One minute, you’re thinking about your homework. The next minute, you’re thinking about your plans for the weekend. Is it possible for us to slow our thoughts down or even stop them? It depends on your understanding of “thinking”, according to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, US. We go through each day in one of two states (状态)—we either realize that we’re thinking or we don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die. “The brain never actually stops thinking.... Most thoughts are actually in the background without us noticing them and there’s not really a way to turn these things off,” Halassa said. Human brains can unconsciously process (无意识地处理) about 11 million pieces of information per second (每秒), according to Forbes. You can compare this to how a computer works. Even when you aren’t using your computer while it’s turned on, it is still doing things “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, is “thinking” without stopping, even if you’re not consciously using it. Some researchers have called this “thought-chatter”. It describes the random (胡乱的) thoughts that pop in and out of our minds at different times during the day. Some thought-chatter can be fun, such as daydreaming. Albert Einstein came up with his famous theory of relativity (相对论) while daydreaming at work. But too much thought-chatter can make us feel too worried. Meditation (冥想) can help us clean up some of this thought-chatter. 41．Do we ever stop thinking all day long?
