The first day of school in 8th grade, I walked into my science class and Mr. Davis told everyone to get a sheet of paper to write on. The assignment was to write about the creation of the universe, Mr.Davis along with my Principal would be reading our papers to see our writing abilities at the beginning of the year, and then we would write the same paper at the end of the year to compare them. We had three options--the Big Bang Theory, The Oscillating Universe Theory, or The Accelerating…
HUBBLE REASEARCH Astronomer Edwin Hubble reversed the field of astrophysics his research helped prove the universe is expanding, and he created a classification system for galaxies that had been used for several decades.Mr. Hubble displayed a classification system that had been used for years. Edwin Hubble was born November 20th, 1889 in Missouri. He died on September 28th, 1953. He played a crucial role in establishing the field of extragalactic. He is known today as being one of the greatest…
Time where the amount of progress of existence is presented in the past, present, future that shapes us humans. Time brings us to a character we are meant to be. Time brings us situations that provide us ways to develop how we may be viewed by others. In the novel Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand illustrates the growth of a boy to a man which is named Louie. Hillenbrand represents a soldier in the time of war which shaped Louie to the man he needed to become to realize the true problems out there in…
Dark matter and dark energy are perhaps the biggest mysteries in the universe. Dark matter makes up 26% of the universe, dark energy makes up 69% of the universe, and ‘normal’ matter- everything visually observed in the universe- makes up only 5% of the universe. Dark matter and energy are thought to be explanations for various phenomena that have been observed in deep space. Dark matter is matter that cannot be detected by its absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation. Scientists…
The seatbelts purpose was to keep the egg secure during the impact. In order to do this, Newton’s first law had to be taken into consideration, objects at rest, stay at rest; object in motion, stay in motion… unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Because the egg would have kept going until acted on by an unbalanced force, we suspended it with rubber bands so that the unbalanced force to stop it would not be the ground but it would be the pressure applied by the rubber band. This also Apply…
Though the interior of the black hole is invisible, it can be viewed through its association with other objects. A black hole can be deduced by following the group of stars movement that orbits an area in a space. In other words, when gas enters stellar black hole from a companion star, the gas twists inwards, heating at a very high temperature and producing huge amounts of radiation that can be noticed from earthbound and earth-orbiting telescopes. Locations that black holes can easily be…
The study and understanding of physics, both classical and modern physics, are often difficult and sometimes, impossible to explain. Often times, the curious mind is told an answer that provokes three more questions than they had before. The ever growing questions about the universe all those who study physics have been brought about by both the expansive and incomprehensible size of our universe and the inability of the human brain to fully comprehend the world around us. Philosophers and…
Even when given proof of things that could be real, she dismisses them without a glance. She is stubbern and not easily persuaded, but loveable and kind so therefor, she is my second faveorite character in Distant Waves, Jane taking first plave. Emma/Amalie- These are the quirky twins who posess the “gift”- - that means that they are mediums and could see into the spirit world. Amalie has the gift more, and never speaks unless through Emma, which is why they are tetnically two people in…
Science is in everything, including religion and lack thereof. In this paper I will show how scientism is tied in with the aspects of religious faith and atheism. First and foremost science is defined as the analytical and empirical basis for understanding reality, truth is either analytically understood or empirically verifiable. Also the main arguments that will be discussed deal with the finely tuned universe, the teleological argument, the theory of pragmatism and biological evolution.…
Was the earth made thousands of years ago or millions of years ago? The earth is something that humans have theorized about for many years, but we don’t know which ones are right or wrong. One of the most controversial ideas that humans have is how old the earth is. People have come up with two options, the first is the New Earth idea which believes that the earth was made thousands of years ago, the other idea is the Old Earth perspective where people believe the earth was made millions of…
