Jim Kakalios: Personally, I’d like to be able to catch my thought every now and then.  
Physicists trying to develop a quantum theory of gravity have found that they needed to dust off the "many worlds interpretation" and apply it to their theories in order to make them work out.  
There’s a limit to what the human body can do and how much it can achieve.
