The amazing brain!


There is something special with human brain.

It´s not just about feelings. It´s about create knowledge as a model for understanding the reality.

In this way, it´s amazing how far the human kind can get. If we just stop to think about the ancient civilizations, the inventions and the tech developing in our times, we just can realize the great ability thanks to our brain. But if we think about all the abstract thought and concepts that we can imagine, in this moment you can realize about the real capacity of the human brain.




I remember when I learned about molecules. In spite of human inability to see the smallest things, we can create a model that represents the reality in a very close exactitude. It was in the XIX century when August Kekulé proposed a model for a molecule called benzene. He couldn´t see the molecule, just by the results of experiments and he´s thought, he arrived to the better structure that represents benzene. We used that structure until our days, but just a couple of years we could got a real image of structures that contains this benzene rings. Guess what: It is just like Kekulé thought! It´s amazing!




So, if we can just stop and think, and imagine about even the things that we can´t see, we will see it!

There is many things and concepts that we still use it, created by philosophers and scientists, even when are passed thousands years. Our ability to communicate each other through a precise language is just a simple example of that.



The human brain still have the ability to surprise us positively, and create and imagine for a better world!
