Time Travel

 

Neuroscientists Say

Our memories are never accurate because we create our lives from overly plentiful data that must be filtered by our brain as it decides what we saw or felt or tasted, even memories of those we love are closer to creative non fiction
than truth.  It makes me wonder
how in the hell humanity has progressed
at all.

We tend to think that time is moving forward, but is it really?  The true time machine is the human mind which allows us to encounter any time period in human history we can discover.  Because there is so much incoming information the human brain allows us to see what it expects us to see.  So if  your neurons have been habituated during walks in the woods, when you walk in the woods your brain determines what you see based on what you have seen.

Which leads me back to time travel.  If you immerse yourself in the 1890s, according to brain studies, I would think you should expect to see the 1890s. What do you think?
