Learn about the fundamental building blocks of our universe, their amazing properties and the impact of this on lives today. The concepts derived from Quantum Mechanics, the study of the behaviour of the fundamental particles and energies of nature , have been imperative in the shift in understanding of our universe from one of determinism to uncertainty, probability and observation - where objects can no longer be measured exactly but exist throughout Space and Time. We have looked into Black H …

Largely unknown on our planet in this year of 2013 is the fact that the process of living is knowable, predictable, understandable, and logical while it fulfills all of the natural instincts, abilities, longings, desires and dreams we as humans can create. There is a standard by which we must live in order to know truth. Life must be lived by following the a priori rules that we are designed to know as common sense. These are neither cumbersome or burdensome but are in some ways contrary to our …
