Fictional universe

philosophy and the astronomers’ conflicting truths. Around the twelfth century, most were a devoted Aristotelian, and educated people knew that stars in the celestial realm only had one motion, to revolve in a spherical motion around the centre of the universe . What Maimonides notes however, is that Aristotelian physics could not infer the existence of epicycles and eccentric circles. However, to make accurate calculations about the stars, one must assume the existence of epicycles and…

I believe there is a lot to be learned through exploring our universe but I am not in favor of colonizing other planets. I believe that exploring our universe with unmanned spacecraft will bring us a wealth of information that can aid us in understanding the world we live on. Sending man into space was a great adventure and the transmission and photographic technology available in the 60s and 70s when the space race was at its apex was not as robust which prevented us from seeing everything…

One of my favorite philosophers in Sophie's World was Democritus. Democritus discovered atoms, tiny invisible blocks he thought that everything was made of; eternal and immutable. Democritus was also a materialist, someone who believes that nothing exists but physical matter. The philosopher, Alberto Knox, has asked Sophie “Why is Lego the most ingenious toy in the world?” The next day, he sends her a green packet talking about Democritus. Lego blocks are a great deal like atoms. Democritus…

Ever since the beginning of mankind, humans have pondered the purpose of their existence. Throughout history, a variety of philosophers, as well as authors, have asserted what they think to be the meaning of life. Philippe Petit’s To Reach the Clouds: My High Wire Walk Between the Twin Towers, Colum McCann’s Let the Great World Spin, and Wes Moore’s The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates all offer a unique outlook on the age old question of human existence. The authors of these books assert…

There are many theories that support it could've been prevented and that it couldn’t be prevented. World War II was one of the bloodiest wars, if not the bloodiest, in all of the wars ever. The total military deaths that came from the war were roughly around 19 million people killed (Appleby 519). It featured great Allied leaders: Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. The Axis leaders consisted of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Hideki Tojo. These six men were…

Doctor Faustus, written by Christopher Marlowe is about a man who sells himself to the devil. The reasoning behind this trade to the devil is for power, fame and knowledge. This story explains his time, and experience in selling himself to the devil. This play was a well known play at the time. It struck people because it was a rebellious decision the main character made, especially with the historical and social events at occurring at this time. The historical impact from what was socially…

The idea of time-travel is very interesting and many have attempted to find way in which it can be done. Before thinking about time-travel however, time itself must be defined. Is it all readily set out with everything existing simultaneously, or is it simply an ever-changing present moment and nothing more? It must also be said that the past and the future are very different concepts, despite appearing similar. Because of this, time-travel to the past and the future must be considered…

The design argument basis it’s argument around the fact that the universe is perfectly fit for human habitation. There could have been many different possibilities on the outcome of the universe, but it just so happen to fit. Many things could have been extremely different such as: law of physics, different arrangement of planet and/or stars, may have begun with bigger or smaller big bang, and many of the planets in our universe could not have allowed for human habitation. Or…

There are several different anthropic coincidences that explains the overall reason for the belief of the Anthropic principle and how the universe is precisely designed for the purpose of human life, evolution and survival. One of the many different anthropic coincidences is “The Strength of the Strong Nuclear Force”. This theory says that if the strong nuclear force had fluctuated even microscopically stronger or weaker, then the world would have never existed. The strong force holds nuclei…
