Big Brain Theory

Big Brain Theory

Interesting post over at the Times, though often painfully dumbed down:

If true, it would mean that you yourself reading this article are more likely to be some momentary fluctuation in a field of matter and energy out in space than a person with a real past born through billions of years of evolution in an orderly star-spangled cosmos. Your memories and the world you think you see around you are illusions.

I suggest reading the entire three-page article. There’s no good paragraph that summarizes the article.
