The mind of mankind has been used throughout the centuries to show beauty in many wonderful renditions in: poetry, novels, and famous paintings where masterpieces hang throughout the world. But, the mind has also been used to wage war against almost every known civilization on the planet. This third dimensional mind can be used to kill or to cure, and the outcome lies in the minds of mankind.

Webster's dictionary defines mind as "the element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons.'" This single inborn trait of reasoning is what makes mankind different from all other species.

Then, you also have the other side of the coin where creative minds excel in theories of thought.

Albert Einstein who was born in 1879 is known for his incredible mathematical mind. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921 and was also elected as "a fellow of the royal society."

When Einstein described his theoretical dissertation on the dimensions of molecules; Einstein replied "a storm broke loose in my mind." The particular essays which were written in 1905 were his Nobel Prize winning theories on light; how it moves and bends,
