HISTORY With more than three million miles of highways and nearly a hundred and fifty thousand miles of railways covering American soil, transportation above ground has become increasingly congested. Tunnels provide some of the last available space for cars and trains, water and sewage, and even power lines. Today, it's safe to bore through mountains and burrow beneath oceans; however it was not always this easy. In fact, it took engineers thousands of years to perfect the art of digging tunnels

Boston’s Big Dig was a massive road infrastructure project planned to improve the flow of traffic, alleviating chronic congestion across Boston and the surrounding commuter areas, and to replace the outdated elevated Central Artery road that effectively split the city in half. The plan was to replace the Existing Central Artery, a crumbling elevated six-lane highway, with an extended underground highway, and a 14-lane two bridge crossing that would Extend Massachusetts Interstate 90 from its former

The Big Bang theory is a belief that the world began with a small singularity and began expanding over the next 13.8 billion years, to the cosmos that we are all familiar with today. Majority of the information about the Big Bang theory comes from mathematical formulas and models. In the first second after the universe started, the temperature which was

Whether they are black, white, hispanic, conservative, democratic, religious or nonreligious… everyone has a different opinion and we do not agree with one another. Religion is a pretty big topic today and people for centuries have been wondering who it was or what it was that created the world we live in.
