The big bang theory is often misinterpreted for what some may describe as the origin of the universe. However, this misconception actually informs us on how our universe was created in one single explosion, which is said to have happened approximately fourteen billion years ago.8 Everything that makes up who we are and what surrounds us started then, as an infinitely small volume that continued to expand in a ridiculously fast rate, where within a matter of minutes the universe became the size…

Nikola Tesla The inventor Nikola Tesla lived from July 10, 1856 to January 7, 1943, he was a well-known engineer who designed the alternating-current (AC) electric system. He was born in what is now Croatia; he came to the United States in 1884 and worked for Thomas Edison for a while before they both went their separate ways. Tesla sold several patent rights to George Westinghouse; one of those was his AC machinery. During Tesla’s career he discovered, designed and developed ideas for a number…

Harshavardhan Immadisetty 1469065 OUTLINE A scientist is an individual who is studying or having an expert knowledge in one or more areas of science. The world we live in today would no doubt be a different place if it weren't for the amazing discoveries made by scientists. Samuel Finley Breese Morse is one of the scientists who discovered the telegraph and Morse code, which brought the great revolution in the total communication system. In early days people used to carry a message by travelling…

What is Science? How do we as humans define it? Is it by the methods people use in investigation? Or is it how we apply concepts? In Okasha’s Philosophy of Science: A Very Short Introduction (1) it attempts to force the reader to look at our own views of how science is defined and if it a satisfactory definition in the realm of Philosophy. The chapter provides several examples on how people determine science: “It is the attempt to understand, explain, and predict the world we live in,” or their…

forms of radio transmission antennas. The function of the coil simply cooperates with a capacitor to resonate current and voltage from across the circuit a power source. This helped Tesla study fluorescence, x-rays, radio, wireless power, and electromagnetism in the earth and the…

Modern Science would unarguably be completely different without the Scientific Revolution. It was a major moment in the history of Western Culture, not to mention science and it’s history as a whole. Out of the Scientific Revolution came modern science and things like the scientific method were created. Countless scientific discoveries came from the great research of key figures in the scientific revolution such as Newton, Galileo, and Copernicus. The scientific revolution took place in a…

the fourth fundamental state of matter. It is a thing apart from a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Yet it is the most common form of matter in space. They have surrounded the world in manmade plasma. “The scientist Nikola Tesla experimented with electromagnetism and technology to manipulate plasma. He wanted to illuminate the entire atmosphere of the Earth by applying electromagnetic energy to plasma at an altitude of some thirty-five thousand feet. “Earth has natural plasma. There is the Aurora…

be taught about ‘the nature of matter, about the atom, chemical reactions, the periodic table and the Earth and the atmosphere’. In physics, the basics of physics should be taught, including; ‘energy, motion and forces, waves, electricity and electromagnetism, matter and space physics’. (DFE, 2013) KS4 content is a continuation and build-up of the principles and ideas that are introduced in KS3. At this level, more insight and analytical…

Niels Henrick David Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on 1885. In 1911 he received his Ph.D. from Copenhagen University. Later on he moved to England to study under J.J. Thomson in Cambridge and under Ernest Rutherford in Manchester. In 1913 he published his model of the atom, which was based on Rutherford’s planetary model. After his publication of his model he received worldwide fame. Unfortunately, Bohr’s model worked only for hydrogen atoms. Which made the final atomic model yet to be…

The general understanding of reading speed is that the speed is determined mainly by two factors; how fast an individual’s eyes can move and how fast their brain can comprehend the information (Collins Dictionary, 2016). If an individual is forced to move their eye faster along with the words on a page or screen, such as that with a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) software, will it cause them to read faster without largely reducing their overall comprehension of the material? One…
