The Fibancci Sequence

 

Hiya guys sorry I havent written much lately, been busy trying to write a new science book (which isnt looking good lately), but I have something special for you guys in this post.

The fibanci sequence is a series of numbers that go like this;

0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, ...

It just goes on forever! The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. The 2 is found by adding 1+1, the same for 21 which is 8+13 etc.

In fact when you add squares next to each other it makes a spiral as depicted below.


                                               


                                              The squares put together make a spiral

Do you see how the squares fit neatly together?
For example 5 and 8 make 13, 8 and 13 make 21, and so on.

Thats great and all, but what is so special about the fibancci sequence?

What is so special about the Fibonacci sequence is that it exhibits a certain numerical pattern which originally was the answer to an exercise in the first ever school algebra text. But this pattern turned out to have importance far beyond what they all thought at the time.

It is used to model or describe an amazing variety of phenomena, in maths, science, art and nature, you name it! The mathematical ideas the Fibonacci sequence leads to, such as the golden ratio (which is 1.618...), spirals and self- similar curves, have long been appreciated for their charm and beauty, but no one can really explain why they they are so appealing, but many people think that nature has hardwired us to like this particular pattern so as to have healthy offspring and such.

 

 This is a song by a famous band called Tool and they have used the numbers of the fibancci sequence to write the beats to the song and so on. Its a very nice song.

Womens Domestic Capability

Fuck it. That'll do.

I think this is Women's attitude to cleaning compared to men's. And this is why I think this.

Women can multitask

This is true.  Human multitasking is the best performance by an individual of appearing to handle more than one task at the same time. And Women do better at it as the part of our brains that allow us to multitask is actually thicker (allowing for more brain power so to speak) then men's.

But!

The brain cannot fully focus when multitasking, and people take longer to complete tasks and are predisposed to error, which is why although women can multitask better, the task's that we carry out are usually not done to it's fullest. For instance; In the morning I always wipe down the kitchen side after I gorge down my breakfast but I never get right into the corners of the counter (although this could be down to laziness.) Men however, when they do a task they get right into it! I mean when you force them to or your lovely husband decides to surprise you by cleaning the counter, the corners of it are sparkling!

The reason why men typically are better at housework (although it always depends on the individual) is because they can't multitask very well so they complete every task to the fullest to compensate so to speak.

So for all these unfunny joke's made by douches (not all by men) about 'Women get back into the Kitchen' or 'Make me a Sandwich' how about YOU get into the kitchen and make me a Sandwich because your obviously better at it. BOOM! Roasted!    

 

What is Suspended animation?

 

Seriously What the Fuck is it?

Well my 200 blogger friends let me explain what it is as I usually do in my weird and frankly fucking wild blog post's.


Suspended animation is the art of shutting down life processes and then starting them up again. It's wild stuff, but it's not science fiction. (Just pseudoscience if you read my previous post)

Suspended animation can potentially help trauma and heart attack victims survive long enough to be treated which is very awesome. In fact I found a video from TEDTalks to explain it far better than I could. I'm way too nice to you guys.

 

I liked this video but I expected more of an applause when he said he saved thousands of babies, I mean come on, the dude is saving babies and the crowd barely made a noise. I applauded though.

The Science behind Addiction

 Different Addictions



Some people are even unfortunately addicted to coloring

When I talk about addiction in this blog post I am not just limiting addiction to drugs because you can be addicted to other stuff besides drugs. So lets just get this clear; you can be addicted to anything. Some people become addicted to gambling, reading, eating, exercise, love, looking in the mirror, anything! I myself had Arithomania (an addiction to counting) a couple years ago where I would associate people with numbers for instance; I would associate my English teacher with the number 1.618 (if you are aware of the divine proportion you will realise the significance of this number and know its actually quite an endearing number) and I would count all the cars on the road. I would also recite the Fibonacci sequence whilst I went asleep aloud which drove my siblings crazy!
So now the point that you can be addicted to anything, even counting numbers, has been made

What make's us addicted to these things?

 

The little red mark is the Nucleas Accumbens

Well, you see it's not actually your fault that you get addicted to something (unless you stupidly inject yourself with heroin then that is your fucking fault), its to do with the brain chemistry. Every living thing on this earth has a reward system implemented into the brain through years of evolution and it is this reward system that has kept you alive for as long as you have been. Without a reward system we wouldn't eat, sleep or drink water. Which is the vital things that keep you alive, unless your a woman, then you need to eat, sleep, drink water and hear compliments. And what produces this 'reward system' is the part of the brain called the Nucleas Accumbens. It is located underneath the Cerebral hemisphere and once a creature performs an action that fulfils something like eating to stop hunger, dopamine is released to the cluster of nerves to encourage this behaviour and you feel good. So next time your hungry you'll know to eat something so you don't feel the pain of hunger and you also get a little rush of dopamine to continue encouraging this behaviour. This is what can make you addicted to the craziest things! Such as coloring ;)

I'm not saying everyone is addicted to sleeping,eating and drinking water. As addiction is when you become very OCD about what your addiction is and it's when it gets out of 'control'. I mean most people don't have a compulsive desire to sleep 24/7 do they? (Unless of course they suffer from a medical disorder or are just fucking lazy.) Whereas someone can have a compulsive desire to looking in the mirror 24/7.

Are some people more at risk of having an addiction than others?

Yes. Just like some people are more likely of getting the flu than other people. But in this case it has nothing to do with the immune system it has to do with the amount of dopamine receptors in the brain. Research conducted by Cambridge university shows that people who had fewer dopamine receptors in a certain region of the brain are more at risk of having an addiction.

I theorise its because of the low amount of receptors in the brain of whatever particular animal or person that makes them want to seek out how to amplify that amount of dopamine that is being released by having an addiction. Of course they are not doing it consciously (unless they are making the ridiculous conscious choice of whether to have that snort of cocaine), many addictions are accidental as I'm sure no one really want to get addicted to eating plaster off the wall, as I saw on an advert for the TV show 'my weird addictions'.

Whats the cure for addiction?



 





The science of love

Love <3

We all like love don't we?(Well, until the person you fall in love with pisses you off) It's one of the natural highs of life as our brain gives us a wosh of dopamine and endorphins and we cannot stop thinking about that one person constantly.

But what happens when we fall in love?

Well, as a result of certain stimuli such as smell for instance, the hypothalamus releases a powerful discharge of endorphins (such as dopamine) and has an effect like that of taking cocaine.

Why can I not stop thinking of this person? (I take it you are obsessed about this person otherwise you wouldn't be reading this post.)

One of the places that the dopamine is released is the nucleas accumbens, a cluster of nerves located underneath the Cerebral hemisphere. The reason you are so obsessed about this person is because when you met up with this person or spot them somewhere ''unexpectedly'' ;) the brain releases dopamine to this important cluster of nerves and creates the 'reward system'. It's like your brain is saying 'well done for stalking this person like a lost puppy, in return I'm gonna give you a rush of dopamine'. So basically this person has become your 'drug'. Every time you see, touch or talk to them you get a high. So in other words you a crackhead. And it's actually very accurate of me to call you a crackhead, because this is the exact same process a crackhead goes through.

But why this person?

Why is this person your crack you mean? Well maybe it could be that this person released some odourless pheromones that complimented your genetic being? Or maybe there facial features such as eye's that are alike to your mother's that comforted you when you were a baby and thus stimulated a happy memory? Or hey, maybe there your soul mate. Maybe it was written when time began (not before as there was no before!) that you would meet this person, fall in love. Who know's what it is?

How long does it take to fall in love with someone?

There was a study, I think it was in Italy? It would make sense as Italy ment to be one of the most romantic places on earth. Anyway, they paired up random people and made them stare into eachother eyes for four minutes (they were allowed to blink otherwise it would be torture) and were told to share intimate details of themselves for half an hour. Those subjects were shown to fall in love and resulted in two of the pairs to get married and another pair to become a couple. Whats even more remarkable is that it only took 34 minutes for those people to fall in love. So there you have it, how to make someone fall in love with you without having any say so whatsoever! And me telling you how to MAKE someone fall in love with you is making my moral compass twitch so that's it on this subject.

Oh, and I hope you find your soul mate whilst I'm here sad
and alone eating fucking Ice cream
