Since the Big Bang there has been a noticeable and continuous development or evolution that has led to our current existence. History has always contained a constant change, whether it is physical, mental or environmental. From the first hydrogen and helium atoms, to the formation of the planet we call Earth. From the earliest forms of life to the age of dinosaurs to the evolution of homo-sapiens. Most importantly the recent the shift of mindset from the Roman Empire to the feudalistic Organic…

Paul Davies begins the discussion in his book addressing an idea that pertains to the rest of the book saying, “If we do discover a complete theory. . . If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason —for then we would truly know the mind of God.” This statement allows the reader to understand the connection between the possibility of a God and his connection…

the sole human survivor flung into a senseless alien universe, Arthur must come to terms that the planet he once defined himself by is inconsequential: “There was no way his imagination could feel the impact of the whole Earth having gone, it was too big. “He thought of all the people he had been close to.

Contrary to what has been proven today, the ancient Greeks believed that the Earth was the center of our Universe opposed to the Sun — referred to as a geocentric…

Basically almost everything is held by gravity in space. Some astronomers believe some galaxies as held by black holes. But is that really the case?

After the Big Bang the universe started to cool of, starting protons and neutrons, hydrogen, helium, lithium and more. Stars, planets, galaxies started to form during the process. According to the European Space Agency's Herschel Telescope have…

One concept that has interested is dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter is the thing that makes it possible for galaxies to exist. When astrophysicists and cosmologist calculated why the universe is structure the way it is, it became clear that there’s just not enough normal matter. The gravity of the visible matter is not strong enough to from galaxies and complex structures. The starts would more likely be scattered all over the place and not form galaxies. Therefore, cosmologist concluded…

Have you ever thought that something in the ground would be inside of you at some point in time? Or what's inside of you right now was at some point in time was in a cow? The process of recycling atoms makes this possible. Everything is made up of a star that exploded in space a billion years ago. The Law of Conservation of Mass, discovered by Antoine Lavoisier in 1785, states that matter can not be created or destroyed makes the process of recycling atoms true/possible. When a person exhales…
