    I feel the same way. I’ve always assumed it’s because scientific information doesn’t change with time unless it was wrong to begin with. It somehow always ends up sticking to already existing information very well and getting the label “permanent”.

    Where are my keys? What did I have for dinner this week? Those have the “ethereal” label on it so it’s get thrown out at the first opportunity.

        Not as good as I would have expected. I remember my in-laws car license plate but not their birthdays. It might be because I use a calendar to track those.
