Gravity Slows Down The Flow Of Time
Close your eyes and envision a location suspended in the vast expanse of the universe. This is a place where the fundamental attributes of time exhibit behaviors that defy our conventional understanding. You might immediately conjure images of locales in proximity to black holes, where the very laws of physics and the fabric of space-time warp into unrecognizable and enigmatic phenomena. Or perhaps, your imagination leads you to places on the outermost fringes of the cosmos, where dark energy propels the boundaries of the universe to expand at speeds surpassing that of light. These are regions humans may never hope to explore, let alone comprehend what life might be like trillions of miles away from our Milky Way.

In early October of 1993, the American public was shocked to learn of dramatic events unfolding in the impoverished and war-torn country of Somalia, thousands of miles away. This event involved American troops in a city most Americans had never heard of - the Battle of Mogadishu, as it is referred to in American history books, occurred on October 3rd, 1993. It was one of the most intense urban battles for American forces since the Vietnam War two decades earlier. Despite suffering a significant number of casualties in just a matter of hours, the battle is considered a tactical success for U.S. forces. In the face of daunting odds, political constraints during the planning stage, and unforeseen mishaps, fewer than 100 American troops successfully held off more than 10 times their number of heavily armed hostiles who ambushed them with a barrage of bullets and rocket-propelled grenades.

A day in the life of a Roman soldier
In the year 15 CE, the Roman Empire is doing very well. Most of the credit for this success goes to the emperor, but it wouldn't have been possible without loyal soldiers like Servius Felix. Servius joined the army eight years ago when he was 18 years old. He came from a poor family. Unlike most soldiers, he doesn't gamble, so he saved most of his pay. He also kept three gold coins he received when he joined, which he'll get back if he serves for 25 years. He has a girlfriend back home whom he wants to marry, but he has to wait until he finishes his 25 years of service, which is tough and dangerous.

In the silent corners of the world, where human footsteps echo softly against the vast expanse of untouched nature, a heartbreaking symphony resounds. It is not the melody of joy and life, but a mournful dirge, an elegy composed by nature itself. This elegy weaves through the rustling leaves of dying forests, echoes across the barren lands once teeming with life, and reverberates within the anguished cries of creatures great and small. It is the lament of a planet in pain, the tears of Earth shed silently in the face of an escalating crisis – climate change.
