The Hindenburg was one of Zeppelin and Ludwig Dürr’s most successful airship. By 1936, the Hindenburg had concluded ten very successful trips which made it very popular and well known.…

One of the most captivating questions in astronomy today is the how our solar system formed? Not only does the answer adds an insight to other similarly forming systems, but also satisfies our curiosity about the origin of our species. It is extremely unlikely that astronomers will ever know with absolute scientific clarity how our system originated, they can however construct similar theoretical models with faiths of gaining a better understanding. With that being said a simple understanding of…

new modified Bt gene into a single corn plant cell. There are a few methods for this process such as using a gene gun or agrobacterium. The gene gun (micro-projectile bombardment method) is basically where the Bt gene is loaded into a high pressure helium powered gun and fired at the plant cell. This gene will not push through the membrane of the plant cell unless it is connected to very small gold or tungsten particles which will push through the cell membrane and takes the Bt gene in with it.…

All energy resources impact the environment, both in a negative and positive manner. Many of the environmental complications the world is fronting today is a result of Fossil fuel. Fossil fuel is currently the primary source of energy in the world. We as humans use fossil fuels in our everyday lives, these include transportation, habitation, electronics and industrial activities, but these resources have been maltreated hence it is said that we are the most polluting species on earth. Fossil…

An atom is known as the basic unit of a chemical element; however, atoms are no longer considered the smallest particle in existence. From approximately 460 BC to present day 2015, human knowledge about atomic particles has drastically changed. Over the years, research has led to new discoveries involving atoms, subatomic particles, and quarks. Several philosophers including Leucippus, Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Gell-Mann have contributed to humanity 's vast knowledge about…

Next the visitor moves to an interactive butterfly exhibit that depicts a step illustration of the life cycle of the butterfly. This also provides an example of the complexity and development of God’s creation. The visitor continues to walk into the next room, which is completely green filled lush vegetation illustrations, live plants, trees, and animals such as insects, fish and finches. This is where he or she is introduced to the Day 5 exhibit. Again, green plaques provide scriptural…

In Cherry Lewis’s "The Dating Game", she analyzes the autobiography of Arthur Holmes, the English geologist known for his advancements in radioactive dating and theories on the Earth and how it has aged. To put it into perspective, the book tracks how ideas vary vastly over one man’s day. Arthur Holmes was an influential pioneer in the findings and research of his theory in the mid 1800's, so Kelly depicts his views as time has passed. Through the use of literary analysis, autobiographies, and…

Scott wakes up as the room is illuminated. The lighting has a strange white tint, but not enough to annoy the eye. There is also a faint odor that smells of garbage. As he opens his eyes, Scott discovers he is sitting in a chair at a table with five creatures that he has never seen before. Seated directly to his right is a brown, blob-like creature which seems to be where the garbage scent is coming from. To his left, at the head of the table, is a robot that has a human-like body, but its head…
