On Valentine's Day 2001, writer Jaime Lowe was all set to go on MTV to debate Al Gore, George Bush and Fidel Castro … until her new friend Mike suspected something might be amiss. Jaime tells us what happened, and how she learned the hard way that one of the simplest atoms borne from the Big Bang holds the key to her brain—and maybe also yours.
