wow have I been wrong for years now. Some teacher should be fired. I was told in school that most humans use 2 percent. And in a side bit of random trivia that I've heard, After Albert Einstien Died, his brain was wired to a power source and had electric currents run through it the see how much of his brain was in fact active. I have yet to validated this, but I hear the percentage was in the high 60's low 70's. Now thats impressive.
Impossible rubbish. An average human uses 10% of his mind or so, even Einstien could not have used more than 15%, it is inhuman... If a person ever uses 60% of his mind he is smart enough to know and prodict every science in every form the world has and has yet to have. Einstien's knowledge of Mathematics comes from a surge of Testosterone he experienced as a baby, this of course helped his logic IQ but may I be struck by lightning if even he used much more.
Basically, there aren't enough studies of the human brain to show how much we do use, but it is known no man alive or dead has ever used as much a quarter of its capabilities. It is assumed to be at 10% for the average person, minds like Newton and Einstien used more, clearly, but not that much.
I hope that helps.
I respect the fact that you seen to be a knowledgable person, but think of the time he lived in and think of the stuff he's written. the theory of reletivity, Papers on cosmology, the prediction of nuclear weaponry, the time travel theory... though I dont think that one would work. Since the theory says time curves, and to my knowledge, there has yet to be any proof.
I value any insite so I'll take what you've said and ponder it a little.
Oh, and the electrifying the brain thing, was actually to show how much of the brain was active. if you're right about this case in particular, than he may not have been using it all, but what I heard was that it was active.
