SINCE high school that Columbus was not the first one to north america, etc etc etc. science is all about following up learning with further learning.

and i didn't learn about the chemistry of thoughts, as you say. but i have since learned that not all i was taught in school was correct. much of my more recent experience shows me there is much people know nothing about and i had to find out for myself.

like, what we call 'coincidence' in a person's life may not seem like much, until you have a collection of them happening all the time all over the world. just like an atom isn't much by itself, til you add another and another and have a human or whatever else. depends on how much or how little i want to narrow my focus on what is possible.
