Walking barefoot is a great way to reconnect back with “mother earth.” When you walk barefoot on the grass, beach, mud or soil, you not only physically connect with the earth, but you also improve your health. It’s like a reflexology and yoga session for your feet, all rolled into one. An investigation into earthing (walking barefoot on the earth) found that earthing helps red blood cells decrease clumping, which decreases the viscosity of the blood, which in turn decreases the risk of heart…

When I think of my personal happiness I think of myself living a pleasing life, having a career with a great income, being wealthy and teaching my kids the right way to do something and not the wrong. Being nice and considerate of other people will take you a long way in life. But everyone’s definition of happiness does not consist of the same thing. Someone else’s definition of happiness could be to grow old with their significant other and move far away to a secluded, private island drinking…

In late 1939, Albert Einstein and Leo Szilard, two world-renowned physicists, brought to light a new technology that could change the act of war: nuclear fission. Scientists now had the ability to split an atom’s nucleus and trigger an extremely destructive explosion. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, hesitant at first, agreed to the creation of The Manhattan Project with the goal of harnessing the newly found power source and developing a nuclear weapon. The United States had finally entered…

physicist that helped work on the bomb, said in an interview after the bombs were dropped, “We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, ‘Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all thought that, one way or…

Throughout life, we’ve become more and more invested in science, exploring the things we could do. Yes, we can do certain things, but should we? Sure, science has helped us throughout the ages, science has saved us, but it also destroyed us. There are some things we should not create, that we shouldn’t do. Oppenheimer and his co-workers crossed that line 70 years ago. When they changed the world as they knew it. When they dropped their creation, their weapon; the atomic bomb. During WWII,…

History of the Problem Women’s rights issues have been prominent in society since the beginning of American civilization. Over the centuries, women’s liberty movements and government laws have been acted upon, and women have been given rights they previously did not have. However, although people would consider that women are equal to men today, this is not the case.
