misunderstanding and different views of their personal greatness. As a child it was clear that Galileo had a bright future ahead of him. Throughout his life he made many discoveries and theories. He enjoyed observing nature and relating it back to physics. He also designed and made a telescope that helped lead education in the future. Because of his beliefs the church…

On Monday October 12th I had the honor of interviewing my college algebra professor Dr. Layne Heitz. The interview was very interesting and I learned many knew things about Dr. Heitz. Dr. Heitz has a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in mathematics from the University of West Texas and has recently received his doctorate degree. He currently teaches college Algebra, finite math method for teachers, geometry, and sometimes calculus or trigonometry. Dr. Heitz said that he always knew that he…

He has said many incredible quotes throughout his lifetime and made many inventions. One of his quotes that he mentioned and i am going to be talking about is ( It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity). - Albert Einstein. In my opinion this is a really powerful quote and has lots of meaning. I will start by saying that technology is taking us away from our faith and family. though this quote has been said a long time ago,and also know that even though…

Looking back at my relationship I can analyze the different…

Even though Aristotle did not survive the ages his legacy did. In the eastern culture they call him “The First Teacher” and in the western culture he is called “The Philosopher”. Aristotle helped start up many scientific branches including organon, physics and metaphysics, Nicomachean ethics and politics, rhetoric and poetics. Aristotle will always be a major founder of science. He has been the influence of many reforms throughout time and still is. His fingerprint is almost as large as the…

Albert Einstein said, “No object can travel faster than the speed of light.” However, will the temperature change the brightness of light? The researcher will perform the test three different times. Each test will take one glow stick from the freezer, one from the refrigerator, one in boiling water, and one from the counter and break the glow stick to make it glow. The researcher will then time the length of time it takes for the glow stick to turn off. At the conclusion of the experiment, the…

kid.I did not do well in school, but I did take an interest in mathematics and science. While at college, I studied physics and math. After graduating, I worked in a government office. Meanwhile, I continued studying physics on my own. Q: Which area of science did you work in? A: I was in Theoretical Physics. My research was related to Universal Physics and Quantum Physics. A Theoretical physicist has a job that combines observation with mathematics in order to create complex…

High respect. My definition of honor is that someone who has earned my respect and is now exceeding my limit of respect to make my truly honor them . There are some people who will earn the whole worlds respect and those people are honorable. Isaac Newton was the person who defined gravity and the three laws of motion Newton also did this experiment where he put a glass prism and a hole and made light go through the hole. Isaac Newton is honored because of all he found out for us without him…
