Dear Readers,
Pyramids are mysterious, aren't they? In this issue, we uncover some of their scientific secrets (pg. 26). Great civilizations built these awesome structures to symbolise the knowledge they held dearly. Accompany us to one of the ancient pyramids and watch
as we uncover some ancient secrets (p11).
Besides explorers (pg. 30), this structure is also interesting to scientists. The pyramid is one of nature’s favourite shapes -
many molecules are pyramid - shaped (pg. 16), so are prisms.
Ecologists arrange animals and plants in different kinds of pyramids (pg. 40) to make sense of links between them.
Also, join us in wishing Alby a very Happy Birthday!
Did you know that Albert Einstein was born in the month of
March in 1879? Find out what happened after that on page 6.

WARNING! Brainwave products will make you intelligent. They make science fun and engaging. If school textbooks frustrate

Dear Readers,
New beginnings call for a fresh perspective, maybe a small plan and moving forward without any doubt.
This time, we celebrate all the exciting technology that is to come. We try to imagine - what will our world be like in the future?
