39、ous sight. This energy is in effect a form of information, nature's bar code telling us how healthy that attitude is, because health-bringing things increase the likelihood that we and our genes will survive.Harvard phychologist Nancy Etcoff observes that, with this vital equation very much in m

40、ind, our brains behave like a highly sensitive radar constantly hunting a signal. If we're shown the photograph of a face, it takes us less than a fifth of a second to make a judgement of its beauty.Much of the language of this energy is hard-wired and universal. Even three month-old babies have

41、 been shown to prefer gazing at conventionally beautiful faces, and adults from diverse ethnic cultures can all agree on who is exactly how good-looking in other populations.Experimental studies have also established that the active ingredients include symmetry, order, proportion and balance.

44、animously praised for its extraordinary beauty.Yale's David Gelernter, a professor of computer science, has argued convincingly that "lust for beauty" has driven the great technological discoveries. It is no accient, he would claim, that Mitchell's Spitfire, with its Merlin engines

45、 and distinctive wings, could help win a war while also seeming wonderful to the eye and ear.And just as the plan for a bank robbery, a bridge, or a computer program can all work beautifully, so can a whole personality. We know from the studies of many lifetimes that humans find a balance of loving and confidence and kindness and hum
