An Introduction To Quantum Mechanics

By: Benita Xavier, Journalist
Tsunamis, being exceptionally treacherous, are impossible to stop, leaving us with the only option of evacuating the area as our survival while abandoning many buildings behind. Not all people escape in time, ending up in a life-threatening situation, in which many of them die. What should we do about this disastrous event and how can we lessen the amounts of deaths because of it?
