Physics of Lilliput and Space Research on Neuroscience
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2007, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
While studying Physics of Lilliput and square-cube law of Galileo in college years I learned suprisingly that wihtin the present technology our scaling arguments are important. The translation of man from terrestrial to an extra-terrestrial environment is accompanied by an upset in the servo-control of movement originated by the removal of the normal gravitational signal. NASA's space research areas, especially on neuroscience, are important too in these aspect. All these research areas may demonstrate the brain's ability to scale up to design itself perfectly – as an unique organ- in an extra-terrestrial envoirement.
