The Social Impact of Genetic Manipulation

About a hundred thousand years ago, the first ‘modern Humans’ appeared on Earth. We, like all species, have been on an evolutionary roller coaster, and the ride is endless, or so it seems.

Telescopes: The Future of Our Eyes in the Sky

What lies beyond earth? This question has beguiled us for ages. An interest in the cosmos started developing with the birth of philosophy itself, but there wasn't much early man could do about it.

The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Is Helping

We may be an intelligent species, but we're no wise civilisation. Humans have witnessed more conflicts agreements, and have been scarred by the horrors of warfare for almost the entirety of our existence.

Quest for Immortality: The War Against Ageing

Immortality isn't a feeling meant for human experience. There's literature that gives you very rosy pictures - when you see the sun set in the ocean, you do feel immortal. When you see the brightest of stars in the vast black sky, you do feel immortal. But back to reality though - ageing, and by…

Will Google Cure Death?

Put aside philosophy and think in biological terms - the purpose of life is to reproduce. Every species exists only to further its kind. Since every organism must eventually die, there's got to be some way of preserving the species. That's the core process of reproduction. But why not have a single organism live forever instead?

The Hyperloop will Revolutionise Transporation

Big ideas that are aesthetically pleasing and tickle people’s intellectual sensibilities, while instilling a sense of wonder at the same time, are not something we come across every day. When they are brought forth, they are first received with sneers, inhibitions, and great amounts of disbelief. This is generally the chain of events that occur…
