Leave a trace.
The window is open. The chilly, rain-drenched breeze hasn’t stopped all night. The messy bed. The exhausted laptop. The unlocked wardrobe.

But with time, a person grows accustomed to so many things.

A mysterious signal, lasting just 72 seconds, was detected—brief, powerful, and unlike anything heard before. It came from the Sagittarius constellation and carried a strength far above the usual background noise. The astronomer on duty, Jerry Elman, so astonished by the clarity of the transmission, circled the signal's reading on the computer printout and wrote a single word beside it: “Wow!”

10 Scientific Facts Found in Ancient Indian Texts Centuries Before Modern Discovery
10 Scientific Facts Found in Ancient Indian Texts Centuries Before Modern Discovery Long before Newton dropped his apple and Einstein bent space-time, the ancient sages of India were penning down ideas that today’s scientists are only beginning to understand. Hidden in the verses of texts like the Rigveda, Sushruta Samhita, and Bhagavata Purana are shockingly accurate descriptions of scientific phenomena—ranging from gravity and atomic theory to surgical procedures and time dilation. While often dismissed as mythology or philosophy, these texts are treasure troves of forgotten knowledge.

LOUIS LEAKEY'S CONTROVERSIAL LEGACY
Despite having a meticulous 1400-page work about the Kikuyu people written, Jomo Kenyatta beat Louis Leakey by having the first Kikuyu ethnographic book Facing Mount Kenya, printed in 1938. As a PhD holder, Leakey could not help but hold resentment for Kenyatta who was now a published author (without even having a degree) while his own magnum opus gathered dust in a safe. Leakey was considered by many others but mostly himself as the expert on Kikuyu knowledge. Its as though he owned that knowledge and it was only his to disseminate. In fact, Leakey believed Kenyatta had plagiarized some of his material on circumcision rites without acknowledgement.

Why the Israel philistine
After World War II, Jews began to return to their old homeland in Palestine. They were supported by several countries, including Britain and America. However, from the beginning, there was no peace with the local Arab Muslim community. In the meantime, the Jews decided to form an independent 'safe' country. In 1947, the year British rule in India ended, Palestine was also under British rule. The United Nations decided that the territory of Palestine would be divided between Arabs and Jews. On the other hand, Jerusalem would be under the rule of an impartial international authority. Naturally, Jewish leaders were happy with this plan. It was said that 56 percent of the land would be given to the Jews. The Arab League rejected this proposal.
