Edmond Hamilton’s story “The Man Who Evolved” is an exploration of what might occur in the chain of human evolution in the distant future. Despite a lack of actual science, or even actual scientific possibilities to back up the experiment presented, the story is considered an example of Science Fiction. The reasoning for this classification is that the story explores more than just evolutional possibilities. Hamilton presents a look at the reactions of un-evolved humans to the newly evolved Dr.…

As patients generally find Western medicine more scientific and convincing, they would be…

Every iconic story is basically the same thing. Successful and well-known stories, books, and movies all follow the path that was first laid out by the Epic of Gilgamesh. Joseph Campbell wrote out this path of thirteen steps in which every hero follows on his quest. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is no exception. Harry, the hero of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone follows the same steps that Gilgamesh, the hero of the Epic of Gilgamesh followed over 4,000 years ago. The first step…

Some people may understand wandering as a loss of direction, or meaning; whereas others see that those who wander may have a purpose. While in the act of wandering, people can learn many lessons including how to forgive the ones they have wronged, how important family and friends are, that riches and wealth aren’t the most important aspects of life, and to never…

Astronomy, the study of the universe, is said to be the oldest of the sciences. Ancient civilizations observed heavenly events such as the passage of days and nights and the phases of the moon. From ancient times until the Renaissance, astronomy was orientated on the most accurate description of motions of celestial bodies observed with the naked eye: stars, and mainly planets including the Sun and the Moon. One aspect of the sky which does not appear to change is the pattern of the stars.…

Imagine a magnificent creature that can be described as a typical crab, but isn’t. This crab seems to be more sophisticated. Most people wouldn’t think of the horseshoe crab, which dates back to about 400 million years ago, 200 million years before the dinosaurs existed. The horseshoe crab marvelous reign may come to an end because we are interacting with these fascinating creatures. Humans should not interact with these magnificent creatures because interacting with these creatures can cause…
