Child's Brain Capacity

[momnidhi]

Hi Domanmom,

Thanks for that calculation. Its amazing! 30,000 years to fill up just a trillion out of 125.

In the science text books I learnt that whatever human (or any animal) doesnt use, will disappear with generations. There must be some use of these 125 trillion facts capacity given to human brain. Dont you think?

Not too old fact, people used to remember entire epic (Koran, Mahabharat) by heart.

sounds like myth, but there are sayings that through medition you can know what you dont see and feel physically.

I think there must be some method to fill up close to 125 trillion with facts within human life.

Excellent posts/discussion - the public school system is a scare. 

I highly recommend the book "Dumbing Us Down" by John Taylor Gatto as well as "Underground History of American Education" by the same author.  Gatto is a public elementary school teacher who has been 'Teacher of the Year' in NYC - he expertly points out the serious problems (understatement) in our public school system by illustration and experience.
