middle with something exciting or intriguing at the core. So what might there be at the heart of our universe? Are we going to cheat with our very first entry? Why yes indeed we are. There is one kind of universe in which planet Earth is located smack-bang in the centre; and that is our observable universe. Where in the universe did the Big Bang take place? If we find the answer to this question, surely that means we can find out the location of the centre of the universe, doesn’t it? The Big Crunch describes one of the many potential fates for our universe, whereby the expansion of space not only stops, but reverses entirely causing the collapse of the universe. To some people it may feel like a cop out to tempt you with the possibility of something magical at the centre of our universe, only to go “ha ha there isn’t one”. So to alleviate your aching blue space balls, let’s take a look at the insane stuff going on at the centre of our galaxy, The Milky Way.

your mind, which ones would you pick? The way you act is governed by the chemicals in your brain and the events you’ve experienced. We know that we can influence the former by messing with your grey matter’s chemical makeup, but could adding new memories fundamentally change who you are as a person?The opposite of Explicit Memory is Implicit Memory, and this type controls your subconscious movements; with everything from walking, speaking and driving all governed by the memories you gained while learning to do them.Semantic memory is another type of your conscious Explicit Memory, and this one helps you retain facts and information, with these memories consciously activated whenever you need to know something. If you’ve had a terrible life full of woe and failure would you replace your memories with better ones? And if so, what would happen to these memories once they’re implanted in your mind?

If you believe that extra-terrestrial beings have actually visited..

Earth, then you must also conclude that they have done so in secret and that this was done on purpose.
When David Attenborough wants to study the mating habits of iguanas he doesn’t burst in like Leeroy Jenkins and perve away; he watches from a distance using hidden cameras so as not to disturb them. It’s a sad truth that some people find it hard to deal with strangers from the next town over, so can you imagine how we’d react to a group of intergalactic interlopers turning up at our front door with their strange vehicles, weird outfits and incomprehensible genitalia?Why are we so sure that an alien race might stay in secret and try to observe us from a distance? The Zoo Hypothesis speculates that human beings are being observed by an alien race today, and that this might have been going on for some time. The premise of this video was to investigate the reasons why aliens would visit Earth and keep their presence secret, but this assumes that our guests would only do so deliberately. The million year head start we mentioned in our last entry is a very conservative estimate.

You can’t help but notice lately that the universe actually does….

Pretty neat right? But why? Why does anything exist?
The Big Bang is the most commonly accepted explanation as to how our universe sprang into existence, but what triggered this spectacular event?Another field which attempts to explain why the universe exists is general relativity, although she and quantum mechanics rarely make for cosy bedfellows. Our universe’s space-time is theorised to exist in one of three different forms; flat as a pancake, curved outwards like this banana, or it curves inwards like this other banana.When we think about a time before our universe existed we tend to imagine endless space, with reality just waiting for our universe to fill it like an under-stuffed burrito.

Imagine if there was a perfect number, a single number so…

flawless it formed the basis for all art and music; a number so important that it could be used across the disciplines of mathematics and physics, and a number so profoundly purposeful that the natural world and the universe would bend to its whims. The Fibonacci Sequence is a string of numbers that begins with zero and one which can be extended infinitely by adding up any two consecutive numbers to find the next in the sequence. The Golden Ratio is a mathematical term used to describe the relationship of two figures, whereby the numbers seem to be in some form of complimentary ratio.To link the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio we must look at the ratio between two consecutive numbers in Fibonacci, and observe the pattern this ratio takes as you use ever higher numbers. The Golden Ratio has fascinated the world’s most knowledgeable people for millennia since its discovery, and we have seen its influence in some of the finest works mankind has ever produced. Is the Golden Ratio a universal law applied by nature? The evidence seems to suggest so, and the aforementioned Leonardo Da Vinci may have alluded to this in some of his most famous works.
