Alternative Universe
I was watching one of my favorite channels last week and they were talking about the Universe, it's origins, etc. They actually did a nice job of explaining for my simpleton mind about additional dimensions, branes, and the possibility of unlimited parallel universes in which all likely choices by all of consciousness exist.
Today I watched an aspirin commercial, Bayer, most likely, and a lady says she was walking along having a heart attack and ingested an aspirin she had in her purse. Viola! Her doctor said it saved her life! What a testimonial. Really!
In the alternate universe I am living in Tylenol is recommended by doctors and hospitals everywhere. I don't really know why, because it is not as safe as aspirin, as cheap as aspirin, and it isn't really good for your liver. That aside, however, have you looked at the benefits of aspirin lately?
I see it reduces risk of and increases chance of survival from colon cancer, reduces risk of breast cancer by 20%, helps prevent and mitigates heart attacks and some strokes, and I think some other stuff. This raises two questions.
1) What is happening in the alternate universe where doctors and hospitals recommend aspirin to mortality rates?
2) Why do doctors and hospitals recommend Tylenol? Do they need the additional business from heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and what not?
So many universes and so little time to investigate them.
