that controls digestion or recive impulses if your hungry, thirsty, AND ESPECIALLY I WOULD LIKE MY BRAIN TO KEEP BEETING MYHEARTH THANKS!

[9rmetal]

when we use 100% of our brain, we only use 10%

[MaryDemolitionLover]

nope thousands of billions means thousands of billions.. one billion billion however would be trillion
