Julius Robert Oppenheimer is remembered as a well-renowned citizen-scientist whose efforts in the field of theoretical and experimental physics produced a cornerstone in weapon development and the knowledge of the atom, but what can we say accounted for Oppenheimer’s success in his endeavors? Was it his drive for the knowledge of science, or was it the patriotism he had for his country that drove him to work endlessly on the creation of the atomic bomb? In an article in Modern American Poetry…

Millions upon millions of cars are recalled every month, a staggering number that should give consumers reason for concern. What some may not realize is that recalls are not always handled in a timely fashion, even with rental cars. Unfixed Recalled Cars and Car Rentals Although rental car companies may eventually comply with the recalls, that doesn’t mean the affected models have been repaired. Furthermore, there are no laws stipulating that unfixed recalled cars cannot be rented. Here’s…
There are many astronomers out there, but the one person that stood out to me was Edwin Hubble. It is because of Edwin, we now have a better understanding on the distance in the universe and that it’s expanding. His research was very remarkable that he had a telescope with his name. Since Edwin established the scale of the universe and laid the observational basis, he helped us understand what are galaxies like in the universe. To start off, Edwin noticed a Cepheid variable in the Andromeda…
Impostor is a 1965 Chevy Impala that presents as a normal car with a very decadent paint job; under the hood is where the magic happens. The vehicle underwent numerous modifications in to house a Corvette C6 engine (Completed Builds). (Figure 1&3 Impostor) A 2008 Corvette chassis was placed into the 1965 Impala Super Sport, which posed a challenge as the Corvette is seven inches thinner and the Impala is fourteen inches shorter (Completed Builds). Further customization was placed into the…
Our Rube Goldberg machine used several physics concepts in order to complete its simple task, which was to turn on a Roomba. One of the most prominent physics concepts within our project was gravity and/or gravitational potential energy, which could be seen in places such as the inclined planes and the hammer swinging down. Gravity was the downward-pulling force that allowed the energy to be transferred from the top level, to the Roomba on the floor. The toppling rule was another major concept…
Conjunction Rule P(A) x P(B|A) = P(A-AND-B) = P(B) x P(A|B) The rule is general; it always works. If A and B are independent, then P(B|A) = P(B), and the answer will be the same as P(A) x P(B). © Lyle Crawford - 177 - A Common Confusion Joint probability and conditional probability are completely different things. Joint Probability…
Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor once said Tacitus. This quote shows just how great old and standard things can be such as being able to drive a car instead of being driven. Out of all the new technologies releasing into the world, self-driving cars seem to be the future of the automobile. Even if this technology is still currently limited, in a few years there may not even be a word known as a driver. Cars with drivers are what makes a car a car not cars without…
Today’s theory is on the CW show called Legends of Tomorrow. If you have been watching the show since reason one than you know that Rip Hunter is missing from the show. In this article, I will be explaining where I think he is. First of all, I do think that he is alive. While he could have died, I do believe that he is still alive because of the proof that I have of his location. I believe that he was apprehended by the Reverse-Flash. In addition, I believe that he was the one that built the…
Today, in society humans pretend to believe that automation does not have an impact on humanity and humanities success route. They believe that it will somehow destroy all economic jobs. “By 2018, automation is going to be in a full swing in the United States and around the world. There are estimates that it could replace fifty percent of our jobs,” stated by Gray Scott. Scott indicates that, there is a chance that automation could replace fifty percent of our jobs but however, fifty percent of…
