In 1936 the Benny Goodman Trio Got 15 top 10 hits, a few being “Goody Goody” and “You turned tables on me.” Benny appeared as himself in The Big Broadcast of 1937 and released a trademark song in 1938: “Sing Sing Sing (with a swing)”. The Benny Goodman Trio was the first jazz band ever to appear in the Carnegie hall, and sadly, around this time Gene Krupa left the band to follow his…
Space is a huge sea of unknown. We are simply specks of dust, trying to figure out the behaviors of giants. Thus it is apparent that the specks can not know much. For now. One of the biggest mysteries is the expansion of the universe; in the 1990s, we knew that theoretically, our ever-expanding universe was slowing down due to gravity, and that it would eventually collapse or keep expanding, just slower as time went on. However, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that to be dead…
Over 104 years ago, on August 7th, 1912, an Austrian scientist named Victor Hess changed the Astronomy and Physics world forever when he discovered cosmic rays through a strange experiment that took place in a hot air balloon. Cosmic rays are high-energy, subatomic particles that appear outside the Earth’s atmosphere. These rays are known to strike to down on Earth, which may seem dangerous but even very energetic primary rays crash into the Earth’s atmosphere and they basically never make it to…
Eliza Revell Big Bang Theory Task-Science 2015 10CH For a very long time the Big Bang theory has been one of the most talked about topics in science. Most astronomers believe that the universe began with a ' Big Bang ' They believed that it happened about 14 billion years ago. At that point in time, astronomers think that the universe was inside a dense kind of 'bubble' that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead. They think it was…
On a warm fall day Willy Harrison, sat building a campfire waiting for his grandchildren to arrive. Today he planned to tell them the story that they had been waiting to hear since they last met.

Waiting for them to reach him, he pulled out candies from his breast pocket. Finally reaching him, they gave him a quick hug and thanked…
There are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe. The first galaxies formed around 13.5 billion years ago after the big bang and the dark ages. NASA states that, “After the Big Bang, the Universe was composed of radiation and subatomic particles.” There are two theories about what happened next. The first theory is that small particles slowly team up and gradually form stars, star clusters, and eventually galaxies. The second theory states that the universe first…
In the movie Big Fish, Edward Bloom is similar to that of a mythological hero seen in Greek stories. He was bigger than life, filled with fantastical adventures and had a flair for telling tall tales. Due to this, it is often difficult for those near him to decipher fact from fiction and reality from myth. This concept of myth reflects the ideas of Bruce Lincoln, who, like Edward’s son William, also attempts to reconcile the facts and fictions of myths. Edward saw himself as a big fish in a…

came to be. There have been different theories concerning the formation of the universe, but the widely accepted theory in today's society is the Big Bang theory, most scientists support this theory as there is substantial evidence backing it. Georges Lemaître was the first formally to propose the Big Bang theory in 1931. According to the Big Bang theory, the universe came from an explosion of very dense and hot matter also called a singularity and rapidly cooled 14 billion years…
