So they were able to measure this and then after that they found, you know, there was still this increase in brain entropy, but those that had kind of the highest brain entropy during this time actually found, you know, a month later had a, you know, a better well-being, was feeling good, having kind of new life insights.

Yeah, I mean, this is a very, very early study in trying to measure that, right?

What are these long-term impacts?

And they actually found that there are possible anatomical changes to your brain.

Now, it's not that you're completely rewired and that's not what the study is saying at all, but there are kind of small, subtle changes in the white matter pathways of your brain.

So thinking of a kind of, you know, shaking things up a little bit to kind of help with these pathways that might be in a negative way repetitive.

Well, yeah, I guess this is what we're trying to find.

And they found for this study with healthy participants in a controlled environment, no.

Yeah, absolutely.

So imagine standing on a planet with two suns in the sky, right?

So like Tatooine in Star Wars, if you're a Star Wars fan, there's actually a study that was released this week in May the 4th, Star Wars Day, very apt, which tried to find or which showed evidence actually of 27 planets or circumbinary planets orbiting eclipsing binary stars.

So this is two stars and a planet orbiting it.

Now, what's unique here is that they detected these planets in a very different way.

They detected them with tiny gravitational fingerprints that they leave on these stars.

We're living in a world now where we have thousands of exoplanets.

In the mid-90s, we had our nine planets in our solar system.

And typically, how we look at these exoplanets is we look at a star and we see these planets transiting that star and we see a dip of light.

That's very hard when you have two stars and really have to get the angles correct.

Well, this is what we're saying.

That's not true.
