Dunbar theorized that "this limit is a direct function of relative neocortex size, and that this in turn limits group size ... the limit imposed by neocortical processing capacity is simply on the number of individuals with whom a stable inter-personal relationship can be maintained." On the periphery, the number also includes past colleagues, such as high school friends, with whom a person would want to reacquaint himself if they met again.

Dunbar's number states the number of people one knows and keeps social contact with, and it does not include the number of people known personally with a ceased social relationship, nor people just generally known with a lack of persistent social relationship, a number which might be much higher and likely depends on long-term memory size.

By using the average human brain size and extrapolating from the results of primates, he proposed that humans can only comfortably maintain 150 stable relationships

UNIVERSE 25

While Calhoun was working at NIMH in 1954, he began numerous experiments with rats and mice.

During his first tests, he placed around 32 to 56 rodents in a 10 x 14-foot case in a barn in Montgomery County.

He separated the space into four rooms.

Every room was specifically created to support a dozen matured brown Norwegian rats.

Rats could maneuver between the rooms by using the ramps.

Since Calhoun provided unlimited resources, such as water, food, and also protection from predators as well as disease and weather, the rats were said to be in “rat utopia” or “mouse paradise,” another psychologist explained.

Universe 25 started out with eight mice, four males and four females.
By day 560, the mouse population reached 2,200, and then steadily declined back down to unrecoverable extinction.
At the peak population, most mice spent every living second in the company of hundreds of other mice.
They gathered in the main squares, waiting to be fed and occasionally attacking each other.
Few females carried pregnancies to term, and the ones that did seemed to simply forget about their babies.
They'd move half their litter away from danger and forget the rest.
Sometimes they'd drop and abandon a baby while they were carrying it.

A toast! Here's to killing hours or days on the computer. May we have fun, learn something and never want those hours back. Bottoms up.
