That one neuron connects to about 7,000 others. Your brain has 86 billion of them. Do the math and you get somewhere around 100 trillion connections inside your head. More connections than stars in 1,500 galaxies.
And each connection point is way more complicated than anyone expected. A Stanford lab found that every single connection contains about 1,000 tiny switches that can store memories and process information at the same time. So your brain is running roughly 100 quadrillion switches right now, while you read this sentence.
The wild part is the power bill. Your brain runs on 20 watts. That’s less energy than the light in your fridge. The world’s fastest supercomputer needs 20 million watts to do the same amount of raw calculation. A million times more power for the same output.
We’re still nowhere close to understanding how any of this works. In October 2024, a team of hundreds of scientists finished mapping every single connection in a fruit fly’s brain. Took six years and heavy AI help. That fly brain had 140,000 neurons. Yours has 86 billion. Google and Harvard also mapped a piece of human brain last year, a speck smaller than a grain of rice. That speck alone contained 150 million connections and took 1,400 terabytes to store. The lead scientist said mapping a full human brain at that detail would produce as much data as the entire world generates in a year.
A tiny worm had its 302 brain cells mapped back in 1986. Almost 40 years later, scientists still can’t fully explain how that worm’s brain keeps it alive. Your brain has 86 billion of those cells, each one wired to thousands of others, each wire packed with a thousand switches, all of it humming along on less power than a lightbulb.
@PTChimusoro@FabrizioRomano True. But there's also the fact that Man Utd, as they say is hated, adored, never ignored. The effect of hyper focus on the club and the players by both the media and social media can't be ignored. Both things can be true
Good morning Crime Watch. Please share as your page is very helpful. Anyone angaziwawo murume uyu here? He was involved in several break-ins at houses along Coronation Avenue. Last night, he was caught on CCTV in one of the houses on Coronation Avenue in Greendale, Harare.

@Shotbyogv Insecurity. Viewing a location like a trade secret only betrays a greater fear that you think the other photographer is better than you and will produce greater results
As a photographer, I'll say this, photography isn’t cheap — gear, studio, editing, time. It takes years to master.
Truth is, many are in Zim are in survival mode. When life is heavy, art can feel out of reach.
Still, value isn’t a scam.
Quality costs. Always has
And they you say photographers are rude, how can you ask for someones rate card so you can come make a thread on the timeline without even asking why their prices are like that… and then you block me so that I can not comment 😂😂😂 Miswai!!
@travolta2394 How did you handle that? Of course you need to fire the client. I have one who behaved worse than that and I fired her and took my work with me as well
@thaslickpastor@El_VencedorA If this tour is documentary worthy, think beyond today, film for the future. Use Netflix approved cameras, get proper audio, and treat every moment like a cinematic masterpiece. It’s an investment, but the right tools now mean global impact later. Future should shape your present
