Earth a View of Our World
Universe From Wikipedia
The word Universe is usually defined as encompassing everything. However, using an alternate definition, some have speculated that the "Universe" composed of expanding space-as-we-know-it, is just one of many disconnected "universes", which are collectively denoted as the multiverse. For example, in the many-worlds hypothesis, new "universes" are spawned with every quantum measurement. These universes are usually thought to be completely disconnected from our own and therefore impossible to detect experimentally. Observations of older parts of the universe (which are far away) suggest that the Universe has been governed by the same physical laws and constants throughout most of its extent and history. However, in bubble universe theory, there may be an infinite variety of "universes" created in various ways, and perhaps each with different physical constants.
Throughout recorded history, several cosmologies and cosmogonies have been proposed to account for observations of the Universe. The earliest quantitative geocentric models were developed by the ancient Greeks, who proposed that the Universe possesses infinite space and has existed eternally, but contains a single set of concentric spheres of finite size ? corresponding to the fixed stars, the Sun and various planets ? rotating about a spherical but unmoving Earth. Over the centuries, more precise observations and improved theories of gravity led to Copernicus' heliocentric model and the Newtonian model of the Solar System, respectively. Further improvements in astronomy led to the characterization of the Milky Way, and the discovery of other galaxies and the microwave background radiation; careful studies of the distribution of these galaxies and their spectral lines have led to much of modern cosmology.
According to the prevailing scientific model of the Universe, known as the Big Bang, the Universe expanded from an extremely hot, dense phase called the Planck epoch, in which all the matter and energy of the observable universe was concentrated. Since the Planck epoch, the Universe has been expanding to its present form, possibly with a brief period (less than 10−32 seconds) of cosmic inflation. Several independent experimental measurements support this theoretical expansion and, more generally, the Big Bang theory. Recent observations indicate that this expansion is accelerating because of the dark energy, and that most of the matter and energy in the Universe is fundamentally different from that observed on Earth and not directly observable. The imprecision of current observations has hindered predictions of the ultimate fate of the Universe.
Current interpretations of astronomical observations indicate that the age of the Universe is 13.73 (± 0.12) billion years, and that the diameter of the observable universe is at least 93 billion light years, or 8.80 metres. According to general relativity, space can expand faster than the speed of light, although we can view only a small portion of the universe due to the limitation imposed by light speed. It is uncertain whether the size of the Universe is finite or infinite.

The Road to World War II - An Overview
Article by Dr. D. Jerome Tweton
Relations between the United States and Japan had been tense for some time. Japan openly declared that its intention was to create the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere." In order to fully industrialize, Japan needed huge supplies of iron ore, rubber, and oil - none of which it had. But its neighbors - China, French Indochina, the Dutch East Indies (Sumatra, Java, Borneo, New Guinea), Malaya - had what the Japanese coveted. In July of 1941 Japan took over French Indochina and seemed willing to risk war with Great Britain, the Netherlands, and even the United States, which owned the Philippines, to achieve its objectives.
The United States responded by freezing Japanese assets and cutting off Japan's access to oil and mineral resources. Congress authorized the drafting of men into the army (the first peace-time draft) and approved funds to establish a two-ocean navy.
During the autumn of 1941, Japanese and American diplomats carried on negotiations to iron out differences between the two nations. Those discussions were continuing even as Japanese bombs fell on Pearl Harbor. "AIR RAID, PEARL HARBOR - THIS IS NO DRILL" came the message at 7:58 AM on Sunday, December 7, 1941. A sneak attack, and the United States was thrust into war.
In Europe war had been going on since Hitler's Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Two days later Great Britain and France declared war on Germany in defense of Poland. In the spring of 1940 German armies easily conquered Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, and northern France. In June Benito Mussolini's Italy joined Hitler's Germany, forming the Berlin-Rome Axis. In September Japan joined the Axis powers. Each nation promised that if one of the three got into war with the United States, the others would also.
Great Britain now stood alone in Europe (Russia had signed a non-aggression pact with Germany which would later be broken). Germany began massive bombing of London and other British cities.
Although as at the outbreak of World War I, the United States maintained neutrality, that neutral position became increasingly difficult. In late 1940 the United States helped Great Britain by trading to her 450 destroyers in exchange for 99-year leases to naval and air bases in British North America. In early 1941 Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act which empowered the president to sell or lease any defense articles to any country whose defense was important to the United States. America provided the enemies of the Axis with $50 billion in arms and food. As before American entry into World War I, the United States and Germany engaged in naval war. After a German submarine attempted unsuccessfully to sink the American destroyer Greer on September 4, 1941, the President ordered the navy to "shoot on sight" any German submarine. On October 31, 1941, a German sub sank the destroyer Reuben James, killing 115 American sailors.
Although the famous aviator from Minnesota, Charles Lindbergh, and North Dakota Senator Gerald P. Nye continued to call for the nation's noninvolvement in the war, the naval war had already begun. After December 7, noninvolvement was impossible. The Pearl Harbor attack killed 2,403 and wounded 1,178 Americans.

- LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A 1965 Volkswagen van stolen 35 years ago in Spokane, Washington, was found by customs agents in a shipping container in the Los Angeles port last month, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official said.
The blue van, in pristine condition, was bound for Germany along with several vintage Volkswagens, Customs and Border Protection Port Director Todd Hoffman said.
The Arizona company that was shipping the van had no idea the vehicle was stolen from a Spokane auto shop in 1974, Hoffman said.
