A list of paradoxes
Everyone has noticed at some point in their lives that the longer we live, the more we wait for life to begin. And the more we measure time, the less we have it. This is equal to the…
Explaining things is undoubtedly innate to modern man and therefore nearly all key issues of humanity are related to explaining one way or another. Maybe that is why various ethical and philosophical groups, non-profit organizations, churches and scientific communities have tried to…
