There is a difference between knowing something and being able to see what might come next. Knowledge gives people facts, experience and established ways of understanding the world. Imagination works in a less certain space, where an idea can be considered before there is evidence to prove whether it will work. Albert Einstein often spoke…
Evidence of the oldest life on Earth has been discovered in India. In recent scientific findings in eastern India, biological traces buried for almost 3.5 billion years were revealed. The revelation suggests a much more distant and organic origin for the planet.The samples were taken from the Singhbhum geological block, which preserves cellular remains trapped…
