TAJ MAHAL

Note: Wikipedia

1. The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned 1628-1658), to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The tomb is centerpiece of a complex nearly 17 hectares (42 acres) in area, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall. Construction of the mausoleum was essentially completed in 1643 but work continued on other phases of the project for another 10 years. The construction project employed some 20,000 artisans under the guidance of a board of architects led by the court architect to the emperor, Ustad Ahmad La hauri

THOMAS EDISON

NOTE: Wikipedia

1. Born February 11, 1847 Milan, Ohio, U.S. Died October 18, 1931 (aged 84) West Orange, New Jersey, U.S. Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the longlasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed “the wizard of Menlo Park,” he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory. He held 1,093 U.S. patents in his name.

THOROUGHFARE

1. a way through or passage through
2. a public street open at both ends; esp., such a street through which there is much traffic; highway; main road

TRANSITION

1. a) a passing from one condition, form, stage, activity, place, etc. to another b) the period of such passing
2. a word, phrase, sentence, or group of sentences that relates a preceding topic to a succeeding one or that smoothly connects parts of a speech or piece of writing
3. Music a) a shifting from one key to another; modulation; esp., a brief or passing modulation b) an abrupt change into a remote key c) a passage connecting two sections of a composition

Transition Example:
In the early 1900’s, a man by the name of Max Planck came along with his theory of quanta. The scientist believed up until that time that all energy was of an electronic form. In other words, there were tiny little particles of solid electricity which were somehow being precipitated along certain directions. It was Max Planck who established the Planck’s Theory of Quanta which, I believe, is 6.624 x 10^-27 ergs per second (called Planck’s Constant).


In other words [transition], to make it more simplified, the formula merely means that energy itself does not simply flow through something and come out the something else at the other end. There must be a very definite relationship of harmonic or frequency transposition. Now we begin to understand that everywhere in space, everywhere within us, everywhere around us, everywhere, going on all the time in a manner and in a fashion which our physical eyes, our ears, or any of our five senses cannot determine or discriminate, are vast seas of energy in a continual reciprocating, interchanging and interlocking of an innumerable and in an infinite number of cycles. The entire cosmic universe which scientist call space is filled with this radiating pulsating energy.
