But a distinct flow of events shifted this practice of “little science” to the behemoth-sized “big science”. One of the main focuses and concerns of modern science lies in how to balance out these two methods of practice. While benefits and drawbacks seem to stem from both, proponents for either argument provide enough evidence…

China, as two of the largest nations in the world by land area, and the two largest by far by population. The BBC reports their shared border as being 2,520 miles long, which creates a lot of opportunities for border disputes between the two Asian behemoths.

An insulting fable concocted from my siblings that, when living in Hawaii while my father was shipped to go fight in Desert Storm, my mother had an affair with the neighborhood milkman.
