The Psychology of Traveling

The 21^st century is ready to be called the CENTURY OF TRAVEL. The form of travel in the past centuries was different but always present in one form or another. First it was to discover other lands to settle, than it was wars to capture other lands that seemed greener and fertile. The new discoveries speeded up the act of traveling and the desire of learning about new cultures, customs, and cuisine become so strong that traveling became a second nature for the citizens of the world. Regardless of the effects of the climate change, lack of security in certain destinations, the desire to travel grew. The world and its citizens wanted to come closer and know each other better.

 
This desire to travel exceeded its boundaries in itself and tourism became a force that can and could shape the future economic growth of the nations. The economic value of tourism grew with the increase of travel and started molding the social, economic, diplomatic relations and behavior of the nations. Distances came closer with fast trains, good roads, luxury cruises, and comfortable, wide-bodied aircraft. Travel/Tourism industry became the fastest-growing economic sector in the world. The new excitement and craze was Traveling to unexplored regions, living unexpected experiences. Tourism became the new  ism of this century, with dedicated followers of this travel cult.

When traveling your dimensions change, you jump into a totally different time zone. The hurries and worries can be left behind. There is hope in traveling of reaching to a destination that might change your life and bring unexpected happiness and pleasures making the life endurable. It is as if escaping from ones own prison. Freedom, mystery, challenge, fright, fulfillment are some of the defining words of travel that has given life to tourism.

21^st century is definitely the century of travel bringing prosperity to nations through the power of tourism that is and will shape further the future of nations that have the capacity to serve the demands of the traveling humans in all levels and situations.

Space for Nature

In September 2009 Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Rt. Hon Hilary Benn MP announced a review of England’s wildlife sites and ecological network. The ‘Space for Nature’ review panel, chaired by Professor Sir John Lawton, is exploring whether England’s collection of wildlife areas represents a coherent and robust ecological network that will be capable of responding to the challenges of climate change and other pressures. The review panel is currently gathering evidence and is due to report by June 2010.

Deep Sea Fishing - A 10 Point Article On The Exciting Pastime

There's nothing like deep sea nature fishing! First, there's the solitude and peace you find when you're out in the ocean with your best buds. Then there's the mental game, the strategy of finding, baiting, and winning the prize. It's a challenge where success can truly change the life of the fisherman. And failure is no failure at all - you've still had hours of peaceful, glorious communion with the mother of deep sea nature, the mysterious ocean.

The Nature of Space and Time: An Evening of Speculation

What is space? What is time? And how do we fit into it all? These are questions not only for physicists and mathematicians, but also for philosophers and theologians. The John Templeton Foundation has gathered together just such an eclectic mix of people for a public discussion entitled The Nature of Space and Time: An Evening of speculation to be held at Emmanuel College in Cambridge on the 7th of September 2006. The discussion panel for the evening comprises some very eminent names indeed: mathematician and Fields medallist Professor Alain Connes, Rev. Dr. Michael Heller from the Vatican Observatory, mathematicians Professor Shahn Majid and Sir Roger Penrose and theologian and physicist Rev. Dr. John Polkinghorne.

While we all have an intuitive understanding of space and time that is sufficient to get us through everyday life, when it comes to deeper questions about them one might expect to turn to physics. The two current fundamental theories of physics are general relativity and quantum mechanics. Whilst general relativity is extremely accurate for describing the universe on the macroscopic level and quantum mechanics similarly on the sub-atomic level, the two theories have never been united. Complications arise when one considers situations simultaneously involving both large mass scales and very small distance scales, currently described by general relativity and quantum mechanics respectively. In order to solve these problems, physicists have been searching for a theory combining the two — called quantum gravity — for several decades. Such a theory would not only give additional insight into how the universe began in the Big Bang, but also predict its ultimate fate.
