Study finds there are too many studies!

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – This could be the most important new study ever: a study studying studies which has found there are too many studies!

Researchers concluded that scholars and scientists are actually starting to miss or forget important, influential findings because they just can’t read everything and they are being constantly overloaded with new information.

Of course they used a complicated mathematical formula, a ton of graphs and terms like “ultradiffusion” and “attention decay,” but being the media, we like to oversimplify… And use pop culture references.

So, let’s say a scientist’s brain can absorb information equivalent to one regular Twinkie.

You could compare the amount of studies bombarding the world’s top minds to the hypothetical Ghostbusters Twinkie, as explained by fictional parapsychologist Egon Spengler.

“It would be a Twinkie 35 feet long and weighing approximately 600 pounds.”

The conclusion?

“That’s a big Twinkie!”

Yes. Yes it is. And we’re getting indigestion.
