Condensed matter physics

world. Basically, due to Hawking's idea of black holes, physics and mathematics were more than ever knitted together. His use of the laws of thermodynamics, quantum physics, and general relativity (which had never been used together ever before) demonstrated that. Even after Einstein’s use of relativity, Hawking created a idea that would entirely create a new idea and view of black holes (The Intimate Relation Between Mathematics and Physics). The United States and its venture of space…

“Spaghetti and hydrogen, what do they have in common?” I always remembered the question my physics teacher raised in first physics class in eighth grade. “From the leaves on the trees to the school bus that drives you here”, he continued, “for every matter in the world, there exist certain underlying rules that shape it into what it is, determine how it functions, and thus make it predictable and understandable.” Identifying his conclusion shapes me into a discerning observer. Ever since, I was…

Who is Albert Einstein? Einstein was a genius man who was very under rated until his later years of life. He invented the theory of relativity, that is incredibly famous now, and is considered one of the most influential person for the 20th century. Einstein was born in 1879 in Germany. He grew up in the middle class inside a Jewish family. Einstein had a father who was an engineer and a mother who was a regular housewife. Einstein had two siblings one brother and one sister that was born two…

Anything and Everything Including Rocket Science To be any famous person in all known history is a tough choice, but John Carmack has been an innovative, boundless, and ambitious man who has advanced the world of technology to what it is today. DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein, if these games come to mind then you know that they set the stage for modern video games to be developed and it all started with a man named John Cormack. Cormack was the lead developer on most of the games coding, that…

Over the course of my high school career I spent countless hours working in the Engineering Department of my school. At least half of the many hours that I spent in these classes I was working with a group to complete various projects and tasks assigned by our teacher. I can recall a project, in my Principles of Engineering class, where we had to design a self-propelled car. In this project my partner and I were presented with various design challenges; one of these such challenges stated that…

Taylor Cockrell The Universe: its many theories Throughout history, knowledge and ideas have been passed on and tossed around about how we all came to inhabit this earth, this Universe. Many theories came from the Ancient Greeks, Romans and many different interpretations of the Christian Bible! In this essay I will talk about three main points throughout history that impacted how the universe can be interpreted, through theories. How the Ancient Greeks impacted thought and their ideas,…

Sir Isaac Newton and Archimedes of Syracuse are both very notable physicians and mathematicians. Each had his own achievements and theories; yet, they both made groundbreaking laws and had compelling ideologies. This essay will briefly discuss the lives and achievements of both Newton and Archimedes. We will also compare and contrast the works of both men. On the 25th day of December in the year of our Lord, 1642, Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom of Great…

I have found his works to be entertaining and educational while also being realistic and inspirational. Albert Einstein was a brilliant mind in his time. Well into the 21st century, he still continues to teach and give insight on important matters such as studies on gravity and exploration of space. Also Einstein was the first to discover how to split an atom. Furthermore, he also created the atom bomb. He was one of the brightest minds in Germany at the time. His understanding of…

The history of writing the hymn «Amazing Grace» Amazing! One can hardly find another word to describe the incredible transformation that occurred in the life of John Newton. Newton was born in London in 1725 His mother died when he was seven years old. Father gave him to learn seamanship when Newton was eleven. At the beginning of Newton was a cabin boy, then became deckhand. Naturally, the boy ran to the ship's way of life, rich blasphemy, drunkenness, immoral behavior. Newton without…

The theoretical frame for this research is based on the Stress Process Model but extends and elaborates the SPM in order to apply to research aims of the present study (Pearlin, Menaghan, Lieberman, & Mullan, 1981). As shown in Figure 1, the Stress Process Model (SPM) has identified interconnections between stressors and psychological stress outcomes with intervening mediators (Pearlin, 1989; Pearlin et al., 1981). A mediator is a significantly “intervening variable” (p.14) between two variables…
