When referencing "the number of M&Ms required to power a human brain", in scientific terms, should one use biology as a base? Or perhaps chemistry? Physics?
Bio-chemistry I think. Though it will vary from person to person, since you have to consider caloric intake for the brain to get proper amount of energy from each M&M and multiply that by the amount needed to give off the amount of energy required to power a brain.
True. However, the process to breakdown the M&M and extract the calories is one part and could bio-chem process or physics depending on the process used. Then you have the transmittal and absorption....
Well I took one route, but you can use physics. So how many M&Ms does it take to produce about 100 W for the whole process so the brain gets 20 W? https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2001/JacquelineLing.shtml
