    We aren’t alone in the universe. Nope, not even for a moment in all of our existence have we been alone. Because all life, both those that have gone extinct and the ones lucky enough to still be around. Have always been accompanied by beings outside of your imagination…. Now the bad news. The beings that have always accompanied us? Yeah, they aren’t friendly. They feed upon our flesh, our minds, and sometimes, they feed on our very souls. What are these creatures and how do I know this? You…

    “A DEVIL, BORN DEVIL UPON WHOSE NATURE, NURTURE WILL NEVER STICK” THE TEMPEST (WILLIAM SHKESPARE) According to Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911), Nature is everything which a man brings with himself to the world while Nature is every influence that affects him after birth. The nature versus nurture debate has been a controversial issue and it can be traced to about 150years ago. In 300BC some philosophers questioned nature vs nurture in human behaviour. A Greek philosopher named Plato (428 BCE –…

    Before St. Thomas Aquinas gave an answer to the question whether God exists in things, he, in I.7, answered that God is limitless. The characteristic of limitless things is to exist with an unending amount everywhere in everything . Then he asks about God’s existence in things, I.8.1-4. He is trying to answer the questions: Is God in all things, Is God everywhere, Is God everywhere by essence, power, and presence, and Does it belong to God alone to be everywhere? These questions and their…

    Fundamentals of Orbital Mechanics This chapter applies the principles of physics for describing motion of artificial satellites and planets which are moving under the influence of gravitation force. It also presents an accurate gravity model for flight dynamic applications (for use in subsequent chapters). 2.1 Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion In 1609 Kepler has presented his three laws for describing motion of planets around the Sun. These laws are empirical because Kepler has found them…

    Our galaxy holds important celestial bodies that keep earth stable environment for all living creatures.The earth, moon, and sun are the bodies that are included in everyone's daily lives and they are important for everythings survival. The earth spins on an axis, one full spin is called a rotation.One full rotation takes 24 hours, 24 is one day, 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. The earth orbits the sun, one full orbit is called a revolution, a revolution is one year, and a year is…

    As we know most of the things we humans learn are by mainly active experimentation or passive observation. Imagination is also one way of learning. For example in physics the first structure of atom was first imagine by a scientist but then that keep on changing . What is active experimentation ? it is when you yourself do some thing new ,which is new to you. that is basically active experimentation. what is passive observation ? passive observation is when you see or observe something happening…

    For devices on Nano scale classical physics usually cannot explain transmission of electron through the insulating barrier with higher potential energy than kinetic energy of the tunnelling electrons and in this case the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle takes place. Barrier penetration can be explained from Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle: If we were to say a particle cannot enter a barrier, we would actually say this particle is not there, i.e. its position uncertainty is Δx = 0 in the…

    Dear US Geological Survey, I think that you should accept Alfred Wegener’s Theory of Continental Drift. There is a large amount of realistic evidence to prove that this theory did occur. Wegener’s theory is that all seven continents were once joined into a supercontinent called Pangaea. He believes that after continents were in that supercontinent, they gradually moved apart over more than a hundred years ago and will continue to move in the future. This Theory of Continental Drift is supported…

    that by the time you get my letter, It may be too late. As you know, the galactic post office takes 1,000,000 years to deliver to distant galaxies. And since you all are getting further away, I am sorry if the letter does not reach you in time. The universe is changing. In fact, galaxies are moving apart at an ever increasing rate. The gravitational attraction between two galaxies at that distance is too small to have a significant effect, so the galaxies more or less follow the general flow of…
