first action towards any discussion with regards to the planets sustainability and what can be done to improve such a controversial issue; whether it is a discussion with another person‚ an interview on the television‚ or just an article I have come across in a newspaper or magazine it has always seemed easier to distance myself from the issue rather than come to terms with the fact that the way in which I live my life and how I treat the planet with the things that I buy and use could be contributing

In the Alien from earth‚ I believe that a completely new type of species was discovered that is at most a distant cousin to humans. Because they resemble humans in the way they look and the way they move around‚ use tools‚ hunt‚ etc.‚ it is easy to try to fit them into our human evolutionary time line. Because we are seeing the world through our own perspective‚ the first thing to do is see all that is similar and decide where that fits in relation to us. I believe there are many reasons to think

Forbidden Planet is probably the best science fiction movie made in the 1950s and for good reason. William Shakespeare’s The Tempest inspired the entire basis for the story and characters. Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright from the 16th century‚ and generally regarded as the greatest writer in the English language. It is no wonder that the inspiration for the movie Forbidden Planet remains fresh and exciting to watch as it was over 60 years ago. Forbidden Planet is a story about an

Earth with No Moon A world with no moon would be much different without the Moon. Without the moon‚ Earth would be greatly different. The length of the day would be different‚ the origins of life on Earth would be slowed‚ and the biological evolution of life on Earth would vary greatly.

The Earth without the moon would have a day that

Plant for Planet It was a bright autumn afternoon. A flock of birds were chirping; the sun was glowing like a disk of gold. But neither the sound nor the sight was affecting me. I was standing numb beside my window with a blank look‚ watching the best companion of my childhood falling over with every strike of a cruel axe. There was a mango tree beside my house. I grew up seeing this tree‚ which was also growing every year. It could be seen from my bed‚ so when I used to wake up in the

Mercury is extremely hot‚ has a large core‚ and is heavily cratered with strange scarps. Because Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun‚ its temperature is quite high even though it is not high enough to melt common metals. Its mean density is quite high for its size‚ and that is due to its large‚ iron filled core. Along with being heavily cratered‚ Mercury also contains strange scarps from the pressure of the cooling and heating of Mercury‚ since there is no atmosphere to hold the heat or coolness
