Psalms 90:4 For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night. Jeremiah 33:25-26 Thus says the Lord, 'If My covenant for day and night stand not, and the fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have not established , then I would reject the descendants of Jacob and David My servant..” Einstein's theory of special relativity, published in 1905, revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and motion. It's built upon two fundamental postulates: The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion. The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of the motion of the light source. These seemingly simple postulates lead to profound consequences, which have been rigorously tested and confirmed by numerous experiments. Here are some of the major experiments that provide compelling evidence for special relativity: 1. The Michelson-Morley Experiment: This experiment, conducted in...

Book review: "The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West" explores the complex interplay between technological advancement, societal values, and geopolitical power, particularly within the context of the Western world. It posits that the West's future hinges on its ability to navigate the challenges posed by its own technological prowess and the shifting landscape of global influence. The concept of a "Technological Republic" suggests a society deeply intertwined with technology, where technological innovation shapes not only material progress but also social structures, political discourse, and individual identities. This intertwining creates a unique form of "hard power," where technological superiority translates into military, economic, and informational dominance. The West, historically at the forefront of technological development, has leveraged this hard power to maintain its global position. Howe...
