Thomas had no idea why he was still out in the cold. The larger moon shining on the snow covered field illuminated no approaching enemy. Not that anyone in their right mind would be out marching in weather like this. Cold winds blew drifts of snow around, and occasional flurries still fell over the borderlands. Skirmishes were a summertime activity anyway. Winters were for sitting around a fire telling stories about attacks and counter attacks. Not for trudging through snow drifts in order to cross a nearly frozen river.

The Artist died without friends or family to bid him farewell as he passed into the other place, but it was not a sad affair. He was not alone, because until the very moment of his death, he had me.

I at least was there to hold him close as he was unbound from his mortal coil. You see, I am familiar with boundaries of all kinds, of crossings between here and there. I am an idea, a genius.

The introductory chemistry states that diamond is the hardest substance. Then, there was a series of facts that spoke about the difference between metals and non-metals. One of the primary differences used to state is the metals being harder due to their electron configuration. However, among the metals, sodium has proven its softness as it cuts even with a knife. To make sure that these metals can be handier, scientists have tried to go for several metal hardening techniques to make them stronger and more durable. Recently, scientists and researchers from Brown University have devised a new method to harden metals using nanoparticles. It can be a groundbreaking methodology in the domain of metallurgy. Let’s understand how they did, what this method means to humanity, etc.

These famous words were said by Harvard Psychologist Timothy Leary in 1966. In the following year, Harvard. In the following year, he gathered 30.000 hippies in Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco to start new counterculture revolution.

Religion is a funny thing, I think. In the last few years, I have been losing my religion and gaining an awareness of increasing intensity at a rate that was at first profound and is now slightly tapering off in a way I never knew it could or would go. Let me explain.

In a world where opinion is worth it’s weight in gold, and the only substance that remains lies without the on-screen pseudo-reality in the rarity of the masked face-to-face encounters of humanity, the online voices thunder with category-five forces into a mesh of contrived insanity.

The Star Wars galaxy is full of a lot of monstrous creatures. The dianoga from the garbage smasher from the original film looks comparatively quaint compared to the gigantic exogorth (or "space slug") in the asteroid belt in The Empire Strikes Back. And as we come to find out in The Phantom Menace, "There's always a bigger fish." On television, we have seen the Godzilla-inspired Zillo Beast in The Clone Wars animated series and the sandworm-esque Krayt Dragon in The Mandalorian live-action series. And the creatures do not just remain in the onscreen media; they extend to other materials as well, such as the comics.
