The Mysteries of Science

Introduction

As I write this essay, I am over whelmed by what human beings can accomplish given time and space. As I look through my window, planes are flying over smoke that lazily ascends from the industries beneath them; vehicles fill every available space along the streets as the news report another successful rocket launch on its mission to the Mars. If only the views of the unborn mind could be trusted, I would have been born centuries earlier. In the current world that is driven by fear over global climate changes, global warming, global economic recession, global terrorism amidst a host of many other global concerns, I may not help but burry my head in the peaceful moments only experienced by the dinosaurs’ age.

The international nuclear disarmament program and combined efforts to mitigate on global climate change are steps towards the right direction, though many nations continue to deny their guilt in making the world an inhabitable place.
