The possibilities of space exploration are unknown, but with the advancements that are to come interstellar travel is one of those possibilities. The propulsion systems these spacecraft are to be far more advanced that of what is in current use. As stated earlier if nuclear fusion is to be incorporated into propulsion systems the distance in which mankind is to travel throughout the universe would increase greatly. Instead of being able to reach Mars in two to three months, it could take only…

Several researchers have failed to find the relationship between MMR and autism. The evidence which they found is that the vaccine or thimerosal aren’t the substances…

symptomology. Other neural networks affected include the insular and cingular cortexes that can affect how intensely people feel emotions (Etkin, Egner, Kalisch ,2011).
