They pretty much were the only residents of the food chain. It was an utopia for the mice, all their needs were met & there were no predators. Extreme precautions were taken to stop any disease from entering the universe. The mice were chosen for their health, obtained from the National Institutes of Health breeding colony.

The weather was kept at 68☏ (20☌), which for those of you who aren’t mice is the perfect mouse temperature. They could access limitless food via 16 food hoppers, accessed via tunnels, which would feed up to 25 mice at a time, as well as water bottles just above. The environment was designed to eliminate problems that would lead to mortality in the wild. In this study, he took four breeding pairs of mice and placed them inside a “utopia”. It was arguably one of the most influential experiments in the field of behavioral psychology, as it was primarily focused on discovering the effects of overcrowding in small spaces on animal behavior. Universe 25 experiment was a study conducted by American behaviorist John B. I think being able to reach this beauty within hours is a luxury.

Let me remind you it is just drive away from Baku. I would like you to see the beauty I am surrounded by. I was thinking about my own desire to come here, decided to deconstruct that “urge” & that string in my brain reminded me about a very historic experiment.īefore we move on with the experiment & solitude. In fact, I had not much plan with the screen-time, but you know how it goes, we keep bullshitting ourselves a lot. I haven’t written in a while & usually changes in scenery or routine pushes me to do so. Topped it off with an omelette, sliced cucumbers & freshly baked bread. It is hard to get an iced americano in rural places, however I managed to re-create one. I am accompanied by music when I feel let’s say “groovy” or by an app called “Endel” which is highly advised. Created myself a weekend getaway to the mountains, the need for integration with the nature kicked in. It is sunny enough to get a “mountain tan”, but cold enough to get real chilly during the walk to the car. Sounds of tires driving through the snow, distant dog barks, the whistle of the wind & fresh breeze of snowy mountains around.
