Gravity... of the mind.

Serious, heavy, same meaning. So, no Doc "there is no fricking 'J' in gigawatts' Brown, quit the idiocy. Today and yesterday, might as well be the same thing, I went college hunting/visiting/suffering whichever. And I realized that Spring Break is already half over, I still have most of my homework to do, a lake of movies to watch, a fricking ocean of music to listen to, a permit to get, weights to lift, people to make happy, and I'm going to be gagged and dragged by my family across three states in an unknown amount of time. It's about here that I discovered exactly why everyone is always rushing, time is of the essence, we have little time to be relaxing at all. It was also about here that a little thought popped into my head. Mind you, I'm no novice, let alone an expert, on this subject, but I have full faith that science and the human race will be able to find a way to accomplish this. At least one field of scientific study should be solely devoted to learning the strings behind metabolism and how we could slow it down with the assistance of medicine or by sheer willpower alone. At the moment, we can slow down our metabolism by 10% at most, and that is while sleeping. However, there are those who can slow down their metabolism by over 50%, and that is by will alone. So, if we could find the strings behind the process, our time on Earth could be effectively doubled, the need for food could be reduced, meaning that less food would need to be produced, meaning that we could spend more time elsewhere, fighting pollution, furthering technology, creating world peace, and more time to rest and think.
