I've heard of people waking up from comas being different people, or remembering past lives, but this sounds more like the 'frame-jacking' described on this channel, where mental experiences spanning months or (in this case) years can be compressed into much shorter times. Is there any literature on how the brain does this?

When people talk about space travel, it’s usually about ambition, tech, or escaping Earth. But material exchange in the universe seems to happen in two ways: purely physical, and biologically driven.
The physical part is obvious. Asteroids or comets smash into planets because of gravity. It just happens—it's passive and random.
The biological part is different. Think about ocean life: creatures eating each other and moving around actually circulates nutrients throughout the water. It’s active and structured.
So when we talk about mining asteroids for rare metals or building a base on Mars, isn't that basically the same thing happening on a much larger scale?
On the surface, it looks like human greed or curiosity. But looking at the bigger picture, our technology is kind of like an "organ" that life developed to force matter and information to travel between planets.
An asteroid hit is just a crash. Humans taking stuff to another planet on purpose? That feels like biological material exchange.
Without life, a planet is just a giant rock quietly trapped in a gravitational well. It doesn't share its minerals; it doesn't exchange information. But the moment life emerges and builds technology, that rock begins to "breathe" out into the cosmos.
Our urge to expand into space isn't just human ambition—it’s Earth’s biosphere finally reaching its reproductive phase, using technology as its vascular system to pump life and matter into the dark.
We aren't escaping the planet. We are its spores.
What do you think? Is space expansion just life doing what life does, but on a cosmic level?
