United States and science


  The United States is currently the leader in technological research and innovation for almost a hundred and fifty years from now.

  The US has encouraged creativity and free thinking in order to develop new technologies some examples of the US’s top inventors and projects are:

Benjamin Franklin: understanding of electricity  

Thomas Alva Edison: The incandescent light bulb

Robert Goddard: rocket’s propulsion systems



Robert Oppenheimer:

Enrico Fermi

Edward Teller

Hans Bethe                                   Manhattan project

Richard Feynman

John von Neumann



  An important thing in this matter is that US’s constitution promotes scientific research and develop. An example is that the congress has the power “to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries”. Technological research has been one of the most important aspects of this nation and this age. For that we are thankful and proud.

The People Next Door (Ending) 

Suddenly I heard voices again. I tried to escape from there, I tried to move and scream, but I couldn’t, some kind of force was stopping me. “Don’t worry everything is going to be fine,” one of the voices said to me. It was a men’s voice. “It’s been 20 years since it happened,” this voice was different, like a women’s voice. “This house is haunted” I thought, maybe Budd and Shirlee are actually dead and they are trying to talk to me. I was terrified. I wanted to cry and yell, but again I couldn’t. I was paralyzed my body was frozen.

“Death” that was my only thought. Death and Roy, my life was ending and there was nothing I could do. “She is stable, but she will never be the same. Her brain was destroyed after she saw her husband and kids being murdered” a third voice said. I finally recognized the first two voices, but it was impossible. They were Budd and Shirlee and they were taking about me and my family. I’m a vegetable and my husband and kids are dead. It’s like a nightmare and I can’t wake up. I’m trapped in my thoughts, my dreams, my mind, my hell.
