The human brain is the most complex unit on the planet and in the known universe.

True or false?
(if you answer false...what is the most complex??)

Consider:

*It is the only organ that has the ability to study itself

*Your brain is capable of having more ideas than the number of atoms in the known universe

*Information travels at different speeds ranging from 0.5 meters/sec to 120 meters/sec.  
Traveling at 120 meters/sec is the same as going 268 miles/hour

*The number of internal thought pathways that your brain is capable of producing is:one followed by 10.5 million kilometers of standard typewritten zero's!

Well that's not really fair to say, because when you say the "known universe-" known by WHOM? Oh, the brain! The brain is narcissistic so it perceives itself this way.

Known by us, human beings. Obviously.

OP: I voted yes, but I'm going to say yes and no. I'm sure it's very complex, but we may one day find something that is much more complex. For now though, I'm happy with assuming that it is. It's a fascinating thing.

Known by us, the human brain. Think of why this would be biased.

Ok...but what would be more advanced?  This is a good theoretical argument, but try adding some science to a scientific discussion.
