of Gravitational Waves, How Close Are We? Since the realization that the general theory of relativity predicts gravitational waves, there have been attempts to actually detect these waves. Indirect observations have been made that support their existence but no direct measurement. This paper gives a brief explanation of gravitational waves and discusses the current condition of the experimental search for gravitational waves. It deals with the

For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a refuge from the often harsh environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits. One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide—a key pollutant—and emit oxygen, which humans need to breathe. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide

theories that might be the cause of this mystery. From my point of view, we are in a period of intense seasonal meteor showers, and several YouTube users reported hearing sonic booms in the area that could have indicated a local shock wave. This would be one non-hidden, natural cause that actually makes sense, but it is hard to connect to both birds and fish, unless it produced a deactivating frequency. There were indeed other sound exceptions according to the report highlighted above

Tectonic Hazards: Earthquakes Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They don't just slide smoothly; the rocks catch on each other. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up. When

Knowledge as a Key to Wealth Googling and outsourcing are not merely buzzwords and popular terms of our times. They rather reflect technical and economic developments that have become a part of our daily lives. As information is available faster, this also changes the order of wealth. This aspect is, inter alia, discussed by Alvin and Heidi Toffler in their publication “Revolutionary Wealth”. But how does this new order of wealth differ from “familiar” economics? Is knowledge really the decisive
