“I dwell in Possibility,” begins Emily Dickinson’s poem of the same name: “A fairer House than Prose” (1-2). That poetry is as beautiful and as powerful as its possibilities are unbounded is, in fact, intimated throughout the entirety of Dickinson’s poem; indeed, Dickinson almost seems to have written “I dwell in Possibility” entirely in response to a personal and remarkably fervent desire to see poetry being celebrated for its “numerous” merits and virtues (3).

Mediterranean shorelines and easily overtook many surrounding islands and coastlines, including Crete. The estimated wave height was 35 to 150 meters, and it has been deduced that 60 cubic km of materials were spewed from the volcano up to 35 km in the stratosphere, and covered the Middle East (Beverly N. Goodman-Tchernov, 2009). Santorini was torn apart with no survivors, who ran to the boats, while the towering waves decimated other lands, where people would run for high ground. Because of…

Atmosphere evolution on rocky planets Life on Earth, how is it possible? Why is it only Earth? This is a common question asked by many scientists around the world, and one which we may not find the answer to for a long while yet. It is very interesting to look at our own world, but what makes it so special? What about Mars and Venus? Our two closest neighbours, surely they could or could have held the possibility of life on their surfaces? It is very intriguing that even though these planets…

to stupefy the citizens so that they lack any semblance of recalcitrant vigor.“The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent….In principle the war effort is always so planned as to eat up any surplus that…

The word volcano typically brings to mind a mountain with fire spewing forth from the summit. Therefore, a “supervolcano” would be a massive fire breathing mountain but, this is not the case. Most of Yellowstone National Park and some of the surrounding area is a “supervolcano”.While some of the largest volcanic eruptions have come from Yellowstone, it is not the only place these “mega-eruptions” have occurred There have been “mega-eruptions” in Indonesia, Chile, New Zealand, Argentina, Japan…
