Today was a Saturday, and in the US most things are still open on Saturday, so I decided to go to the Tech museum in San Jose, which was recommended to me by several people at Stanford.The Tech by itself is an average science museum, not too impressive. However, now at The Tech there is a temporary exhibition called Body Worlds 2. This special exhibition shows real bodies of dead people who were preserved using a special technique called plastination. The exhibiion shows full bodies and body parts and demonstrates the structure and function of various organs in the human body.
The most stunning part of this exhibition were various diseased organs, such as kidneys with tumors, smokers' lungs, and aortas with fatty residue. I have less enjoyed the bodies places in various poses, as I do not think these poses serve a real scientific purpose, but only have artistic merit.
After completing the body exhibition, I returned to the main museum and toured the permanent exhibitions. The exhibitions were quite standard science museum exhibitions, though I liked the fact that many exhibitions allowed you to view stuff online after your visit. For example, here is me caught red-handed by a thermal camera (click to enlarge):
Update: Here are some glowing bacteria I have made:

ReplyDeleteMuseums always fascinate me - there is this (somewhat weird) connection between everything you see at a museum and yourself. I don’t view the artifacts, I experience them - looking at the stuff takes me back in time. I used to visit museums a lot, but since I have joined college, I am unable to find the time. If I could find a reliable Essay Help to take care of my essays, I would have more time on the weekends to visit museums.

"I See Dead People" is a thought-provoking phrase famously associated with the movie "The Sixth Sense," directed by M. Night Shyamalan. This line encapsulates the haunting essence of the film, where a young boy's ability to communicate with spirits unfolds as a central theme. Released in 1999, the movie captivated audiences with its supernatural mystery and psychological depth, culminating in a chilling twist that redefined the narrative.

The Sixth Sense compares to the quirky challenges in games like flappy bird? Both elements tug at our emotions, albeit in very different ways. Exploring those contrasts could lead to fascinating discussions around the psychology behind our fears and the thrills of retro gaming!
