For example, Patrick felt shocked because Patrick had no idea what he had expected when he had arrived on the scene.

    During the seventy-three years since Amelia Earhart had “vanished into thin air” many theories have emerged about how and where the famous pilot died. According to some researchers, new discoveries on the Pacific island of Nikumaroro may bring us closer than ever to the discovery of what might’ve happened to her. Amelia Earhart’s daring flight around the world was cut short when her plane, the Lockeed Electra, disappeared over the Pacific Ocean on June 2, 1937. Shortly after, rescue workers began scouring the area for signs of her and her navigator, Fred Noonan.

    Air travel is nowhere near comfortable. A message from Dr. Florence Thomson written in response to an article published in The British Medical Journal in 1953 was, “most passengers are quite unable to rest in comfort in the position allowed, and sleep is quite impossible except in very short snatches” (996). In 2016, nothing changed for the better in this regard; CNN recently published an article about the disruptive passengers in flights and incidents of air rage in airplanes (McKirdy). What did change significantly is what comes before boarding the airplane. It has been 15 years since that horrifying day in September 2001.…

    As if flying cars were the future in the past, we are now looking at the possibility of giving birth to children with the genetic codes that we have chosen. This gives us new goals for our future as well as a new direction for us to point our technology to. A world with designer babies would be very much different than our present one. With designer babies we open the possibility of having a chance at finding life outside of earth, advance in our technology, which would even introduce the chance at flying cars, or even help poor families earn money through their children. Outlook on life would be different, however, it would be seen as a competition rather something to enjoy.…

    The Bermuda Triangle: Pseudoscience? Coined by philosopher, Karl Popper, ‘Pseudoscience’ is a term that is prevelant and used to describe theories or even fields of study that appear scientific but are not authentically so. Much like scientific claims or theories, pseudoscientific ideas also stem from curiosity of the humankind. They tend to use seemingly scientific jargon to rationalize concepts but are often scarcely refutable and are devoid of experimentation and evidence. This essay aims to bring out the flaws in pseudoscientific claims through the example of the Bermuda Triangle and demonstrate how and why this concept is not scientific. For many years together, the mysterious disappearance of ships, planes and even two nuclear submarines in and over the region popularly called the Bermuda Triangle (or the Devil’s Triangle) has fiddled with human curiosity and compelled our race to make repeated attempts at unravelling this mystery.…
