The Neuroscience Behind Increasing Your Intellect. I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better. ~Maya Angelou The great debate on intelligence is a long and complicated one and for centuries people have tried to discover how to increase their very own intellect. But now because of the great advances in neuroscience on intelligence, psychologists have discovered multiple ways to incur neurogenesis or the growing of one’s brain cells. The History of Neurogenesis Explained Not long ago, scientists and the mass opinion of growing new brain cells was that it simply does not happen. During the 1970s Michael Kaplan was conducting research on baby rats and how they grew brain cells. But that’s where Michael Kaplan’s got interesting — he found out that it’s not the mature brain cells replicating. So How Exactly Do We Increase Intellect? After Michael Kaplan published 19 scientific papers into his findings, scientists didn’t agree on the fact that neurogenesis occurs into the 1990s.
Practical Ways To Getting Smarter. Welcome to the Cassiopeia Project. Ancient Artifacts that Challenge Modern Archaeological Thinking. Mysterious iron pipes at the foot of Mount Baigong, located in the depths of the Qaidam Basin, Qinghai Province, has roused concern from related departments. What is astonishing is inside for there is a half-pipe about 40 centimeters in diameter tilting from the top to the inner end of the cave. Another pipe of the same diameter goes into the earth with only its top visible above the ground.
At the opening of the cave there are a dozen pipes at the diameter between 10 and 40 centimeters run into the mount straightly, showing high fixing technique. About 80 meters away from the caves is the shimmering Toson Lake, on whose beach 40 meters away, many iron pipes can be found scattered on sands and rocks. They run in the east-west direction with a diameter between 2 and 4.5 centimeters. More strange is that there are also some pipes in the lake, some reaching above water surface and some buried below, with similar shapes and thickness with those on the beach. Why the Universe is Flat I The Great Courses. Introduction to Social Influence, Persuasion, Compliance & Propaganda.
This portion of the Working Psychology website offers a brief introduction to a big topic: social influence, the modern, scientific study of persuasion, compliance, propaganda, "brainwashing," and the ethics that surround these issues. Although these topics aren't always simple (it is, after all, science), I've done my best to make this introduction interesting.
Since Aristotle recorded his principles of persuasion in Rhetoric, humans have attempted to define and refine the principles of successful influence. Persuasion has been studied as an art for most of human history. The comparatively young science of social influence, however, can trace its roots to the second world war, when a social psychologist named Carl Hovland was contracted by the U.S.
Armed Forces to bolster the morale of soldiers. President Roosevelt was concerned that Americans would lose the will to fight after winning victory in Europe. It was Hovland's job to motivate soldiers to continue fighting against Japan. The Brain Observatory. Sentient Developments: Ranking the most powerful forces in the Universe.
There are a large number of forces at work in the Universe, some more powerful than others -- and I'm not talking about the four fundamental forces of nature. A force in the context I'm talking about is any phenomenon in Universe that exhibits a powerful effect or influence on its environment. Many of these phenomenon quite obviously depend on the four basic forces to function (gravity, electromagnetism, the weak interaction and the strong interaction), but it's the collective and emergent effects of these fundamental forces that I'm interested in. And when I say power I don't just mean the capacity to destroy or wreak havoc, though that's an important criteria.
A force should also be considered powerful if it can profoundly reorganize or manipulate its environment in a coherent or constructive way. Albert Einstein once quipped that the most powerful force in the Universe was compound interest. 4. Black holes can also vary in size and gravitational intensity. That's a lot of pull. 3. 2. THE SOCIOLOGY OF KNOWLEDGE. Before we go any further here, has it ever occurred to any of you that all this is simply one grand misunderstanding? Since you're not here to learn anything, but to be taught so you can pass these tests, knowledge has to be organized so it can be taught, and it has to be reduced to information so it can be organized do you follow that?
In other words this leads you to assume that organization is an inherent property of the knowledge itself, and that disorder and chaos are simply irrelevant forces that threaten it from outside. In fact it's exactly the opposite. Order is simply a thin, perilous condition we try to impose on the basic reality of chaos... --William Gaddis, JR, p. 25 According to C. There are at least three broad intellectual traditions of this subdiscipline. In developing precisely how knowledge becomes socially modified, sociologists have focused on such processes as: How does one know what knowledge is factual in this medium, what ideas are worthy of our attention? 11 Useful, Genius Math Tricks That Are Actually Easy. PARALLEL UNIVERSES, THE MATRIX, AND SUPER-INTELLIGENCE. The Brain—Information about the Brain.
1 Introduction “I think, therefore I am.” —René Descartes, 17th-century philosopher Few of us question the crucial importance of the brain. It is vital to our existence. Our brains enable us to think, as René Descartes so skillfully pointed out nearly 400 years ago. The brain makes up only 2 percent of our body weight, but it consumes 20 percent of the oxygen we breathe and 20 percent of the energy we consume. Scientists have worked for many years to unravel the complex workings of the brain. Despite these and other significant advances in the field of brain research, most of the processes responsible for the integrated functioning of billions of brain cells remain a mystery.
An essential aspect of any scientific research is communicating results to the public in a way that is easily understood. To correctly interpret the information transmitted through these venues, we need a better understanding of basic concepts related to the brain. 2 Myths and Realities about the Brain Figure 1. Nanotechnology is coming. By Ralph C. Merkle, Principal Fellow, Zyvex This is the English original of an article translated into German and published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung of Monday, September 11 2000 on page 55. In the coming decades nanotechnology could make a supercomputer so small it could barely be seen in a light microscope.
Fleets of medical nanorobots smaller than a cell could roam our bodies eliminating bacteria, clearing out clogged arteries, and reversing the ravages of old age. Not long ago, such a forecast would have been ridiculed. At its heart, the coming revolution in manufacturing is a continuation of trends that date back decades and even centuries. The remarkably low manufacturing cost comes from self replication.
While nanotechnology does propose to use self replication, it does not propose to copy living systems. Now that the feasibility of nanotechnology is widely accepted, we enter the next phase of the public discussion: what policies should we adopt to best deal with it? Ancient City Found in India, Irradiated from Atomic Blast - वेद Veda. Radiation still so intense, the area is highly dangerous. A heavy layer of radioactive ash in Rajasthan, India, covers a three-square mile area, ten miles west of Jodhpur.
Scientists are investigating the site, where a housing development was being built. For some time it has been established that there is a very high rate of birth defects and cancer in the area under construction. The levels of radiation there have registered so high on investigators' gauges that the Indian government has now cordoned off the region.
Scientists have unearthed an ancient city where evidence shows an atomic blast dating back thousands of years, from 8,000 to 12,000 years, destroyed most of the buildings and probably a half-million people. The Mahabharata clearly describes a catastrophic blast that rocked the continent. A Historian Comments "Instead of mushroom clouds, the writer describes a perpendicular explosion with its billowing smoke clouds as consecutive openings of giant parasols. Bibliography 1. Quantrev. Theory 1. Page 1 Page 1 ... Concepts and Theory Page 2 ... Negative green and its effects on humans Page 3 ... What are the dangers Page 4 ... In 1930, two French researchers, Leon Chaumery and Andre De Belizal discovered that both the circle and the sphere manifest a spectrum of 12 energy qualities, each of which have specific vibrational qualities.
Right opposite the sun, below the sphere, lay a mysterious and powerful vibration which later on, caused Leon Chaumery’s death. The French team found that by cutting the sphere in half, they could lock these energies in place. This became the key to re-discovering the lost knowledge of the Ancients, particularly that of the Egyptian tradition. We are very familiar with Energy Quantities. Using the above example, and moving the frequency up many octaves higher, one octave at a time, the quality of the note A will cease to be something we can hear. In a prism we can see white light being separated into its original components. 10 Practical Uses For Psychological Research in Everyday Life.
People love to give each other advice. The web is full to bursting with all types of pseudo-psychological advice about life. The problem is, how much of this is based on real scientific evidence? Well, here on PsyBlog we’ve got the scientific evidence. So here’s my top 10 list of what you can learn practically from the psychological research discussed here recently. 1. How to detect liesLies are extremely difficult to detect. Research shows the average person barely does any better than chance. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Yes Virginia There Is A Nibiru | Watercooler Topics. (Before It's News) what is your weather man clueless about? But, since you are scientifically literate, this is for you: The IRAS satellite made 2 observations of Planet X, six months apart, for measurement of distance by parallax. That was in 1983. It was published in the newspapers at the time. Why was this information retracted, withdrawn, hidden? At the end of the last Ice Age, The large animals, including the mammoths, in eastern Siberia, froze so fast, the food in their stomachs didn’t have time to rot. When our solar system is disrupted by Planet X, the Earth gets tilted. And that is what The Powers That Be don’t want people to know. And why we have a near-infrared South Pole Telescope, in addition to other instruments and satellites.
And here is why it happens, for the scientifically literate: The idea that the axis cannot tilt suddenly is based on a misunderstanding. Under those conditions, the Earth’s axis would be prevented from tilting, by the inertia of the spin.
