There are some theories explaining that memory is stored in Space, and that DNA acts as an “antenna” which can retrieve information via quantum entanglement.
Ok, well IF that’s the case (I’m not saying it is) then this finding wouldn’t be that surprising but rather expected behavior.
So when they modified “antenna” of that snail so that it can access information previously accessed only by the other snail.
Anyways that’s just about entertaining an idea, so don’t take it seriously, please.
