Let me confide in you that I wouldn’t get out of bed either if I believed this story. But I just don’t believe it. I reckon it’s mostly bullshit, the nonsense of click-bait journalists and bloggers desperate to get the hits necessary to generate a bit of attention or income.

Your brain does not process information, retrieve knowledge or store memories. In short: your brain is not a computer.
A great new website that contains well-organised summaries of key ideas in alternative paradigm thinking.
So, we can indeed say “May the Force be with you!” as we go about living our lives. Yet to some degree it is a matter of grace as to how this plays out.
Recent findings bring to question the entire edifice of modern science research
