Al-Haytham formulated that the eye is instead a receptor of light, and that light is dispersed and diffused in geometric patterns. This is one of the fascinating things about the Golden Age of Islam.…

Good evening everyone, it is my privilege today to inaugurate the Australia Day Film Festival. Ernie Dingo’s wise words express the indignation the Aborigines feel for their actions being neglected. This is perfectly highlighted in the two selected films that will assist in the grand opening of the festival. I am honoured today to introduce to you two musical-comedy films,…

Many people have dreamed of traveling to another planet. Since the technology is there, the clock is ticking for the day the announcement is made that a spaceship is making its way to Mars.

Moon phases affect on tide, tides affect on fishing In order to understand how tides work and how tides affect fishing, the relationship between the motion of the Earth in respect to the Sun and the Moon must first be understood.
