Gravitation

If you were to survey a group of individuals on the street about which modern marvel seems to be the most revolutionary, answers back would vary. Some would reply the computer, perhaps the fact that humans can travel hundreds of miles within a single day thanks to air travel. Nevertheless the range in replies, it would not be surprising to not hear the very thing that has spared the life of each individual: the modern sanitation movement. Largely left in the past, the heros in the battle against…

I am not a superhero and neither are you, but we as sentient human beings have the (super) power to always seek out the best in ourselves and others. It is our natural attraction towards self-actualization that influences the many decisions, experiences, and encounters we will have in our daily life. A major factor in this entire journey is our personality. Personality refers to our characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting that makes us distinct and unique. Superheroes are…

Romantic comedy is the genre of choice for Mindy Kaling and other people looking for cheesy humor and a “meet cute” scenario, leading to an idealistic love connection capable of…

Renaissance Science In Europe, people began to question things that surrounded them. They began to study Art, Science and Religion. People became more interested in human anatomy, cutting up dead bodies to find out what’s inside. This was the beginning of the Renaissance. Then Early Scientists wanted to share their ideas, but writing was expensive and required a lot of time and material, so a smart man known as Johannes Gutenberg invented the first Printing Press, that allowed people to share…

beginning of time, in a paradisal world of sustained perpetual bliss, man was unflawed, an “infallible” construct, created and contrived by and in the image of an omnipotent being. However, a malevolent serpent—an embodiment of mankind’s insatiable gravitation to depravity—tempted man into partaking the forbidden fruit, considered to be a manifestation of corruption’s scarlet allure. As soon as the first man and woman of creation partook in the fruit, the souls of humanity were mauled, defaced…

how people viewed the universe. Galileo’s observations played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. Newton used his knowledge with previous astronomers, like Galileo. Hilliam says, “Isaac Newton combined laws of motions with his theory of gravitation to predict exactly how the planets orbit the Sun” (100). Newton’s law of gravity states that every object fall to the ground at the same speed. Even though Galileo had accomplished many things for science, “Galileo believed that his most…

spanning the globe, and the vast majority of those clocks move perpetually clockwise. However, Grace Hopper, a naval computer engineer, owned a clock that was the exception. Her clock moved counterclockwise (Cushman B6) and was an expression of her gravitation towards creative change instead of always solving problems in the same way. Throughout her career, her personal conviction shone through as she shook up computing for the better. As a naval computer engineer, Hopper developed a dream goal…

Often described as being “one of the greatest names in the history of human thought,” Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, scientist, and mathematician (Domski 1). His discoveries dealing with optics, gravity, and math greatly influenced the world and the effects are lasting still today. Sir Isaac Newton, though widely remembered for his mathematics and scientific accomplishments, was a man of God, whose faith can clearly be seen throughout his life. Newton was born on Christmas day in…
