Dang! This is really good! Kudos to whomever wrote the explanation so soon.

In other "news" (or should that be "olds"?), we are not using 100% of our muscle power at once either. Because for most muscles, there are muscles for pulling against them in the other direction, and using both at once usually doesn't make any sense. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 20:21, 9 June 2023 (UTC) | In other "news" (or should that be "olds"?), we are not using 100% of our muscle power at once either.

::Simulations are pretty clear about this: most of the inhibitory connections in the brain are effectively used to keep the excitatory connections at a state of maximum sensitivity to input signals. (Without them, you'd have a runaway cascade; a seizure.) No, it's obvious that not everything is used at once because we're not actively remembering everything at once; there must be ''something'' quiescent most of the time. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.34.21|162.158.34.21]] 14:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC) | ::Simulations are pretty clear about this: most of the inhibitory connections in the brain are effectively used to keep the excitatory connections at a state of maximum sensitivity to input signals.

::: Not so, it could be the case that information is constantly moving throughout the brain and our perception of thought is when those neurons pause or rest or else when it moves even faster. We know that this is not how the brain functions, it's just a counterexample to the above comment.

Also, how does dark matter produce buoyancy if it doesn't interact with water?
