The world is indeed enveloped with a lot of mysteries? And when you stumble upon a phenomenon you will be led to a lot of questions. Many sightings were recorded and most failed when examined thoroughly by the experts. Some of those mistaken as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) can be caused by occurrences taking place in the earth’s atmosphere.
The universe is so huge and there are gazillions of galaxies on it. Our earth is perhaps billions of times smaller than a dot in the universe and the things we know about it is just the tip of the iceberg. If you would look at the image of the universe and other heavenly bodies for sure you will be in awe with the explosion of shapes and colors of the planets, stars, meteors, asteroids and many many more.
Although it is a huge task to calculate age of the universe, it is not a remote possibility to estimate how old it is. By looking at the distant galaxies that moves away from us the scientist can able to measure the age of the universe. According to Encyclopedia of Questions and Answers the scientists estimate that our universe is 13 Billion years old and this is indeed a staggering number.
Vast expanse of the universe is immense and the galaxies on it may have scores of billions of stars and planets. There are also countless planets that are present in our galaxies and thus counting out that there are no other life forms aside from us is irrational. We didn’t still know yet the universe thoroughly well and in fact we didn’t even know even a very small fraction of it.
The advances in technology give us the opportunity to gradually learn about our universe. According to science there are extraordinary signals that the communications systems on earth intercepts, light can be sucked into the very mysterious black hole and time maybe subjected to distortion by ultra-fast space travel. But still, no one can prove that there is a form of life outside our planet much more entities that according to fiction movies are very intelligent and may look horrible to us.
Astronomers employ telescopes to look for messages emanating from civilizations outside the earth. In the early 60’s the scientists was been able to pick series of radio pulses but it turned out to be quasars.

Perhaps one of the most popular theories that exist especially in the textbooks used in schools state that the Universe was made in an instant in just one massive explosion. All matter was packed together into a tiny, super-hot, solid ball that is said to be tinier than an atom. The ball gets bigger and bigger and when it suddenly cools down it detonated discharging off energy and matter all over the place.
It is difficult to prove the validity of this theory since this could’ve taken place billions of years ago and of course it will difficult to implement scientific method with it since undergoing an experiment will be impossible.
Theories will forever theories and it is difficult to believe in such since it is not yet proven.
The universe is expanding and growing bigger and bigger as the galaxies moves away from one another as the Universe spreads out.
The friction between the East and West developed after the Second World War caused the so-called Cold War.

The Vietnam War started in 1957, and like in the Korean War, the United States of America sided with its ally this time with South Vietnam against aggression coming from the North Vietnam. The USSR or Soviet Union supported the Communist North.
The United States which is equipped with modern military advancements and formidable firepower was overwhelmed by the guerilla warfare set up by the resourceful and dreadful peasant army. It is quiet difficult to deal with hidden and well camouflaged enemies and as a result the Americans finally pulled out its military backing in the South in 1975. Without the United States South Vietnam eventually succumbed to North Vietnam.
The United States which boasts of a formidable arsenal cannot be able to cope up with the tactics and stratagems dished out by a smaller country which is the North Korea.
The Germany was then divided into East and West Germany. The East Germany is backed up by the Soviet Union whilst the West was supported by the Allies led by the United States. Though Berlin was in the Soviet’s territory of the annexed Germany, the Allies have taken control of a part of it. The Soviets rail against the presence of the Allies’ presence and as a result they isolated their zone from the Western principles.
In 1961, the Soviets, built a wall around the entire of the Berlin’s western region, to segregate the East Germans from the West Germans.
The wall eventually became bigger and was surrounded with barbed wire, minefields and fortified guards. The Soviets endeavored to remove West Berlin’s supply paths, to encourage the Western Allies to go away. Instead of bucking down the Allies provided supply to the beleaguered city by air until the Soviet blockade stopped.
History was made in 1989, as the East Germans opted to reject Communist rule and the Berlin Wall that once divided the city was destroyed by the Germans.
In the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) or simply the Soviet Union took control of almost every facet of the people’s lives here. But when the people are slowly sensing that their way of life is becoming inferior compared with that of the other countries they clamor for changes. In 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev eventually became a party leader and made a dramatic history by triggering the process called perestroika which also means reformation.
People from all walks of life here which are hungry for reforms and economic developments were allowed to take part in political activities and allow people to operate their own businesses. Another historic event commenced, as Gorbachev paved the way for the glasnost which means openness and eventually permitted the people to express themselves without any restrictions.
Gorbachev went on to become a USSR president, but a coup ousted him at the helm of his regime one year later. When Gorbachev ascended into power he made the activities of the Communist Party forbidden. In 1991, the Soviet Union eventually get dismantled as it is divided into 11 republics.
The Korean War occurred in 1950 when North Korea, which is backed up by the Communist Chinese rule, attempted to conquer South Korea, which was supported by the United States. For the first time ever, the United Nations interfered by virtue of making a military action.
The war transpired, but neither cannot pull trough with a decisive victory, in other words the battle was stalemate. Eventually a truce was stated in 1953, and both sides picked off what started. To date, there is still war between the two countries in principle, though there were no serious attack that materialized for the past several decades.
