The space of Universe 25, much like a room, was about the size of a small storage unit where bright and healthy mice, hand picked from the institute's breeding stock were introduced to their Utopian world. He created a perfect Mouse Universe or a rat 'utopia' for the rodents : unlimited food and water, multiple levels, private nesting areas and a lush floor of shredded paper and ground corn cob. Calhoun spent years perfecting his methods and repeated his experiment 25 times, therefore known as "Universe 25". This study called "Universe 25" researched behavioural patterns of rodents as a grim model for the future of the human race.

Calhoun, analyses a series of experiments that were conducted to determine the desolate long term effects of overpopulation in rodents at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Some believe that Earth will be hit by a magnanimous asteroid and cause mass extinction in seconds, some suggest that our role in drastic climate change is what will take humanity down, some believe one nuclear war is enough to clear out the world's population, and some simply believe that a 'zombie' apocalypse is inevitable! As thrilling as the post apocalyptic films are that portray a dramatic ending to the species extinction, how about an actual study that outlines how humans may actually go extinct?Ī study undertaken from 1954 to 1972 by an American ethologist and behavioural researcher, John B. We have all pondered and discussed intense theories about how the world is going to end.
