A Bigger Bang

Are heroes always the ones with super powers? Do they always have to have laser vision? Are they always the ones with flying powers? Are they always the ones on TV, newspapers, and magazines? Many people believe that heroes have powers, but what they do not know is that they are average people all around society. They do little things that people take advantage of and do not get any recognition for it. Heroes do special things for people and many things to make the world better. Though leading…

Reason Series Paragraphs For the first segment of the Reason Series the topic of conversation revolves around one main question “Can science disprove God?” and all the little questions that go along with it. After watching the video, the most convincing answer I took away from the segment’s essential question “Can science disprove God?” was the idea that science can never truly disprove anything. It struck me profoundly for I had never realized that although someone could go to every planet,…

The big bang theory is often misinterpreted for what some may describe as the origin of the universe. However, this misconception actually informs us on how our universe was created in one single explosion, which is said to have happened approximately fourteen billion years ago.8 Everything that makes up who we are and what surrounds us started then, as an infinitely small volume that continued to expand in a ridiculously fast rate, where within a matter of minutes the universe became the size…

To most people around the world today may just seem like another day in the 13th century, however here in Italy today marks a significant discovery and the first time that the cosmological has been made famous within society. Although we have been told that the concept has been around since Plato and Aristotle, it is not until now that it has been made famous around the world and in Western philosophy. Today marks the day St Thomas Aquinas declared their theory for Gods existence, which has…

Introduction Around 90% of the universe is currently undetectable.[1] Allowing oneself to then believe that all the experiments and missions carried out for space exploration and countless images portraying the beauties of the world beyond the sky has only shown around 10% of the contents of the universe is unfathomable. So what mysteries lurk in the void of our universe? Any Physicist, or fellow inquisitive mind reading this, will immediately have two distinct phrases come to mind: Dark matter…

Miracles and Naturalists “Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters to large for some of us to see” C.S Lewis. Miracles are highly controversial topics because they are something quite out of the normal, something that is not natural but super natural. This paper will talk about the supernatural form of miracles in contrast with the thoughts of the Naturalists. But holding either view, that there are such things as…

In 1964 a physicist by the name of Peter Higgs took some ideas that were floating around at the time, added an insight or two of his own, and proposed that there was an energy field that permeated the entire universe. This energy field is now called the Higgs filed. The reason he proposed this field was that nobody understood why some subatomic particles had a great deal of mass, while others had little and some had none at all. The energy filed that Higgs proposed would interact with the…

Hayy developed a cosmology to portray how he understood the world through the use of observation, speculation, and comparison, without it he would have never discovered how interconnected the universe was. Hayy understands the world in a way that is similar to Copernicus and the rest of previous scientists. His theory of the world stemmed from developments that took place over 28 years in seven-year increments (Ibn Ṭufayl 1150, pg. 128). Hayy understood the world through the basis of the four…

William Herschel was not an astronomer when he discovered Uranus. He was actually a musician and teacher. He looked at the stars as a hobby. However, he used a method different than most star gazers of the time. He mapped out the stars in relation to each other, instead of the traditional grid method used at the time (Smith 2013). He started out by studying the Society papers on natural history and matter theory, after he joined the Bath Philosophical Society in 1780. He also reached out to the…

With my increased interest about space following the last essay, I choose to read the essay, “James Webb telescope will truly do what Hubble only dreamed of” by Ethan Seigal. The essay was about the capabilities of the new James Webb telescope, that is being launched in October 2018, and paying respects to the telescope Hubble as well. The author started out by listing the accomplishments made by Hubble, which was first launched in 1990, and the numerous milestones that were reached with the…
