I’m at a college party and the music is playing really loud. I was sitting at a bar with my cousins, we order drinks; mine in particular is cranberry with vodka because it makes me relaxed. All of a sudden my song comes on, “Call Me” by Ceelo Greene. We went straight to the dance floor, and I was definitely feeling myself. As I started moving my body to the music, a tall guy came guy came walking towards me. He was 6’1, pretty brown eyes, pecan skin, and he was dressed as if he was going on a…

Does the future exist? Natalia Kaparuk, entry for the University of Sheffield philosophy essay prize 2015 Does the future exist? It is fair to propose that our idea of the concept of time began within the borders of human reasoning and apprehension. The notion of "future" is variably interpreted across religions, cultures and between philosophers, but in essence, it is known as the inevitable passage of time and events that are yet to occur. “It is utterly beyond our power to measure the…

Dylan Jeffery ESS 102 4/19/18 Cut off from the Stars : Space Debris & Space Travel As time passes, humanity seems to inch closer and closer to the tipping point of becoming a truly space faring species. However, that momentous step in our evolution could potentially be cut off from us forever if we are not careful with how we handle the already growing space debris problem today. Space debris, in this context, is all of the bits of destroyed man-made technology left in space, some of which…

Hitching a Ride on a Light Beam Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, undergirding astronomy, chemistry, geology, biology, and—absent some paradigm-shattering revelation—human thought and action. Its analytical methods and machines have plumbed the unknown and the inaccessible, from the submicroscopic confines of the atomic nucleus to the billowing expanse of the observable universe. Physics has superseded our biochemically mediated perceptions of the world, replacing qualitative…

NOVA’s “the Fabric of the Cosmos: Quantum Leap” with Brian Greene “Quantum Leap” not only explores how much the quantum atom has changed our view of the rules that govern our universe, but also how much is has, or will, benefit society. How did science arrive at the quantum atom, and what benefit did (or will) we gain from each of the developments that led us to the quantum atom? After the analytical evidence was gathered by Sir Joseph John Thomson from the scientists before him to create the…

Music is energy. Music is the vibrations in air. For Brian Greene, a physicist at Columbia University, sound is the actual wave or ripple of vibrating air, and the nature and details of the vibration is what allows for a musical note. There are two main types of music: instrumental and lyrical. Instrumental music…

Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.” -Brian Greene. The story is based around the main character Charlie Gordon who is mental handicapped. Charlie is discovered by two doctors that see Charlie with his various problems. The doctors look at him as the prime subject for their new research.…

new technology of the time. Time travel is not completely an impossible theory, and because time changes are supposedly only aware to the traveler, we would never even know history has changed. In fact, theoretical physicist and string theorist Brian Greene, of Columbia University says time travel is real, and has already happened, however is only possible to travel a short amount of time to the future. Knowing this, future scientists could easily launch…
