An interesting fact about dolphins, they have to consciously think about breathing. With that said; how can a dolphin sleep without drowning? Answer: They sleep half of their brain at a time.  When they do sleep one hemisphere the eye that the hemisphere controls closes while the other is wide open. So just think how productive a dolphin could be if we could transplant their brain to a robotic body or human body, effectively they don't sleep. one hemisphere could be working while the other is asleep!  :2funny: Here's an article that explains it.

If man has enough energy to continually do work without sleeping,  I reckon god would step in to knock him out.

Being a top inventor is 70% energy 30%intelligence, I think,  energy makes it all happen.

Just look at the comparison of the dolphin brain to a human brain:



The cerebellum is massive. A pilot whale's neocortex has approximately 37.2 × 10^9 neurons almost twice what humans have.

Here's an article stating that human brains are not more efficient than any other mammalian brain.

Men have bigger brains than women on average,  does that mean they are smarter?

Bigger things usually come packed with a bigger brain and bigger doodle,  because otherwise it would be disproportionate.   My vote is its purely aesthetic and has no real featural advantage.

I predict::
Nature has very sneaky ways of making things smarter,  and the size of the brain becomes a superfluous semantic once u know how intelligence can work really well.
