Recently, I was up in the clouds. Sitting behind me in the aircraft was a little girl obviously on her first flight. She bombarded her father with questions,loudly. And he answered patiently, and too softly for me to get the answers. I had a question which I did not voice: the bales of clouds below us seemed almost stationary, while the ones above us seemed to be zipping fast. Why?
Does any one have answers to this? What better way to celebrate World Science Day for Peace and Development, celebrated each year on 10 November. UNESCO has announced that the theme of this year’s World Science Day for Peace and Development focuses on the role of science, ‘Towards green societies: equity, inclusiveness, participation’.
