WHY IS BRAIN SO UGLY?

-

 






Well, one cannot say that Brain is the most beautiful thing on Earth, but you need to know that it’s purpose is not to be beautiful but to work. Believe it or not, Human brains is one of the most intelligent brains ever known. This pinnacle has been achieved because of evolution. Animals usually use their teeth, claws, powerful bodies or their camouflaging capabilities to survive. But human are different. They totally rely on their sense of experience, knowledge and skills to survive. We could not have survived if it wasn’t of our powerful and big brains. But this has come with a problem. As brains started evolving, they got bigger and bigger. Brains are one of the most energy-hungry organs in our body. It uses 15% of the blood and 20% of the oxygen in your body. This is consumption level after brain is fully build. In toddlers, the brain consumes 60% of the energy available. This is because toddlers have to learn a lot in a short span of time like how to eat, how to talk, etc. So, we now have a idea how hungry is this organ. So, as the brain got bigger, the body was facing a tough time coping with the demand. Also, they wasn’t a lot of space for the brain to reside. This is were wrinkles of the brain come into play. The wrinkles of brain, or sulci, are actually folds in the cerebral cortex, which is the outermost region of the brain. They ultimately reduced the space taken by the brain and the energy consumption of the brain. Also, they help by keeping the nerve cells of our brain close together and speed the connections between them. So, that means the ‘ugliness’ of brain actually helps us to think, act and react faster. BTW, I don’t think that any organ is really that beautiful. Heart looks like a deflated football, lungs as two soggy ice packs and stomach as a meaty jute bag. But as they remain inside the body, no one really cares. And if you guys still think brains are ugly, you must know that human brains are, as I have said before, one of the most sophisticated things ever discovered. They are so complex that they may win the ‘Most complex stuffs in the universe’ contest. And if human brains still remind you of that rotten cauliflower, I give up.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EARTH LOSES ITS GRAVITY?

  What would happen if Earth loses its Gravity? Well, there can be a lot of possibilities which can happen. The possibilities which I think would happen are listed below:                                                                1. Living on Earth would be out of question. Ouch, didn’t see that coming, did you? But there is a good explanation for that. Everything that makes Earth special such as water, air, plants etc would hover with us as there is no force to anchor them. With the unbalanced atmosphere pressure, our blood vessels would burst into shreds, causing internal bleeding. At that time, don’t think you can go to the hospitals like a normal day. Doctors are also human beings, remember? Also, there are a lots of other factors if we, human beings, manage to escape that. Take this as another ‘problem’ that we ca...

PHOBIA SERIES - EXTRA INFO

  Hey guys! Before we find our next fear, I thought of making this blog to make you aware of few things. Let’s get going!   Why being fearless sometimes helps?   Well, this is a good question. Being fearless sometime helps as if we were too fearless, we won’t be very cautious of the dangers lurking besides us. Let’s say if a person is very fearless of dark and he is walking into a dark cave, he won’t be cautious about his surroundings. If there was a big hole front of him, the person would casually walk into the hole and fall to death. If you were fearful of dark, you would be very cautious and would react to the tiniest of sounds. This would help the fearful to survive and fearless to die.   2. Why we are afraid of few things from birth?   Well, this is a very important question. For this answer, we need to go to thousands of years ago, where humans were hunter-gatherers. At that time, we need to know that our ancestors lived in deep jungles, where they encount...

RUBIK'S CUBE. TRICKS TO SOLVE IT FASTER.

-

  Rubik’s cube is one of the most famous puzzles in which people try competing each other for whom would solve the Rubik’s Cube faster. The world record of solving Rubik’s Cube fastest is currently held by Yusheng Du, who solved the 3 X 3 Rubik’s cube in just 3.47 seconds. Here are my few tips for anyone who wants to solve the Rubik’s Cube faster than he/she normally would.  1. Learn the steps using Algorithms. Instead of learning the sequence of moves, most of the cubers try to learn the moves by a sequence of letters called algorithms. An Algorithm, in terms of Rubik’s Cube, is an operation on the puzzle which reorients its pieces in a certain way. To describe operations on the Rubik's Cube we use the notation: we mark every face of the puzzle with a letter. Here are those symbols and their meanings: • F (Front): the side currently facing the solver • B (Back): the side opposite the front • U (Up...
