THE BRANEWORLD

Hi, today we are gonna explore another interesting "universe" theory. No further and boring introductions, let's get right into it!


• The braneworld is a theory in which the four space-time dimensions of the universe that are apparent make up a surface, called the brane, in a higher-dimensional space-time, called the bulk. One of the appealing features of the brane world is that it can explain why gravity is much weaker than the other forces, with the nongravitational forces being localized to the brane and the gravitational force not limited to the brane. •



• In fact, the idea of brane world allows you to consider the possibility of escaping our universe and traveling to a different universe on another brane! •

• Ever since the inception of string theory, one of the major conceptual hurdles has been the addition of extra dimensions. With the introduction of all of these new objects, string theorists have begun exploring what they mean. One major step is the introduction of brane world scenarios, where our 3-dimensional universe is actually a 3-brane. •


So, this was it for today, if you liked it don't forget to check the other ones, too! See ya soon!

Mentalist Theories

       Hi, I'm back and today I want to share with you not one theory, but a whole category of theories, these ones being called "Mentalist Theories". Let's start with the definition, shall we?      Mentalist theories include all those who use ideas and terms such as soul , psyche , mind and mental processes , among others. They also use introspection from the methodological point of view.      1. Philosophical psychology This psychology focuses on the study of intimate nature of the person or life, explaining it through metaphysical principles. The rise of psychology lies in the Greek world and in the origin of formal knowledge. It was part of the philosophy that dealt with the themes of the soul. These origins are embodied in his name; Psyche in Greek means soul and logos, rational knowledge. The authors to emphasize within this part of the psychology would be Plato and Aristotle. Plato considered that people were formed by two opposing substances, body and mind, a

Theories of Stimulus-Response Conditioning

  Hi, I'm back and today we are gonna talk about another category of theories, just as we did yesterday! As the title already says, today, we are gonna talk about the theories of stimulus-response conditioning. Let's start with the definition, shall we?      These theories intended that the psychology was considered a science as well as the physics, reason why they had a methodology that focused on those aspects that were observable and testable.      1. The connectionism Thorndike , with this theory, defines learning as the result of the association between stimuli and responses. Associations that will be strengthened or weakened by the nature of the same. The foundation of Thorndike's connectionism was the association between sensory impressions and impulses of action. In addition it affirms that the most characteristic form of association is obtained by means of the trial and error. Its main contribution was the formulation of the law of effect. This dictates that if a

Theories of teaching

  Hi, today we are gonna talk about yet another category of theories, this one being the last we are talking about for some time. Today, we are gonna talk about the "Theories of teaching". Let's get right into it and start with the definition, shall we?      Theories about instruction and teaching are responsible for explaining and scientifically substantiate the teaching-learning process.     1. The theory of learning by discovery This theory was developed by Bruner and with it exposes the active role of the learner in the learning process. It promotes that the person is acquiring knowledge itself, so that the final content that is reached is not exposed from the beginning, but is being discovered by the person as it progresses. With this type of learning it aims to overcome the limitations of mechanistic learning, promote stimulation and motivation in students, as well as enhance metacognitive strategies and learn to learn. Bruner's theory is one of constructivist
