But one thing the Scopes "monkey trial" of 1925 did not do was settle the contentious issue of evolution in the schools, which continues to incite strong passions and court actions to this day.

While there are plenty of budget rifle scopes, the technology behind thermal scopes used to be prohibitively expensive. This made them available only to those with deep pockets and big budgets ...

Accepting this suggests that optics offers no new computational capability. To be useful, the best that optics can do is to accomplish the same goals as digital electronics, but in a more ...

Today’s airguns shoot tiny groups at 50 yards and have a wide range of applications, calibers, and power plants. That’s why there’s not a single best air rifle scope. Instead, there’s a best scope for ...
