Each year, scientists, researchers and everyday make incredible discoveries, helping us better understand the world around us. Some of the most interesting discoveries are those that get revealed by military insiders. After all, they're the ones who know about upcoming projects, and some of these projects are so futuristic that they don't seem rooted in reality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
As much as we would love to live in an ideal world where everyone learns from history, there is nothing more valuable than learning from our mistakes.
The best way to learn how to do something correctly is to actually experience it.
The biggest mistake you can make is not ensuring that it goes right the first and only time.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. That means you've learnt a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
When you're open with yourself, you will see that your failures are not failures. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Take advantage of them.
And then try again.
What is the greatest thing about history?
This question is not easy to answer. Learning is about three things. First, knowledge is power. We must also recognize the fact that knowledge is cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. Because it empowers people to make better decisions. We wouldn't have any problems making decisions if we had perfect information. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. This means that we add knowledge to our brains every time we learn something. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now look at the third. Knowledge isn't static. Knowledge is ever-changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. There are always new discoveries.
Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. Technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in digital form and share it among millions of people worldwide.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization is the process by which ideas and products spread across borders. Globalization means that knowledge is accessible anywhere.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. You can surf the internet, read books, listen to music and play video games. All these activities require knowledge.
Although knowledge is becoming easier to access, it is also becoming more specific. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These websites offer information on almost every topic you can think of.
If you want to buy a car online, however, you will likely only find a few dozen websites that provide automotive-related services. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
This is because experts can create and share valuable information in their particular fields. Experts often have deep knowledge of a field. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
Because they don't have to look through tons of unimportant information, this is a good thing for consumers. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He wants to be sure that the author understands what he is trying to communicate.
An expert who does not specialize risks losing out to potential customers who expect him be knowledgeable.
The scope of specialization doesn't stop at one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. A specialist could be an accountant. However, we are likely to be parents, spouses, friends and fans.
Experts agree that it is impossible to succeed in one area without being skilled in another.
So how can you become an expert across multiple fields? It's simple: practice. It's necessary to work hard to learn. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Nowadays, there are entire industries devoted to helping others achieve this goal. Many courses, workshops and seminars, as well as schools, teach how to quickly gain knowledge.
What are three things you can learn from history?
There are plenty of examples from history that show how we can learn lessons from our mistakes. We can apply them to today's business challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth.
We have learned from the past that there are always other ways to do things. There is always someone who thinks out of the box and takes risks to make themselves stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they won.
Learn from the past and use the lessons to improve your future. Learn from others' failures and successes.
These lessons will help improve your success rate.
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
Because we keep repeating the same mistakes, history repeats itself. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. They cannot be changed.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. The ability to question authority. By challenging assumptions. When we do not question, we stagnate. We stagnate when we don’t grow. When we stagnate we make the same mistakes again and again.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. There is no set in stone. Everything is constantly changing.
The key to breaking the cycle of uncertainty is acceptance. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
You must let go if you want to be free. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps was the man who built the Suez Canal. His goal was to connect Europe with Asia. To accomplish this, he had to build a canal through the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), to allow ships from Europe and Asia to reach India/China. This involved the construction of several locks, dams and tunnels. He traveled to Egypt several times and negotiated financing with Khedive Ismail Pasha. He returned to France and found that Napoleon III was dead. The Second Empire had taken over the project. It took him three more years before the French government approved funding the project. After the British had been defeated at the Battle Of Omdurman during Sudan War, 1859 saw them sign a treaty which allowed them to enter the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. It was completed in 1869.
This project opened up trade routes and increased international commerce. It led to the development in many countries, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
In addition, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel much quicker than before. It used to take weeks or months for people to cross the Isthmian Peninsula before it was constructed. Now it takes just days. People could visit places like Paris, London, Rome, and Constantinople without going through long sea voyages and dangerous storms. The Suez Canal cut the distance between North America to Europe by nearly 3000 miles. This made it easier to move back and foreward. These features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
But the Suez Canal was also problematic because it divided up the Ottoman Empire, which eventually led to World War I. During the war the British used Suez Canal in an attack on Germany. But the Germans attacked Britain using their canal version. After the end of the war, the Suez Canal came under Egyptian control, although the British still controlled the land on either side of it.
After the Second World War the Suez Canal remained a vital part of global commerce until the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. Both sides didn't want to fight each other initially, as they were afraid the other might use force. Israel took over the Sinai peninsula of Egypt from Egypt in 1967. In that year, all shipping except military vessels was prohibited from the Suez Canal. The closure lasted four years until President Sadat reopened the canal to civilian traffic in 1973.
