General Atomics

Consequently, he chose the cube because it contains eight vexes. Its orderly shape appealed to the common scientific notion that the universe contains patterns and organization. A conceivable structure like the cube allowed for easy application of Lewis’ atomic postulates. Lewis’ model explained his six postulates about the chemical behaviors of an atom. The first postulate is that an atom has an essential kernel that does not change in chemical reactions and “possesses an excess of positive…

impression that the many billions of years ago in our days talking about 15 - 20 billion of the universe matter was concentrated in a very small volume with a fantastically high density, many orders of magnitude superior to the density of matter in the atomic nucleus . Suddenly for reasons which are built a variety of assumptions, it was what is now called the Big Bang, and of flying shards of primary clot began to form stars, galaxies and all matter around us. The explosion was accompanied by…

WERNHER VON BRAUN Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun, the father of modern rocketry and one of the most important outer space engineers of the 20th century, was born on 23th of March 1912 in Wirsitz (Wyrzysk)(today in Poland). He was a child of a wealthy family from Germany. With their second son, Wernher, Magnus von Braun and Emmy von Quistorp moved to Berlin in 1915. In those years, Wernher von Braun became interested in music and astronomy. And his passion, astronomy, went on for…

straight-forward. Time flows constantly disregarding one’s position in the universe. However, on November 25, 1915, Einstein discovered that time is relative, meaning time cannot be constantly flowing everywhere; instead, time can be warped. The General Theory of Relativity introduces new understandings about time and the power it…

undergirding astronomy, chemistry, geology, biology, and—absent some paradigm-shattering revelation—human thought and action. Its analytical methods and machines have plumbed the unknown and the inaccessible, from the submicroscopic confines of the atomic nucleus to the billowing expanse of the observable universe. Physics has superseded our biochemically mediated perceptions of the world, replacing qualitative impressions with highly precise quantitative models: We can’t dive into the sun to…

Eliza Revell Big Bang Theory Task-Science 2015 10CH For a very long time the Big Bang theory has been one of the most talked about topics in science. Most astronomers believe that the universe began with a ' Big Bang ' They believed that it happened about 14 billion years ago. At that point in time, astronomers think that the universe was inside a dense kind of 'bubble' that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead. They think it was…

Albert Einstein is universally looked to as one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century, with his studies making a extensive impact on the understanding of the universe. He was born with a curious mind and strived to understand everything going on in the world around him as well as the world outside his perception. This drive lead him to develop theories that would enhanced the way scientists analyze the universe today, opening new avenues of discovery. Albert Einstein was born…

and easier to understand, and instead of throwing the reader into a deep hole of information, Sam Kean eases into the elements with chapters that are filled with not only helpful information but with also quotes that can also be adapted to life in general. In conclusion, The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love and the History of the World From the Periodic Table of Elements by Sam Kean was a helpful read for it stated the information in such a way that people, even those…

know not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it (3).” One of his most known works is the General Theory of Relativity, which he completed in 1915. It accurately predicts Mercury’s orbit around the sun and filled many of the holes left in Isaac Newton’s theory (4). Another development Einstein was involved in was the Manhattan Project. Many people think that Einstein was the one who helped design the atomic bomb, when in reality, the only military tactical schemes he was involved in were very…
