[WP] You are a wendigo, a cannibal spirit monster of the forest. You scheme to catch unsuspecting hikers and campers, to eat them.

Forgetting something but remembering it later, forgetting something and knowing you did but unable to recall what, and just plain forgetting something entirely: are these neurologically all the same or are there different mechanisms in the brain by which we forget?	1	askscience
If a powerful gamma ray burst happened close enough to Earth that it could destroy all life on Earth, would the "dark side" of Earth, the side opposite the burst, survive the ordeal?	1	askscience
If I forget something, then remember it later, what is happening neurologically? Did I truly forget the original thought and a new thought had the feeling of "remembering" attached to it somehow? Or is something forgotten revive-able, and therefore is anything ever truly forgotten?	1	askscience
