The Battle of Ideas: Exploring the Most Controversial Scientific Debates
Introduction Climate change is a pressing issue that has been at the forefront of global discussions for several years. It refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns and global temperatures, resulting in a wide range of impacts on ecosystems, economies, and human well-being. The debate surrounding its cause has been ongoing, with some arguing that it is a natural occurrence, while others believe that human activity is primarily responsible.

Earthquake Resilience in Kashmir Depends on Traditional Architecture.
Introduction Earthquakes pose significant threats to communities around the world, often resulting in devastating loss of life and infrastructure. In the scenic region of Kashmir, located in the Himalayan mountain range, earthquakes are a frequent occurrence due to its tectonic location. However, the traditional architecture of Kashmiri dwellings has remarkable resilience against seismic activity for centuries. This essay explores the key features of traditional Kashmiri architecture that contribute toIntroduction :

Weaire-Phelan Structure
The Weaire-Phelan structure has 0.3 percent less surface area than the Kelvin structure, which was thought to be the solution to the Kelvin problem since 1887 until a better solution (the Weaire-Phelan structure) was discovered by Denis Weaire at Trinity College Dublin using software which was modern in the early nineties. As part of his "experimentation", Denis Weaire visited the local bar with some bubble making instruments and investigated the bubble foam at the top glasses of beer. The software he used to make the calculations is called Surface Evolver. Designs using the Weaire-Phelan structure include a sculpture at Trinity College and the Beijing Water Cube. The insulation caused by the shape of the plastic cells helps to keep heat in the building. [1]
