what if we don't have a brain

  The brain is the most complex and important organ in the human body. The brain is made of soft nervous tissues which control all body functions. It is the center of the nervous system in all invertebrates and vertebrates. It is located in the head and functions as the coordinating center of intellectual, sensation and the nervous system. So can we live without a brain? Well, let’s see if it’s possible or not. The brain is divided into two parts: the cerebrum and the cerebellum. The cerebrum controls important functions like our learning ability, emotion, etc. while on the other hand, the cerebellum controls activities such as balance and our muscle movements, etc. But the brain also determines our personality. There are several cases that show that a brain trauma can change someone’s personality. But back to our main question which is “Can we live without a brain?” To understand this, let us look at a case. In 2014, a 24 years old Chinese woman complained in a hospital about her ...

Kardashev scale

  The   Kardashev scale   is a method of measuring a  civilization ' s level of technological  advancement based on the amount of energy  it is able to use. The measure was proposed by   Soviet    astronomer   Nikolai    Kardashev    in 1964. The scale is hypothetical , and regards energy consumption on a cosmic  scale. Various extensions of the scale have since been proposed, including a wider range of power levels (types 0, IV through VI) and the use of metrics other than pure power. Categories  The Kardashev scale has three designated categories, these are: A  Type I civilization , also called a planetary civilization , can use and store all of the energy available on its planet.  A  Type II civilization , also called a stellar    civilization , can use and control energy at the scale of its planetary system. A  Type III ...

What is butterfly effect ?

 In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The term is closely associated with the work of mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz. What is butterfly effect in simple terms ? The  butterfly effect  is an idea that is more commonly used in chaos theory. A small change can make much bigger changes happen; one small incident can have a big impact on the future. The idea started from weather prediction. ... This  term  can be used in areas other than weather. What is butterfly effect theory ? The  butterfly effect  is the idea that small things can have non-linear impacts on a complex system. The concept is imagined with a  butterfly  flapping its wings and causing a typhoon. Of course, a single act like the butterfly flapping its wings cannot cause a typhoon. IS butte...
