Science Questions

1. Why do we listen to music? = Music means so much to so many people. For some it is a way to escape from reality and raise someone’s expectation’s in life, for some people music comes to them from the heart, some people listen to music because it’s something meaningful to them, for some it brings flashbacks of there life. Which could help them memorize?

2. Why are there differences with modern and classical music? =  The reason why there are differences with modern and classical music is because they are all created in very different time periods. For instance 100’s and 100’s of years ago when people played and made music none of it used electricity, which meant no electric guitars, electric keyboards or synth. But these days there is all of that. Music fits around the changes of humanity.

3. How does memory happen \ how do we use our brain to memorize? = When you hear, see, touch and taste something it comes in from the outside world and into your brain.  Some of the things are so unimportant they only manage to stay in your short-term memory system for up to 5 seconds! Some things that are important but only need to be remembered for a short time get stored into your short-term memory. But when it comes to things that are really important and need to be remembered for a very long period of time, end up being sorted into your long-term memory part of your brain and this is when it gets pretty amazing everything you forget you will never EVER end up fully forgetting. For instance a friend one time hung out with another friend. Them hanging out wasn’t so important so they forgot about it. But then someone filmed it and they showed it to the two friends who hung out that time. There is no way they will ever forget it. It will reboot the scene of them hanging back into there brain.

The hippocampus has the big job of transferring information between short-term and long-term memory.

4.How does the brain work? = The brain is made up of tiny brain cells called neurons. Everyone has up to 100 billion of them! All neurons have a cell body called a Nucleus Dendrites that look like little fingers. They fire out electrical charges. For instance, when you first learned to walk the neurons try to connect and eventually connect and then never EVER unconnect. That’s why you never ever forget to walk!  

5. Who invented numbers? = Numbers or symbols used for counting have existed since man learned to count! Archeologists and historians estimate that numbers were first used around 32,000 years ago. They also say that there is no actual person that invented numbers but they know that numbers first originated from the by the ancient Mayans, Egyptians, Arabs and Greeks.

6. When discovered the brain? = Back in BC when the first human got smashed in the head with a large blunt object!

7. What is the memory capacity of the human brain? =  The brain’s exact storage capacity for memories is difficult to calculate. Because First, we do not know how to measure the size of a memory. Second, certain memories involve more details and thus take up more space; other memories are forgotten and thus free up space. Additionally, some information is just not worth remembering in the first place.

    

8. What are the differences between modern and classical music? = The biggest difference is variety! At the beginning of last century is when everything took off! Like: Auto tune, synth, radio, more experimental music, bigger variety 

of instruments and genres.

9. When does the brain start to loose memory? = The brain begins to lose sharpness of memory and powers of reasoning and understanding not from 60 as previously thought, but from as early as 45, scientists say.

10. Where in the brain are your memories stored? =  Scientists assume that our memories are stored somewhere inside our cranium. The common belief is that they are stored in our brain cells, which can be stimulated and retrieved.
