As of the time I am writing this, the next day will be August 26th. This is Edward Witten's 66th birthday. Although, this may be published after that. I would like to write this article to thank Dr.Witten for his many aspiring contributions to Theoretical Physics.

Now you may be wondering who is Edward Witten or why do I care? Since I was around 10, I was always a fan of Dr.Witten. I started getting more into his books though as a teenager. My fascination in physics started young from the time of watching PBS's NOVA.

Today, Edward Witten is the literally one of the greatest Theoretical Physicist of the 21st century. His work is what led to M-Theory and a much bigger understanding of the origins of superstring theory, as well as unifying research in fields such as Quantum Gravity and entanglement.

Being able to understand hyperbolic space and topology is cool, but it also entails more then what meets the eye. This can lead to greater advancements in fields such as AI, Quantum Computing, Energy Storage, Nanotechnology, among others. Many people see it as just an understanding of natural phenomena. However, the higher we understand, the more we can innovate further. Scientific inquiry can lead us towards a more technologically modern civilization.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
