Drake equation

aware that in subtraction, the amount you want to subtract is different from the quantity you have to subtract from. Furthermore, in subtraction, the original quantity that you have or want to subtract from is usually the larger digit (unless the equation involves positive and negative integers). A mistake like this can result in an incorrectly answered basic fact. Specific ways to help students avoid and/or overcome misconception 1: Students who misunderstand the order of subtraction…

other planets. In 1961, a scientist named Frank Drake, tried to prove that there must be life on other planets. Drake first found out how many planets there were in our galaxy. Then, he used math to find out how many of those planets were similar to earth, and could have life on them. Then he used math again to find out how many of those planets could develop intelligent life. “intelligent life” is life with similar intelligence to humans. Drake’s equation found that there could be possibly…

Aliens Who’s to say aliens haven’t show themselves, there are numerous sightings, encounter stories, and questions that have yet to been answered. The oldest UFO sighting can date back to 343 BC! Diodorus Siculus Timoleon wrote while traveling from Corinth to Sicily “All through the night he was preceded by a torch blazing in the sky up to the moment when the squadron made harbor in Italy.” In a modern time this light could be more than just a light and there are many other stories about UFOs.…

universe alone? In this review, I will explore Mr. James Fox’s approach to this question and whether I think Mr. Fox has any validity in his documentary with the evidence he puts forth. Our journey starts with the Drake equation formulated by astronomer and astrophysicist Dr. Frank Drake in 1961, which states that there are 10,000 communicative civilizations in the milky way galaxy. This documentary explores the military’s perspective on unidentified flying objects as well as eye witnesses’…

Aliens are coming to decimate the Earth, including the human population, more than likely, this is false, but people can never be too careful. Many individuals claim the radio signals scientists have been monitoring from 3 billion light-years away are proof. Some claim the probability of aliens not existing is far too low, and there is no way Earth hosts the only intelligent life forms out there. Others claim the government is hiding the proof from the public, with the evidence kept in secret…

the way we think whether we consciously realize it or not. Hotline Bling by Drake, How Deep Is Your Love by Calvin Harris and Disciples, Blasé by Ty Dolla Sign, and Good For You by Selena Gomez all send specific messages about gender and how each should act and react. In the song Hotline Bling, Drake sings about a love lost. We hear these songs all the time and it is fairly petty song, but some of the things Drake says in the song sends a social cue regarding who should or is "in…

species would give us the probability to learning aliens' language and even talk to them. Launched by NASA, in 1959 there were several articles discussing the potential to use wave to communicate between stars. And in 1960, the USA astronomer Frank Drake conducted the first hunt for alien life with an 85-foot antenna in West…

Kane & Selsis (2014) proposed a modified Drake equation, originally intended as a “necro-biological” solution for the Fermi Paradox, involving pathogenic zombie apocalypses, signified by a measurable increase in greenhouse gas emissions (particularly CO2, H2S, NH4, and CH4) due to the rotting of zombified sophonts and their domesticated animals. While the report itself was in fact a practical joke (there are no real life mechanisms for a zombie apocalypse), it did call to attention serious…

Teachers, Not Soldiers December 6, 2013, Karl Pierson, an 18 year old student at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado, legally purchased and obtained a 12- gauge shotgun. December 13, 2013, Karl Pierson then used that shotgun to kill one student, injure another, and then kill himself. The domestic attack lasted only a minute and a half, but I can tell you from a personal perspective, the students and families will continue feel its effect forever. A lot of controversy came after the…
