Using both questions and reiteration, Stephen Hawking discusses the question of whether humans have free will or not. “Is Everything Determined?” both utilizes logical reasoning and builds upon theories previously stated in order to prove that nothing can be gained in discovering the fate of each individual human being. Hawking’s ethos is built outside the essay by his reputation as one of the world’s leading physicist; his composition originally appeared in the book Black Holes and Baby…

Growing up with limited proficiency in English, it was quite difficult for me to find a school subject of my interest. I never really had the chance to know what it felt like to be passionate about an area of study until the later years of my academic career. It was the day where the water cycle was taught in my fourth grade science class. I fell in love with the fact that everything, even the concept itself, fits perfectly and logically. I felt like I did not have to master the English language…

What we know the from the world of Science from today is built upon and formed by an extensive list of historical experimentalists. Today, we rely on studies from scientists such as Galileo, Kepler and Newton and to understand science a little better we study their classical, as online sources define classical as representing an exemplary standard” as well as “traditional and long-established in form or style” (Google definitions), interpretations. These scientists submitted several years to the…

Cornerstone Ranch and Rescue, I learned that physics could be applied to any aspect of everyday life. This has helped me solidify my understanding of physics and eager to learn more. The realization of how physics is everywhere has sparked my interest to want to learn more physics in order to get a better understanding of how and why the world works the way it does. The property owner related many concepts of horseback riding and ranch work with physics-related ideas so that I could relate…

Hypatia was the earliest female mathematician. She was born 350 CE and died 415 CE. This makes her about 65 years of age. She was the daughter of Theon. He was a mathematician and an astronomer. Theon is most known for his preservation of Euclid’s Elements. Additionally, he is known for his writing and comments on Ptolemy’s books, Almagest and Handy Tables. Theon influenced Hypatia greatly; she continued his program. This program was to preserve mathematical and astronomical Greek heritage in…

As long as I can remember I have always had a passion for science. I have always been curious about the why and how of things, and have been fascinated with exploring all there is to know about the Earth. Science is such a complex subject, with many different areas and fields of study, there is always more to learn. When I was younger I remember being excited to join my first Science Olympiad team, and have the opportunity to aggrandize my knowledge about the different fields of science in a…

Einstein and Isaac Newton, both intelligent, driven, revolutionary scientists who changed the way we look at the world. Their advancements science can still be felt in our everyday lives. Both Newton and Einstein made equal contributions to modern physics and mathematics, with Einstein building upon Newton’s theories, impacting the world today. Isaac Newton, born December 25th 1642 (January 4th 1643 depending on the calendar) in Woolsthorpe in Lincolnshire England. He was the only son of a…

Do you remember in school when you were sitting in math class and you were wondering to yourself, “when am i ever going to use this stuff in life”? Well here is your answer. You need math in most of the higher level jobs that you could get into. Especially in Pharmaceutical Science.

Most pharmaceutical scientist spend their days in a laboratory testing these interactions. To become…

The video understanding the universe, narrated by actress Candice Bergen, truly captured my attention. I found it very interesting because it explained very hard topics that were easy for me to understand. All the experts on the movie, used great examples to depict the unbelievable dimensions of the universe and its fascinating nature. I was able to look at the biggest telescopes on Earth, including the Hubble Space Telescope. Besides, I learned about stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, about…

Jesus Christ is the most influential person that has ever existed. This topic is arguable, but this why Jesus Christ is, without a doubt, the most influential person who has ever walked the earth. To begin, without Christ nothing in the universe or the universe itself would exist. He created everything. Another huge reason is, Christ’s ways and teachings are still taught and used today.
