Enrico Fermi

After researching benefits and downfalls of nuclear power plants, I have come to a conclusion that we should block the plan to build a nuclear power plant in Enola, Pennsylvania. While researching nuclear power plants, I found more disadvantages than advantages. Many power plants have one event that causes another event, and another, each event a product of the one before, and a cause of the one after. This is called a chain reaction. Nuclear power plants are power plants that use Uranium 235…

On 11 March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami occurred off the east coast of Japan. The tsunami resulted in extensive flooding along the east coast of Japan. Located near the towns of Ōkuma and Futaba on the east coast of Japan the Tokyo Electronic Power Company’s (TEPCO) Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) sustained substantial damage. The FDNPP consists of six individual nuclear power reactors. Planned maintenance was being performed on reactors 4, 5 and 6.…

Project was in the early 1939. The German have found out how to make the first Uranium atom bomb. The Uranium atom bomb can do a lot of damage to a place if it happen to go off. Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi felt the need that the president needed to know of the great danger that may be ahead of them. Fermi traveled all the way to Washington to tell the government officials his concern, not a lot of them shared the same uneasiness that he did. Einstein then had to send a letter to President…

Enrico Fermi interest in physics was found at a young age by his father and his colleagues, and as Fermi progressed through school, he studied more in physics and won many awards. Fermi later went on to earn his doctorate degree from the University of Pisa in 1922. Following his graduation from the University of Pisa, Fermi was awarded a scholarship from the government to work with other physics professors, and would later become a professor himself. Several years later, Fermi won the nobel…

Does life exist elsewhere in the universe? — One of the most fascinating and compelling questions, whose answer has eluded us since the moment we learnt about the cosmos. It could in fact help us understand our own existence. There are several probabilistic arguments that not only try to show the existence of life, but also the existence of communicative civilisations. Frank Drake formulated the Drake equation one of the most famous one of these models. Rather than evaluate and quantify the…

This includes the possibilities that Earth is a unique or rare instance, aliens lack the ability to communicate, and, somewhat darkly, intelligent life naturally destroys itself or others. Despite these explanations, the Fermi paradox not only casts doubt on the validity of the Drake equation, but the idea that the universe is biological, a concept closely related to cosmic evolution. If the equation is based on false premises, that there isn’t a natural progression from…

This brings up the problem known as the Fermi Paradox. This basically states that if the likelihood of intelligent life existing is so high then how come we have yet to come in contact or find proof? This lack of contact is sometimes referred to as “The Great Silence.” Many have tried to come…

"Casta Diva" is the main soprano aria from Vincenzo Bellini's opera Norma. It takes place in Act 1, shortly after the title's character first entrance. The part is considered one of the most challenging roles in the opera for a variety of reasons but particularly the music. This piece requires perfect vocalism, a wide range voice, skill at sculpting long curving phrases, and steady technical control. Many sopranos have recorded this aria, including Maria Calla and Anna Netrebko. It is a prayer…

Introduction to Opera Compare the characters of Carmen and Micaëla in Carmen. What are the differences between them, how is this expressed in the music, and do you think the outcome is inevitable? Introduction Bizet's Carmen is an Opera in four acts, first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 3 March with a plot based on the 1845 novella by Mérimée. Today it stands as one of the most popular french operas of all time.The Opera explores the relationship between the enchanting Carmen and…
