how one can even try to understand how the world therein functions. Many theoreticians have created bodies of text to explain how the world functions ranging from concepts such as the Big Bang Theory to even more contemporary theories such as the Higgs Boson Theory. However, more important than explaining how the universe came to be—in my opinion—is the understanding of how humans rationalize their current states both social and political. While offering nebulous ideas about how the universe…
should have its beginnings in the recent past. Between 1750 and 1800 humans were able to access fossilised fuels and gases, which unleashed the human enterprise. Since then, mankind has had an explosion of discovery and innovation; from finding the Higgs Boson particle, to living in societies where people possess phones that have more computing power than NASA had in 1969. While there has been an almost immeasurable impact on the Earth from human activities in the last 250 years, many scientists…
A German Jewish mathematician, known for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Amalie Emmy Noether was described by many other famous mathematic theorists as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. An article on Applied Mathematics gives a brief insight into the importance of her work: Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet…
In this essay I argue that Socrates would most likely choose to support the philosopher candidate to be the next president because he would consider the other two candidates unfit to rule. The reason that Socrates would much sooner support the philosopher candidate is that one of the most pertinent conclusions he reaches in The Republic is that only true philosophers are fit to rule a government. I also believe he would side with the philosopher because the prompt particularly states that this…
