Asteroid

problem solving skills and time management is the Nintendo game Pikmin. Pikmin is a game about a man named Olimar that delivers different items from his planet Hocotate. While flying back to Hocotate in his spaceship, the S.S. Dolphin, he is hit by an asteroid and sent crashing onto an unknown planet. The S.S Dolphin loses every part that it needs to fly out of the orbit of the unknown planet. The player, taking control of Olimar, only has thirty in game days to recover the parts of Olimar’s…

about the K-T extinction. Some theories have good evidence, others have little to none, but there are no guarantees if the evidence is actually good enough. Many people believe that the great extinction happened because of the impact of a cosmic asteroid and created a massive explosion…

INTRODUCTION: The topic chosen for this assignment is the Original Creation of the Earth (nebular hypothesis vs. six-day creation). The origin of the earth, the universe, ultimately “creation” itself has long been a highly debated topic. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the original creation of the earth from an old-earth secularist view as well as the view from a young-earth creationist’s perspective. Ultimately, the intent is to highlight these opposing views in an attempt to…

Planet Earth represents Great Britain. The moon is Greenland because it is very close but it does not have what we are looking for (profit). The East Indies is the Main Asteroid belt because it has many resources but it is very difficult to get to. Then there is Mars which represents America. At first, most view it as dense wilderness not fit to be inhabited. Later it is considered a land full of promise. Will the Future…

In discovering information that is put into resources we use, such as textbooks, scientists test their hypotheses with a specific method. This process, called the scientific method, is part of our instinct. Using this process to prove scientific theories has been used for thousands of years, evolving over time until it reached its current form. This process is the foundation of science, being very important in helping scientists to be able to build off work that was previously done. The…

Rock bottom hurts. I’m not sure even to this day which hurt more, my way to rock bottom, hitting every stick and stone on the way down, or the collision, comparable to an atomic bomb landing straight on top of me. When I was young I was happy; when I was a teen I was happy. What was I happy for? My grades, honors classes, being rewarded for getting a’s, feeling like I was exceptional because I was good at something, and my friends. I was a blooming social butterfly, everyone knew my name,…

Charles Peirce’s “The Doctrine of Necessity Examined” ‘Against absolute chance is inconceivable’ is the third argument examined by Charles S. Peirce in “The Doctrine of Necessity Examined”. Necessitarianism or Determinism is a principle that refuses all simple possibility, and affirms that there is exactly a single way in which the world can be. Determinism refers to the philosophical theory which states that all man’s capability of conscious choice, decision, and intention is invariably…

Last time, we talked a little bit about the houses in astrology and what they mean. (Also, if you go to that link, you’ll find the previous astrology lessons rounded up, as well.) This time, we’re going to go into a bit of a basic overview of the planets and more importantly, why we look at them. I think everyone’s seen the “It’s in the stars” statements or “What do your stars have to say?” And this has become the familiar thing- but, while yes, we do look at certain stars: it’s really all…

And we won’t admit it. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature there is around 16,000 species at risk of extinction and 41,415 species that are threatened. Many species including ourselves are in danger if we do not look for a solution to prevent it. In Andrea Wulf’s The Invention of Nature, she introduces Alexander von Humboldt who was the first scientist to notice climate change. Today, it is a big topic since we can see it occur in front us or on the news such as and…

Remarkable Creatures chronicles the stories of landmark scientific events and the biologists behind them- following the creation of Darwin’s unprecedented theory of natural evolution. The events mentioned in the book were all centered around the concepts of evolution and the origin of species. The first part of the book details the journeys of Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace, young collectors turned into naturalists as they travelled around the globe searching for exotic specimens to take home…
