#622903 — Why do people sleep?

Here is an example of the typical books Scientists write.

Scientists write entire books on a subject and at the end they have no
answers.



Why do people sleep? And other unanswered questions

"Despite all the progress of the past 50 years, scientists are still
unsure what sleep is for."
is still a mystery researchers are trying to solve...


Why do they even bother to write books they know nothing about? Cause
they know...nothing.


A Universe From Nothing.


at least that title sez they know nothing...

Starmaker, now please ask the question the other way around: What animal does not sleep?  I think quite a few go into torpor or hibernation or estivation.  But I classify these states as a sort of sleep.  Why would evolution produce animals that are utterly unaware and incapable of sensing the dangers around them for one third of their lives?  

Sharks are said not to sleep.  Do insects sleep?  And speaking of insects, does Dono ever sleep?

Somebody will make a 'joke' about a Big Bang and all of a sudden Books, College courses, Movies are made of it before
anyone ever bother to find out if a Big Bang ever happened.

Paralell Universe? Another explosion of books, media, etc.

Where are the underground ocean Movies on Mars? I like to see what Mars fishes look like! Are they red?


Life on other planets? SETI? Poor girl spent 50 years hearing ...Nothing.


Does Intelligent Life exist on Earth? has anybody bothered to look? 


yous spent too much time dreaming in your sleep.


Why do people sleep? Oh, they wrote a book about it...and they still don't know.


So, his wife ask him, "Why do people sleep?"

He sez, "I don't know."

She sez, "Why did you write a book about it if you yourself don't know?"

He sez, "BECAUSE I NEED THE FUCKING MONEY!!!!"


She sez, "Well, I don't have time for this, I gotta go shopping, RETARD!"
