Watch how the ancient Babylonians tracked Jupiter in the sky
|
view preview
It's hard to fathom the difficulties our ancestors had to contend with given how our world has advanced with technological sophistication over the past century. We shouldn't, however, underestimate the power of the human-mind, and how everything that was discovered in the past paved the way for the practices used today, especially those used in science. Of the very first astronomers, the ancient Babylonian were the first to use simple arithmetic to predict the positions of celestial bodies. Evidence reveals that these astronomers, working several centuries B.C.E., also employed sophisticated geometric methods that foreshadow the development of calculus. Historians had thought such techniques did not emerge until more than 1400 years later, ...

Watch how animals react to their own reflection
|
view preview
A French photographer has conducted an interesting experiment in Gabon by installing mirrors in several locations in the wilds and observing the way the animals reacted to their own reflections. The result was most amusing, to say the least.

Two different thinking systems of the human mind
|
view preview
There are two different "thinking" systems that predominate our brain. They are responsible for our first impressions and then later changing them, our in depth views and perspectives, in addition modulating our thinking with respect to a given context. System one is mainly the "fast" thinking system. System two is a relatively slower thinking system. Their remarkably different yet crucial functions are portrayed beautifully in this video.

Time lapse of neural development
|
view preview
The video below shows 16 hours of neural development compressed into 40 seconds of a developing zebrafish's nervous system. Notice how the neurons branch to make connections with other neurons – a process vital to information transmission. To obtain such accurate footage, the animal's embryo was suspended in water, rather than gel, and its photographers used gentle light sheet technology to capture the specimen in 3D, at a high temporal resolution. ...

This trick will make your brain see a black-and-white image in color
|
view preview
Watch the video above, the trick is nothing short of incredible! This is due to a mechanism called the opponent-process theory, which was developed in the 1870s. It is the idea of perceiving color in terms of paired opposites such as red with green, and yellow with blue. The possible scientific explanation for this theory is that bipolar cells are excited by one set of wavelengths and inhibited by other, which are in extend attached to the cone retinal receptors.
