What do you think is the most marvelous thing in this world? You may answer Artificial Intelligence, rocket science, black hole, atoms, avengers, human body, stars etc. etc. But hold on did you notice something common in those answers? Well it is humans’ most supreme and vital organ BRAIN. Now you will ask how the brain is related to those answers? Well the answer is simple: the idea for building intelligent machines was given by John McCarty and Alan Turing , an idea for writing sci-fi Avengers strike to Stan Lee, scientists like Democritus and Dalton put forth the theory of smallest particles. All those things were possible for humans because we have a organ called BRAIN, it have ability to think with no limits, it observes, process and analyze the information which we receives through our sense organs, then it concludes that information and think on that information, it imagines something new, the things which it had never seen or listen of, and it is because this ability because of which human have progressed so far. We have tried to understand things from subatomic particles to the universe and multiverse, we have invented things from wheels to rockets, we have not only explored this world but also our universe. We are trying to solve the mysteries of nature with the help of the brain. It is providing us with logic, imagination, intelligence, curiosity, but the brain itself is a mystery. Brain is present in every individual with the same composition, structure but not all individuals are the same. Biologically an adult brain weighs between 1.2 to 1.5 kg, divided into fore brain, mid-brain and hind-brain , composed of cells called neurons. Neurons are electrically excitable cells that function to process and transmit information. This is the same for all individuals but still we have different behaviour, different areas of interests, different ideas and thoughts, and all are the functions of the brain. Well there are many reasons for that which I am not gonna talk about here. But it isn’t that amazing, apples were falling down the trees before Newton discovered gravity, but it was only Newton who thought falling apples differently, Harry Potter was born of J.K Rowling, the masterpiece Mona Lisa came out of the brain of Leonardo da Vinci. But all those great people were having the same brain which we all have, still many of us are not in the list of those great peoples.

Think on that
