Einstein without a Brain !?

admin — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:36:40 +0000

It is historically true that Einstein became brainless, not in his life time but after approximately 7 hours after his death. Thomas Stoltz Harvey who made autopsy on Einstein removed his brain (without a permission from his family) for scientific study because of Einstein’s advanced thinking abilities and popularity. You can see the photo he has taken during his research.

Harvey sliced the brain into 240 blocks and made experiments with some chemical stuff. As a result, he couldn’t find something unusual but kept the pieces with him over the next four decades in two jars eventhough he was kicked from his job at the university. All this time, he just gave a tiny pieces to some researchers. Some of these researchers later claimed that Einstein Brain was working that way because of the high level of glial cells on the left part.

Funny thing is that he didn’t plan to take the brain. He was just a last minute replacement for another doctor in the morgue. In 2007 Harvey died and could kept his secret unpopular until 1978 from mass media. I will not tell where Einstein brain pieces now to motivate you doing a Google research for it, just added a few photos below

Actually, Einstein is not the first person whose brain was preserved. Our mathematical genius Gauss was also one of the most famous victims.

If you want to hear another interesting story about brain preservation, refer to Edward Rullof as well. A talented philologist, continuous criminal and who owned one of the largest brains in history.

A good read about the subject? Here is the journey of Einstein’s brain. Driving Mr. Albert, poor Albert !

Crazy Wooden Toy - Kapla Blocks

admin — Mon, 04 May 2009 06:40:39 +0000

A perfect alternative to famous Lego toys. Simple laser-cut pine-made wooden pieces enable children to construct any structure (a pirate ship, skyscrapers, dragons, villages, anything you can imagine as you can see from the following pictures) without any glues, screws or clips. There is simply no interlocking on Kapla Building Blocks. You just put one on another. The structures you build will mostly depend on gravity and balance. Well, it is even possible to construct Eiffel tower that way.

There is only one type piece featuring 7 different colors. They are safe, non toxic and green. Especially, the best toy for kindergardens, birthdays and parties. Safe natural creative play. The best way to rescue your children and their health from computer video games !

Extreme Burgers for Guaranteed Heart Attack

These photos are from an interesting burger restaurant where you can ruin your health while you take a victorious taste for your stomach if you regularly eat. Actually, this concept is quite successful and similar to lung cancer and cigarette smokers dilemma where addicts continue to smoke event though they know what waits for them in the end. A man can happily die with the combination of a hot chick plus a big burger. It is a proven fact.

There were a cool art exhibition in Russian city Nijni Novgorod and masters showed their creative charming daggers and swords. There were around 70 pieces and most of them were manufactured using only old techniques. Some of them are inspired by the works of the talented painters of the city. Here are some great photos.

Have you ever been sucked into a black hole?

admin — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 14:19:43 +0000

The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics which is authored by Leonard Susskind (Felix Bloch professor of theoretical physics at Stanford University and he is accepted as one of the fathers of String Theory) provides an interesting and adventurous journey to subjects like quantum mechanics, black holes, string theory, general relativity.

What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did-and in doing so put at risk everything we know about physics and the fundamental laws of the universe. Most scientists didn’t recognize the import of Hawking’s claims, but Leonard Susskind and Gerard t’Hooft realized the threat, and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics. THE BLACK HOLE WAR is the thrilling story of their united effort to reconcile Hawking’s revolutionary theories of black holes with their own sense of reality-effort that would eventually result in Hawking admitting he was wrong, paying up, and Susskind and t’Hooft realizing that our world is a hologram projected from the outer boundaries of space.

Don’t think that you will not understand anything. It is a popular culture science book. Surely not for dummies, but also not for geniuses.

Coffins for Showtime Obsessives

Honestly, I support crematories and so fearful going under the soil to stay thousands of years with boredom and with lovely looking insects (my horror story brrrrr) until I dissolve to main elements completely but still the majority of people have traditions to be buried “happily” (No one can make me to say that “blindly” !). Anyway, It is a chance to express your hobbies or lifestyle at your funeral party for a last impression on the crowd. (Well I learned that these are also suitable for cremation). So, now they are in my need list

Well I have remembered that my mother was obsessively fingering and making holes on one of those art forms which was under exhibition in a shopping center when she visited there time to time for products and telling that whether she annoyed them or not? An interesting approach surely.
