Using perpetual motion to power a light bulb
This is some kind of crazy idea, and I am not sure it would work. If someone has good knowledge of mechanics and thermodynamics, please read and tell me what you think about that.

Protecting indigeneous culture through languages
I think that a large part of culture and of the way of thinking of the people in an area is extremely strongly related to its language : the grammatical structure, the vocabulary, etc., it all makes you think differently.

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
