Introductory physics

regal thinking are illustrated by the fable, THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES by Hans Christian Andersen. One of the best-known physics examples of regal science is Aristotle’s geocentric solar system from the 4th century B.C. The strategy was simple enough and the original model was as simple as possible. It was, in fact simpler than today’s models. However, the narrative was barren. As the data became more precise, the necessary adjustments to the model became more complicated. Four hundred…

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…

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…

Some people measure time in days. I measure it in electrons. Another day passes. Commerce starts and halts. People rise and sleep. I add another electron to my hypothetical journey across the periodic table. And on the joyous occasion I land on a group 1A element, I wear a periodic table t-shirt. Why? Because those guys only have one valence electron, so donating one electron realizes their dream of having only full electron shells, of being energetically happy. Being generous is how I become…

I originally became curious about chemistry after I took a chemistry for engineers course at Blinn College. At the time I planned on becoming a physics major, and this was the only chemistry class required to be a physicist. Incidentally I actually failed the chemistry class. The following semester I took the course again. This time with a different teacher; who presented the material in a very interesting way. Their teaching style helped me to start understand the material and appreciate it.…

In the following, I will argue that Einstein’s discovery of the theory of special relativity was ultimately positive in terms of its benefits. First, Einstein’s discovery changed our understanding of space and time. Second, Einstein’s discovery has a positive effect on people’s daily lives, for example, the global positioning system (GPS). Third, Einstein’s theory of special relativity is a scientific theory, which according to dictionary.com is “a coherent group of propositions formulated to…

Alfred Wegener Alfred Wegener is one of the most important meteorologist that lived, he came up with a great theory. He believed that the continents were all joined at one point. No one believed him for a very long time. Everyone thought he was crazy, no matter how much evidence he came up with. He found out many different things that proved he was right. There were three main pieces of evidence he came up with, He found fossils on different continents, South america and Africa seemed to fit…

Not many people know what is etymology or what it means means. Etymology is the study of the origins of words and the way the words have changed in meaning and in context over time and history. Etymology allows someone to go in depth with its origin, meaning, and the way the meaning has changed. Knowing the origins of words or phrases is crucial to have conversations with other people in our society. By looking at the word assassin, the history of the word allows us to study its many meanings in…

Phyllis Wright wrote a letter. She was in the sixth grade. Phyllis wrote Albert Einstein. He won a Nobel Prize in Physics. Phyllis asked, “whether scientists pray, and if so, what do they pray for” (Einstein 9), in her letter to Einstein. Einstein responded back with a letter. He answered Phyllis’ question. Einstein’s letter is rhetorically effective. He appeals strongly to ethos. He appeals strongly to logos. Einstein uses context in his letter. He communicates well with his audience. Einstein…

of the 20th century. This essay will look at meitner’s life and discoveries. Examine each of her major discoveries. All her discoveries helped boost mankind into the future. Lise Meitner was one of the few women scientists of her time. She studied physics and chemistry, and she did research and experiments. She discovered new information and things. She contributed to the discovery of nuclear fission which had a big effect on the world . Which is when you split Atoms then it releases a lot of…
