Essay on Mysteries of Science and Technology

One of the greatest mysteries of the English colonization of the New World is the mystery of the lost colony of Roanoke. It has been centuries and no one truly knows what happened to the lost colony of Roanoke. In 1585, around 20 years before the famous settlement of Jamestown, the first English settlement happened. This settlement was called the colony of Roanoke which is modern day North Carolina. Roanoke like most colonies had a rough start when they suffered from Indian attacks and lack of…

ejection (CME). Solar wind, the outward flow from the sun which carries these charged particles, typically moves at speeds between 300 and 800 kilometres per second, meaning that it is able to reach the Earth in roughly 3.9 days (The American Heritage Science…

world is very technological based, and in that comes science. Science has been the one of the prime leaders, in helping the natural world become the 21st century. Since the study of quantum mechanics discovered atoms, light photons, particles and wavelengths. That has help create some prime technology that is used in everyday life. This is including laptops, cell phones and machines. If the scientist would have not taken the time to unravel the mystery of quantum mechanics, the quality of life…

Most individuals with even the most rudimentary knowledge of science have probably heard of x-rays and gamma radiation. Very few however, will be able to tell you where these forms of radiation come from. The answer: Pulsars. Pulsars, or neutron stars, are physics sandboxes that provide extreme conditions for humans to experiment with which are not readily available on Earth. Due to this usefulness, the discovery and research of these phenomena should be of the utmost importance. These neutron…

organisms. However, the time and money necessary to accomplish such a feat would be astronomical. Matt Williams, the Guide to Space Curator for Universe Today, expresses his opinions on this phenomena in his article, “How Can We Live on Mars?” As a science fiction author, he discusses the advantages of mass migration and the obstacles encountered in doing so. Williams does not explicitly state the mission can be accomplished, but he does provide his plan of attack. I agree with Williams…

The twenty-first century truly is an age of rapidly expanding technology that has reached into the field of genetics. When it comes to genetic engineering, a relatively new field, more and more new methods of modification are being discovered that will lead to better, safer, and/or easier genetic engineering. With the advancements that continually take place, it no longer seems far fetched to manipulate a species to any specification, or possibly creating a completely new one all together. Many…
