Thinking about the Future

We often get so into-the-moment and busy with our every day life that we become extremely ignorant about our future and what it may be like after 5 years or even 50 years. In the past 100 years, almost all of us witnessed a rapid change in the world. We became a lot more advance…

State-of-the-art science

From BMW's new creations to Taxi Fabrics and even different charity systems that help the environment of the world. BMW recently launched an Electrified Wingsuit Flight.

We were given an in-depth informative and interesting lecture by him on one of his famous projects called "SpaceMosque" which he also puts under the term "Sci-fi Sufism".
