I am curious as to why you claim to be the "most intelligent life form on the planet?" Is it due to your medical condition? Assuming for the moment your statements have been truthful, I'm not seeing a correlation between your brain operating at 100% for even the most menial tasks and intelligence. To use the CPU analogy, operating at 100% would actually be less beneficial and probably even detrimental. That being said, once again assuming your statements are truthful, I would be curious as to what other tests the doctors have subjected you to? Did they test your noradrenaline, dopamine and serotonin levels? Based solely on your post I would guess that a condition that you described would probably be the result of the (about go go full nerd on you) vesicles at the end of the presynaptic neurons axon are malfunctioning in that they are completely uninhibited and are secreting neurotransmitters nonstop. The tests mentioned above should have been the very first thing your doctor checked.

My first post so go easy if I missed one of the rules but this is one topic that I've always found fascinating (though not my particular forte) so I had to jump in. The original poster titled the thread "Time travel is impossible if not impractical". As with most challenges in science I find that I enjoy playing the part of devils advocate so I will take the position that time travel may indeed be possible, strictly as a thought exercise. I will begin this fools errand by taking a different approach and tossing into the arena Gravitational Time Dilation. Without getting into the complex formulas and keeping this strictly as a rudimentary thought exercise, would it not be considered "time travel" if one were to leave the earth in 2016 and return in 2416 having only been gone a few hours? This could be achieved by leaving the current gravity well we all currently reside in and place oneself near a gravity well of much larger mass for a period of time. Upon return, the "traveler" may have only experienced hours where those near the smaller gravity well will have experienced decades or centuries. Could it then be said that the traveler traveled to the future? Now although negative-mass is strictly hypothetical if it were to be proven then that would lead one to conclude that there would have to be objects in the universe comprised of it and therefore the existence of negative gravity wells giving the traveler the ability to return to his/her point of origin in space/time.
