Celestial sphere

A young child looks through his telescope as he gazes through space at the stars. As he observes the nearby planets he wonders to himself “Where did all of these celestial bodies come from?” “Why are they here?” He is not alone. Throughout civilization humans have searched for the answers to these life altering questions. Some search for answers by way of spiritual beliefs and practices. Others would look for scientifically supported theories. Which is better? The choice is yours. There are many…

characters, leaving them on the periphery of his fiction. ‘The Secret Agent’ may break this assumption. Significantly, Conrad self-declares the novel ‘Winnie Verloc’s story’ , thrusting a ‘female, working-class protagonist’ into the androcentric spheres of both Victorian London and literature. Considering this, I intend to evaluate Conrad’s claim this is ‘Winnie Verloc’s story,’ analysing her presentation in perhaps the most essential part of the novel – the pages preceding Verloc’s death.…

of mathematical activities Poincaré employed, many of his creations have contributed central works in “almost all spheres of mathematics.” Some of the mathematical ideas Poincaré took so far as to publish dealt with, “topology, automorphic functions, theory of differential equations, integral equations, non-Euclidean geometry, and the relative theory, the theory of numbers, celestial mechanics, physics, and philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of science,” (Henri Poincare : Biography 3).…

INTRODUCTION Language is the celestial souvenir of divinity only to the mankind. A language lends a hand to an individual in the progress of his or her own personality that distinguishes a man from an animal. In fact it is the language which transports the people of different cultures, traditions and communities nearer. Language is a means of exchange a few words, thoughts and feelings to other.

Is Pluto a planet? This is the question many astronomers are debating. Pluto used to be considered a planet but back in 2006, it was taken of its title and was considered a dwarf planet. Many astronomers believe Pluto is a planet, and many believe it is not. This is a modern day debate for astronomers. Pluto was first discovered in 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona. Pluto is a very, very, very cold planet and is believed to be covered with ice. The…

Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene is widely recognized as one of the greatest epic poems of the Elizabethan age. It may be also commonly assumed that Spenser’s poetry represents an archetypal convention of gender in the era. Though Spenser plays off the feminine conventions linking the figure of power, Queen Elizabeth with specific characters, for example, Una in Book I, traditional patterns of feminine stereotypes are still continually penetrated in Renaissance and Spenser’s portrayal of…

2,300 years ago, the pre-Incans lived 10 miles northwest from the Peruvian coast. There they built Chankillo, a large fortified temple up against the western foothills of the Cordillera Negras (Lienhard). On the outskirts of this fortified temple about one kilometer east, there are 13 square towers aligned in a row on top of a ridge, each standing about 20 feet tall. On either side of the ridge are two towers on flat planes; an east and west observation tower. The pre-Incans are believed to…

of science and art were not automatically regarded as the polar opposites that they have tended to become in the modern classifications of intellectual disciplines(M. Pollock). The term ‘science’ refers to the systematic investigation of natural, celestial and mathematical processes. There is substantial evidence to suggest that common techniques of illusion, most notably perspective, do correspond in a non-arbitrary way to fundamental processes in human perception, but this correspondence…
