  Entire # 7 organic robot Hello and and welcome back. The longer we live the more we see the world change around us. Like technological advancement that we would only see in movies. With the future on its way, the line between science fiction and reality becomes unclear. Like the bio computers scientists are creating with rat neurons and stem cells. In order to do this  the way this tech works is by first extraction some cells from a rat brain and having them culture in a glass dish, then they lay the neurons from the lab grown brain on top of a special electrode grid having them form a connection. The grid is used to appeal to the “brain's senses" in a way by sending electrical feedback.  All of this was discussed in Thomas Demarse’s experiment where they had the brain learn to  fly a fighter jet in computer simulation. (image source) Over the years there has been a recurring joke with anything with computing power or a screen. So this being a “computer’” in all, ...

  Entire #5 Mayhem Hello and welcome back to project star.   Have you ever been driving but the car behind you just won't get off your back? Well in todays we will be going over this very event using the  Allstate Mayhem Tailgater :30  ad. In the video Allstate targets drivers with average insurance. The advertisement starts off with its antagonist and narrator Mayhem, who is in a black and white suit and tie but clearly has a cut on his head. In the ad he is portraying an impatient football fan recklessly driving by getting as close to the car ahead of him in an attempt to get the driver ahead to hurry up. (image source) as Mayhem narrates it cuts to the victim ahead who is distracted by his driving. Next he mentions that "you're so busy watching me tailgate that you don't see the one in front of you". After this we see the victims has now hit the blue truck in front of him stopped at a red light. After this Mayhem drives past the crash and tells the audience ...

Element of surprise  Entrie#4        Hello and welcome back To project star.     In my first entry I briefly mentioned the discovery of a new element, however I did not know that there were 3 newly discovered elements that were added to the periodic table. These elements are Oganesson,  Moscovium and Nihonium. Now when I say "newly" I mean in the past 2 decades which in science terms is brand new. However I still want to share it with you because just in case you find it interesting. (image source)       The first element on the list is the synthetic element Oganesson , Og. The element was formerly known as Ununoctium but Oganesson Is the name of Yuri Oganessian , the nuclear physicist and major player who helped find it. This element has an atomic number of 118 and was discovered in 2006 but was officially recognized as is own element in 2016. Its first time being made was the Joint Institute for Nucl...

So fresh and so Clean

 Entry #3 So fresh and so Clean (image source)   Hello and welcome back to Project stars, My name is Dorian Herrera and I want to take a journey with you. Picture this, you have just awoken from a deep sleep, only to find out that you overslept. You are gonna be late to school, so you quickly rummage around your room and start throwing cloths on your body and dart to campus. After that, you somehow manage to make it on time; but realize that your breath reeks. Since you were so focused on making it on time you forgot to brush your teeth, and now are suffering the consequences of morning breath. Luckily for you, in your bag is an ace up your sleeve. Inside your bag is a small, blue and white metal tin wrapped tightly in plastic. Quickly, you tear through the thin plastic layer and pop the lid open.      As the metal cap swings back, your nostrils are forced open by the menthol aroma; and breathing so clearly that you feel like your nose has been replaced....
