Spain began declining as a world power and England started to replace them. The fact that storms helped to destroy more Spanish ships was also a push for Protestant Reformation in Europe. It was seen as an act of God. Later without Spain dominating the ocean it caused England to start colonization…

Cell Structures-DBQ Genetic engineering is the changing of genetics for different reasons. Some reasons might be changing the genes for the better, Some not so much. Genetic engineering is a good thing in some conditions. Don’t create a half turnip, half trout, half human. I do think that you should help to cure diseases through genetic engineering. That is important because you could eliminate a disease altogether concerning human disease. Pain is a very important feeling to have to live. Pain…

Interstellar Consequences The numbers calculate and recalculate relentlessly; factoring in the mass of the ship, its cargo, the precise weight of the single pilot, and the velocity in which the vessel will travel. They take no time to consider that an unforeseen variable could spiral into the equation. The algorithm developed to produce their answer leaves no room for error, after-all it is a formula birthed by the forces that keep planets spinning and maintain gravitational pressure, human…
