Back In Time Speed Of Light
829 wordsOften when I look at the stars when I'm in bed at night I shudder to think of my insignificance in the immensity of the Universe.

The distance of the Sun from the earth is about eight light-minutes whic...

Extra Terrestrial Mars Planet
455 wordsMy personal opinion I always wished that I would live long enough to witness the discovery of alien life on another planet. I guess a genie somewhere in this small world heard me and granted my wish, well sort of anyway.

Still, I wish that we would have found remains of an ancient ci...
