LUCY

LUCY
This week was the last creative thinking class and it was so fun. we watched an amazing movie that i never watched before. The movie titled LUCY. Short story, the movie tells about a young woman named Lucy gets abducted by a gang in Taipei and forced to carry a bag of drugs in her abdomen. But when the bag bursts, the drug gives her access to the 90 percent of her brain that most of us never use, making her superhuman. I think, it is such a bad science movie but it is quite interesting and make me interested to find out about the facts of these several things:




CPH4 SUBSTANCE

The drug CPH4 doesn't exist. CPH4 is a  natural molecule that pregnant women produce after six weeks of pregnancy in very tiny quantities, it is not a drug. its real chemical name is 6-carboxytetrahydroprerin synthase.

This is an enzyme found in the cells that are used to produce other types of molecules that are necessary for a cell to function. This enzyme produces Queuosine. Queuosine is nothing more than glue for other molecules to stick to each other. So, it literally has no impact on the brain capacity. your brain's capacity is theoretically unknown so you can't simply take magic drug or pill and expect to become more intelligent or gain instant knowledge. there is not a drug out there that is going to make you smarter, but you can increase your day to day efficiency by doing some exercise regularly. all you need to do is invest some time to regularly train your brain.




CEREBRAL CAPACITY OF HUMAN

This topic is still being debated between the facts and myths. The myths said that human only has 10% of our neural matter. There is no truth about this myths. Therefore, the scientist tried to find the scientific truth about it and the said that the myths are totally wrong, the entire brain is active all the time. The brain is an organ. its living neurons and the cells that support them are always doing something. The capacity of the human brain is difficult to quantify precisely, people do not know how to measure the size of the memory. Certain memories involve more detailed memory and thus take up more space, Other memories are forgotten and thus become free space. When your brain works on a problem-turning light that hits your retina into an image or preparing to reach for a pint of beer or solving an algebra problem-its effectiveness is as much a question of "where" and "when" as it is of "how much." There are a lot of other researchers that many scientists did, but no one can clearly answer this question, even making people more confusing about this topic. Science doesn't always have to answer all the time. Scientist tries to find their best hypothesis based on their scientific ways. Maybe, in the future, it could be proven that all we know about the brain is wrong, but for now, 10% brain hypothesis doesn't stand up, at least to today science.


ECHOLOCATION SYSTEM OF DOLPHIN

Echolocation is used to give a sense of distance between the dolphin and its surrounding. The dolphin release sound waves which bounced back to define the distance. It also gives them information about the location of the object and some indication of the shape. Dolphin produces high-frequency clicks. these clicks create sound waves that travel quickly through the water around them. In fact, sound waves travel almost five times faster through water than they do through the air. Dolphin have a melon in the head that allows for information to be transmitted.

TIME AS MEASUREMENT

In my opinion, I strongly agree with time as a measurement. Without time people couldn't measure how long a day is, a month is and a year is. Time keeps running and it is the measure of change. As times goes by human do their life, the day goes, and everything changes by the time. I think, time is the measurement of everything. people do everything within a certain time, and time becomes the control of human daily life. Some research said that time is only an illusion. There is no time. There never was and there never will be. Everything exists in the present moment and it's a fundamental principle of the universe that many of our scientists are still trying to grasp. However, without time we never know the past, present, and future. Maybe time certainly an illusion but it can be a measurement and control. In the movie titled LUCY that i have just watched. I found that Time is the only true unit of measure. It gives proof to be the existence of matter. Without time, we don't exist.


HOW CAN YOU INCREASE YOUR CEREBRAL CAPACITY  

1. Do something new. By doing something new over and over again, your brain wires and creates new neural pathways, that will increase your intelligence level.
2. Exercise regularly. It's been proven that regular exercise help to increase brain function and enhances neurogenesis. Every time you exercise, you creates those new neutral connections faster.
3. Train your memory. Memorizing phone numbers or other important numbers, new people's name, remembering events or things, and giving a presentation are great opportunities to practically train your memory muscle to help you improve the function of the brain.
4. Be curious. By being curious and questioning everything., you force your brain to innovated and create new ideas.
5. Think positive. Stress and anxiety kill existing brain neurons from being created. Based on the research, positive thinking speeds up the creation of cells. Try and get a handle of negative thoughts and make an effort to replace them with positive ones.
6. Eat healthy. Our brains consume over 20% of all nutrients and oxygen that we consumed. Besides fruits and vegetables, make sure that dark chocolate is included. When you eat chocolate, your brain produces dopamine. Dopamine helps you learn faster and remember better.  
7. Read a book. Reading relieves tension and stress because it's a form of escapism. Using your imagination as a great way to train your brain because you force your mind to picture what you are imagining.
8. Get enough sleep. Sleep is like a mini detox for the brain. This is when your body regenerates cells and removes all the toxins that have built up during the day.
9. Ban the calculator. Resist the urge to work thing out using an external device and use the device you were born with.
10. Spend time with your loved one. Talking with others and engaging with your loved ones helps you think more clearly, and it also can lift your moods.  

NIKOLA TESLA

Nikola Tesla was a genius engineer, physicist, futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system. He was a scientist who affects today's development of technology. He was very smart and his powers of memorizing were prodigious. A quick reading of a page gave him a permanent record of it. For him, study was a far different process than for an average person. He could consult in his mind any page of any book he had read, and formula. he could recite scores of books, complete from memory. Some of the greatest inventions that Nikola Testa discovered are alternating current, Light, Radio, X-ray, remote control, electric motor, robotic, laser, wireless communication and limitless free energy. If Tesla hadn't invented and researched everything he did in his life, our technology today would be worse. Why the is a genius brain and normal brain. I think genius is biologically congenital from birth. The intellectual capability is inherently biological. In a normal brain, there's a relatively equal split between the long and short connection within our cerebral cortex. The short connection is correlated without aptitude pertaining to something that interests us, while long connection pertains to our capacity of thing outside of these interests us. In a genius brain, the split connection usually leans heavily toward one or the other. Furthermore, the great inventions of the genius people not only supported by their brain, but also their willingness, determination, good habits and unyielding spirit.

Children's Book

CHILDREN'S BOOK
This week blog will talk about 3 reviews of children's book. Actually, there are a lot of interesting children's book that I found and it is a little bit confusing to choose 3 of them to write the review. so, here is the 3 children's book that I choose:

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

This is a children's book written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond. The story is about a boy gives a cookie to mouse and then the mouse ask for a glass of milk, then a straw to drink, nail scissors and a broom. Next, he wants to take a nap, listen to a story, draw a picture and hang it on the refrigerator. And when he looks at the refrigerator, it makes him thirsty, then asks for milk again and continue. The story is very easy to understand, especially for children. the illustration also interesting and the characters are cute. The illustration was executed by color pencils with some vibrant color which has a nice composition. That's why this book became famous and a lot of people like it and also translated into several languages.

Horton Hears a Who

This book is written by a famous writter called Dr. Seus. It also illustrated by himself. The book tells the story about an elephant named Horton, he hears a voice in a speck. He use  clover to save the speck of dust and then he makes contact with the Mayor of Whoville. Horton finds that tiny speck there is a city crowded with creatures and he decides to leave Whoville in a safe place. This book has a strong moral message which is so good for children. it tells us to protecting life no matter how smal the person or intense the opposition. It also addapted to a movie and realise in 2008. This book also has a high number of readers and good review and also recomended to teaching children philosophy.

Are You My Mother?

The story about a hatchling bird who lost his mother. His mother thinking that her egg will stay in her nest where she left it for some foods. But, suddenly the baby bird hatches and he flies away to find his mom. He asks a cat, dog, car and etc. but no one is his mom. He cried so hard and he heard a snort. at that moment the snort drops the hatchling into his nets and his mother returns. the two are united and happily ever after. This book is written by P. D. Eastman and became Teachers' top 100 books for children. This book is written by P. D. Eastman and became Teachers' top 100 books for children. This is a good book for reassuring children that we all have a mom who is looking out of us even when she is not with us every moment of the day.
