In this age of social media and social responsibility WE have become a society hungry for knowledge! And with new advances in technology, knowledge has become easily accessible. Through Facebook you can learn through photos of your friends' trips around Europe, through Twitter you can discover fantastic world-wide organizations, and through YouTube you can watch the TED talks - amazing lectures and presentations from some of the top minds around the world.
And thanks to the center of fun and accessible knowledge, I spent my Saturday learning about the heart and the amazing system that is our body. Body Worlds is back again at the Science Center, and is definitely something everybody needs to see. In a world where technology draws us together and shortens distances between us - Body Worlds uses "the story of the heart" to prove that we really are all connected.
Body Worlds will surprise and astound you, as you suddenly find yourself exclaiming "Look how big our aorta is!" or "Look at our complex nervous system". Within this exhibit you will be surrounded by people hungry for knowledge (and I do mean surrounded, the exhibit was packed), but you are all drawn together by a common sensation of awe. Underneath skin and hair, we all look the same, we all work the same, and we are all truly beautiful.
The exhibit will no doubt inspire you. Whether you are inspired to help those suffering from poverty because you realize all human beings truly are the same and therefore deserve the same opportunities, whether you are astounded by the sheer size and complexity of our brain and declare that nothing can stop a machine that advanced from making a difference, or if it's simply the display on obesity that motivates you to get up and get out to one of our fabulous city parks. Body Worlds makes our bodies into works of art - and if art can open discussions, motivate individuals and instill emotions, then so can we.
