Something Beautiful
The author of the famous fourth-century book Tao Te Ching was an ancient Chinese legendary philosopher. He was highly influential at that time because of his spiritual knowledge and wisdom. Even the king at that time regarded him as his precious spiritual guide. His parents named him Le Aeir.

The Power of Imagination In Science
Imagination is one of the most crucial things that modern humans own. Like philosophy, science also originates in wonder. We find something odd, we ask questions about it, and then look for all the possible solutions or an appropriate explanation that can change the unexpected to expectable.

The Upcoming Space Missions Around The Lagrange Points
Any system of two massive, self-gravitating, and co-orbiting objects such as the Earth-Sun system or Earth-Moon system, produces five points of stability. Here the gravitational pull of both the objects balances each other and creates a small area that serves as a parking space for satellites and spacecraft missions. For some of those positions, even orbital corrections or control thrusters are not required. As well as there is low fuel consumption upon staying around those positions. These points are known as the Lagrange points or libration points or just L points.

An Awful Destiny of a Notable Scientist Ludwig Boltzmann
Here is a story of one of the victims of this world whose efforts radically changed several branches of physics. He is majorly known for his work in the development of statistical mechanics and the statistical description of the second law of thermodynamics. He was one of the most important advocates of atomic theory at the time when that scientific model was highly argumentative.

Meet these Six Outstanding Physicists who Never Received Nobel Prize
The Nobel prize was named after Alfred Bernhard Nobel, who was a Swedish chemist as well as engineer, born in Stockholm. In 1895, he signed his last testament and donated the majority of his wealth to establish the Nobel prizes, to leave behind a better legacy. These are awarded annually in the fields of physical sciences, chemistry, literature, and medical sciences/physiology in Stockholm, Sweden. While the peace prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway.
