Someone on one of my neurofeedback forums shared this beautiful not-quite-6-minute video of the universe from large to small: Sweet View.
The best bit for those of us intrigued by the brain is at the very end, so do stay tuned throughout....
Nonlinear complexity theorists tell us that the same principles are visible from every "size" of system in our universe - which is what makes this little video so impressive. I'd love to frame that last shot for my office!
Don't know what I'm talking about?
That's your sign you need to go watch -- then come back and share what you thought!

Alisa Miller alerted me to her fun list of 100 Fascinating Facts about the Brain -- what a great collection of all sorts of tidbits about the brain!
Once I saw it, I wanted to share it with all of you -- Feel free to share -- what's your favorite factoid? The most surprising? The hardest to believe? The one that caught my attention today was: #47: Decision-making. Women tend to take longer to make a decision,
but are more likely to stick with the decision, compared to men, who
are more likely to change their mind after making a decision. This makes total sense to me after a holiday period of trying to decide on a new dishwasher - I'm the researcher, my husband is the "let's just get one!" half of the team. Looking forward to hearing what catches your attention in this fabulous list! |
