The Origins Of Humans. The Origins of Humans. The question of where humans originated has been a pressing question for a very long time. There are many explanations, mythical, scientific and religious, but nobody can know exactly where we came from for a few reasons.

The Right To Live Euthanasia is a very controversial subject today and not an easy one for most people to take a stance on, but I believe the direct action of another person to kill someone else is never acceptable, even when the victim is asking for it. Euthanasia can be divided up into several categories. Active euthanasia, which is most commonly debated over, involves a physician or

The Speed Of Light Using the world's largest telescope, the 30-foot-wide Keck Telescope in Hawaii, a team of experimentalists led by John Webb of the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, observed patterns of light absorption in the gas clouds that could not be explained without assuming a change in a basic constant of nature called the fine structure constant. The fine str
