From a Child to an Adult, there is an important thing that always shout out from your brain. That things is "Question". What, when, why, how etc. always shake you inside to find something new you see during your life and of course every question has an answer. This section has been created to enhance the knowledge of not only children but also for persons of any age. Why does it become dark in the evening? How do high and low tides occur? Who invented writings? How did Romans live? People generally look for answers to all these questions.
Present time is like a stream where we focus on technology but there are very basic things that we miss during schools or college because there is always something practical lacking in education system. A few people remember of focus. This section answers all these questions competently. This section helps people gain knowledge and understand complex situations in the world. We have divided this section into 8 different parts to cover most.
Wonders all around: many natural phenomena occurring in the depths of outer space and on the earth fascinates us. Red, glowing lava streams erupt from volcanoes. Earthquakes make the ground tremble and shake. Cyclones sweep over Oceans and land, causing untold suffering to human beings and animals. The earth is the only planet in our solar system that has life on it. We have not yet visited the other planets, but we have sent controlled probes to explore them. These probes have radioed back pictures of these planets to us. Our Solar system is a small part of Milky way, which in turn, is small part of a much larger universe!
Deer, bears, salmons, pelicans, elephants, oaks, cacti, algae, lichens-any list illustrating the huge diversity of species on the Earth is inevitably an unending one. Many animals and plants inhabit our gardens; other live on high mountains or in colorful shimmering coral reefs. All of them have adapted to their environment in order to survive. This is all the more true in the case of animals that live in deserts or in extremely cold regions. Unfortunately, we are increasingly destroying the habitats of animals. On the one hand, we are clearing forests and polluting seas and coastal areas. On the other hand, we are trying to protect the environment by recycling waste, building national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, and launching breeding programs in zoos.
We feel forces of nature when storms carry the roofs of houses away or when high tides rip bridges apart. We can not control them. However, we can use them for our benefits. For example, the power of wind and water is use to generate electricity. These forces help us save energy. We should be very careful in making use of them because it may effect other processes of nature.
About 2500 years ago, the world as known as Europeans included Europe, North Africa and today's Pakistan in the east till the Indus river. The Europeans had no idea of the world outside Europe. When the European Kings heard about the treasures of the east from the traders, they sent sailors on expeditions to find out more about the unknown world. America was discovered, Africa was researched and new trading routes were found to bring back the spices of South-east Asia. As technology advanced, the trading goods were transported across different parts of the world not just by ships, but also by trains or aircraft.
Our ape ancestors could not do what today's climber can! They did not have the dexterity and the capability to stretch their bodies fully. Our body works like a find-tuned machine. The brain sense dangers with all five senses, interprets them, and reaches a decision. Muscles and joints obey the commands that come from the brain. Everybody gets roughly the same abilities at birth. The extent to which we use them is up to us. People achieve different things according to their abilities and their interests. After all, not everyone wants to becomes a professional athlete!
Communication can be very easy. It could be sharing an iPod to listen to music together or just smiling at someone. we also communicate with one another face to face. We write letters and emails or use telephone or mobile phones. What is so easy for us today was not an easy task earlier. Messages were sent via messengers or riders, through smoke signals or drums. Today, we can send robots to other planets and control them from the Earth. We can film anything, and the pictures come to our living room via satellite. It is incredible that all these developments took place only in last 100 years.
For many people, history is dry and boring; it smells of dust settled on old books in libraries. However, history can be very exciting. It is very important to know a lot about the past because by doing so we can understand today's world better. It is not as important to learn the dates and the years of events as it is to understand the cause of such events. History then becomes very interesting , no matter whether you are learning about ancient Egypt or Chine, the Roman Empire or the Persian wars. It is also interesting to know why so much knowledge of earlier times was forgotten in the medieval ages. After the medieval period, everything developed at very fast pace- the industry, weapons, and so on. Wars occur even today as they used to occur in earlier times.
Living together with other people is not easy. We often fight and do not want to work on the assigned tasks. But nothing can be accomplished without a division of work and following rules. Bigger the groups, the better they must be organized. Different people perform different functions at the same time. Farmers plough the land, wearvers weave cloth, teachers train childern, etc. Each person has an assigned task and if he/she does not do it, nothing is possible. In our leisure time, we do what we like- we can play, go to a concert or devote our time to our religion. What is important to remember here is that we must always pay attentions to our fellow human beings and their rights.
