  8. Is there another universe out there?

    Stephen Hawkings, or as I call him, The Original Siri, recently gave an interview to the BBC. In this interview, he said that scientists should further investigate M-theory, a theory stating that the universe containing Earth is only one of many out there. M-theory is powerful not only because it allows for the existence of other universes, but also because it would essentially debunk the Big Bang Theory. A new image taken by NASA (seen above), seems to support Hawkings&rsquo; claim. <a href="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2012/06/image-of-the-day-evidence-of-a-past-universe-circular-paterns-in-the-cosmic-microwave-background-.html" target="_blank">The Daily Galaxy</a>, who are much smarter than me, explain:

  10. Essay: Speaking out for humanity

    By the time the bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought an end to World War II in 1945, an estimated 65 million to 75 million civilians and soldiers were dead.
