But what if we took a step back and looked at the skills required to get there? Читать дальше...

When Albert Einstein first predicted that light travels the same speed everywhere in our universe, he essentially stamped a speed limit on it: 670,616,629 miles per hour — fast enough to circle the entire Earth eight times every second.

That's according to a recent SmartAsset report, which calculated the "breakeven point" — the point at which the total costs of renting become greater than the total costs of buying — for 29 major cities.

For years, the scientific community believed the phenomenon was largely confined to high-achieving women. However, many of those... Читать дальше...
