Forgetful Science

Its been found out that a normal human being remembers only 95% of events from the last day. This amounts to 5% of forgetfulness.

Imagine this:
If you are a normal human being and if you have something(someone) completely occupying your mind today.
How long it takes for you to forget completely.
1st day 95%
2nd day 95% . 95%
3rd day 95% . 95% . 95%
...
and so on.

amounts to ~ 280 days for complete erasure. whoever said: its tough to forget your past!

-- added 15th Feb --
so lets ask ourselves. was meeting them a waste of 280 days?

The Anatomy of Hope By Nancy S. Green, establishes the concepts of 'experience synthesis' and 'experience decay'.
The transition, from the time when an experience is introduced to the point in time when it decays completely, helps us model our persona and provides a key ingredient to our power of making choices.

And maybe someday we will find , that it wasn’t really
a Wasted time
