The Reason For Science.
Human beings from time to time are making more findings on our lives and more discoveries too that can help in enhancing and improving it. Also, while living, we have certain new experiences and feelings that we cannot understand. Some of these experiences are claims of seeing ghosts, dead humans rising, connections with another realm and some other forms of power. These experiences having not understood are termed spiritual or unbelievable or too difficult to believe and therefore in order to stop the inquisition, they are therefore accepted as beliefs that are supernatural and cannot be explained. All you have to do is to believe.
Having such beliefs hinders one from knowing exactly if it is really impossible to understand or if there is a solution or formula to finding an answer.
Therefore, it probed humans who are sometimes known as *DEMI-gods* to begin carrying out trials which some of them resulted in errors, failures and injuries till finally, results began to appear and explain certain supernatural beliefs. This was what caused the formation of **SCIENCE** and finally *Scientists*.
The English Dictionary explains Science as the systematic study of nature and this encompasses everything about nature not limited only to plants, food, animals or vegetation.
Scientists having seen that most of their unanswered questions were beginning to have answers and gave them more understanding of the world where they found themselves, they forged ahead and ran more trials and errors which in today are known as experiments. Theories, experiments, hypothesis and every other scientific approach and steps began to take place and by the 21st century, we had a lot of discoveries as solutions to a lot of problems were accomplished.
Elevation theory conquered.
As years went by and more supernatural beliefs arose, the DEMI-gods always saw the birds and sea animals as one of those beliefs. It was too difficult to understand the principle behind the birds flying and the sea creatures swimming and the Scientists arose again not believing in that. They began carrying out experiments for moving on the waters and seas and this led to the construction of boats, canoes, ships, submarines and other sea crafts through the principle of **UPTHRUST**. The Submarine was a real wonder as it not only applied Upthrust but also the ballistic tanks which kept them at different depths in the sea.

Next came the wonder of flying as the envy on the birds still lingered on. The phenomenon of a bird elevating or rising into the sky and flying off was really unbelievable and therefore also termed Supernatural. It would have remain so if the Scientists didn’t rise up to understand that the boats could sail at sea because their weight could be accepted by the Sea and for the birds, it was not so. If you throw a feather as light as it is in the air, it will definitely still fall down so what could be the secret.
It was not until 400 BC when Archytas made a small flying device and this led to other scientists to begin carrying out tests. Lots of tests were carried out as some proved successful and some failed but all these were either models or not reliable and this lingered on until the year 1903 when the Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville where able to understand the flying theory through the past works of George Cayley in 1799. They first began with gliders which were also unreliable and finally built the World’s First Successful Airplane. This was a huge breakthrough which was initiated from the Lift Equation which helped them understand the position and role of the Airplane’s wings in flying. Their plane was one which was not a model and was built out of fabrics of clothes and wood and the wings were designed in such a way that it is slanted and the air pressure acting upwards is greater than that acting downwards and therefore helps lift and stabilize the craft.

How elevation takes place
It was first acknowledged that for a body to float on the air, it’s mass should be lighter than the mass of air but the Wright Brothers through their invention established that it was not a matter of mass as their airplane was a Heavier-Than-Air-Aircraft.
For the aircrafts to be able to elevate and go airborne, they had to run first on a long horizontal pathway for a certain distance too as it breaks through air resistance and due to the principal of lift, it elevates and the rest of the flight is the pilots to decide. This same principle of lift is what is applied in the rotors of helicopters which performs what is known as **Vertical Elevation.**
The Vertical Elevation was another great breakthrough in science dating back to 400 BC after the first flying machine was made, when a Chinese Toy popularly known as Bamboo-Copter was made. The toy phenomenon was such that due to the spinning of the blades made of bamboo, lift was induced and the toy elevates vertically into the air and at the same time whirling round.

Further Scientific breakthroughs kept on appearing ranging from the 1480s when the famous Italian Artist and Polymath, Leonardo Da Vinci created a design for a flying machine called the “Aerial Screw” which could elevate vertically, yes, but still went on rotating as the rotor spun. More rotating and vertical lifting devices arose until 1885 when Thomas Edison created a helicopter model which he powered by an internal combustion engine but it couldn’t move horizontally when airborne. In 1901, a Slovak known as Jan Bahyl made the first helicopter model to elevate and also travel vertically in air. His model was what brought more Scientists to develop larger sizes that could carry humans and goods till finally the helicopters of this present age.
Applications of elevation.
Due to all these experiments out and aircrafts manufactured, Companies arose and the Aeronautical Industry exploded as more beautiful, better, faster and larger aircrafts came up. Airbuses came into place, the aeroplanes/transport planes, cargo planes, jumbo planes, private jets, fighter jets and other wonderful flying machines which could now fly better, farther, faster and higher than the envied birds. This is also one good reason humans were called the DEMI-gods.
Eventually after progressing from models to realistics, the DEMI-gods moved back to models again as toy planes with remote controls, choppers and helicopters came to be. The drones were not left out as the larger drones were now modeled into smaller ones which have served lots of purposes in today’s life. The drones gave room to overhead and a 360 video coverage of any occasion not mattering the size of the event center or the position to capture the occasion from. Spy drones were also recruited for different military purposes and secret agencies operations.

**The power of the human brain and elevation**
The Human Brain is the Central Processing Unit of the human body and it controls every single action carried out by the body that is why it should be protected properly.
Scientists have ran tests on human brains and proven that when babies are born, they make use of less than 2% of their brain and as you grow older, have more ideas, experiences and memories, your brain activity begins to increase and you get to use more percentage of your brain. It was also discovered that the only known man to have used up to 10% of his brain capacity was Albert Einstein and for him to use as much as that and be very smart, then anybody that uses above that would accomplish greater things.
This brain power phenomenon and percentage theory led Scientists to embark on lots of projects in regards to the brain and a theory was discovered after an experiment was ran in the year 1930 by a neurosurgeon known as [Wilder Penfield](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilder_Penfield). He ran a test on a large area of the human brain which appeared to have no function by stimulating them with electricity and they responded and began to appear functional. But, after a short while, they went back to their former state and he drew a conclusion that those brain parts represented the remaining 90% which were not functional. Now, some mystics and spiritualists have it that meditation helps them to get into different energy states and all that but Scientists have discovered that meditation relaxes the mind, helps the brain cells to function better as your hearing, listening and thinking are increased but still, the 10 percent is still not exceeded or even reached because thinking is very different from ability.

In a science fiction movie known as Lucy, this phenomenon was induced in the story line as her brain power was increased when it was stimulated with a certain drug and she was physically connected to everything around her. This happened due to the fact that those sleeping cells in the brain began to function and let her get those abilities.
**Brain Activity or Brain Capacity**
Lots of articles and news have arisen that all about the 10% brain theory is a myth but after Wilder Penfield’s discovery which he called **"Silent Cortex"** , it was discovered that you can use 100% of your brain to do multitasking but the whole brain capacity which also sums a 100% can’t be put into work due to reasons that all brain neurons cannot fire together and if peradventure it does, it results in seizures. Bionic implants being introduced has brought a lot to the world of science as it has provided the bionic heart, hand, hearing and sight which are currently in use to treat people who have deficiencies in these parts.
For this reason, the bionic brain which is still under development will add a stone to the DEMI-gods building of technology as the brain is one which would do and complete tasks within a short period. The brain was done out of a device known as a MEMRISTOR which is smaller than a thin strand of human hair and comprises of a resistor which instead of the much electricity supplied to lead to a seizure, it instead regulates it and lets more percentage to be accessed. It was tested in a bionic brain which had more than a hundred of these memristors and which was fitted in a robot. The robot could be able to interact with physical objects as a table further from it was moved towards it by control. This brain would give room to defy the law of gravity by the brain power as it would also allow elevation by millions of electric charges causing a lift. The lift theory was also applied here as it took a whole team of professors and scientists to unravel this. Till the brain is finished, the work is still under concealment.

**Why the real human brain cannot cause vertical elevation.**
The human brain due to the reason that the whole capacity can’t be used, therefore cannot cause one to elevate or connect completely to his surroundings. This is due to the neurons which cannot fire together and this is no one’s fault as we humans were created like that but when the Bionic Brain is completed, it will not only unlock these mysteries though it might be a few people who would love to have their brain changed, it will also be a replacement for people with Alzheimer and Parkinson’s diseases. It would also cause people to think faster and do a lot of multitasking including mind communications which we see in fictions.
Thanks to all my readers... see you on my next topic
*Conclusion*
Finally, we realize that we humans are actually DEMI-gods in the sense that we can create almost everything around us with the exception of life which no one believes would ever be discovered. That is why science is not everything as some things are better left spiritual because if God had allowed us to use that much of a percentage, we would have been something else and greed and pride would destroy the earth before any one knows it. He did right in blessing us with the 10% little but mighty to create means of healing others. That is the sole purpose of we the STEMs and we would not relent till we are satisfied that no other stone is left upturned except the breath of life phenomenon.
