Science fiction, focuses its literature on the human being confronting a transition regarding his environment, encountering scientific discoveries, technological advancements, and drastic changes in society and in nature. Throughout the texts authors focus to provide “What if?” questions pushing both the author & reader to different possibilities and outcomes. Sci-Fi tries to explain all known to existence; this genre is mainly focused in the society as a whole, how the humans got to be what…

As time will only tell…. As the world of science continues to evolve, areas of the unknown are exposed to human life. Albert Einstein was the mastermind behind producing formulae in regards to disproving some of Isaac Newton’s theories on how gravity affected large and distant objects, especially that in relation to mass and energy. Although receiving a Nobel Prize for his work in the photoelectric effect, arguably his greatest development was the area of relativity. The basis of the theory of…

1915. In those years, Wernher von Braun became interested in music and astronomy. And his passion, astronomy, went on for all his life. In 1925, he went to a boarding school. Surprisingly, Wernher von Braun was not successful in mathematics and physics; even though he had already realized his passion for astronomy when he was younger, with a telescope from his mother. This present made him keep on dreaming about astronomy. Moreover, this telescope…

I argue that many different branches of science are reducible to one fundamental one- physics. In this essay, I will use Pasteur’s work to demonstrate that biology and chemistry are reducible to physics - the study of interactions between matter and energy. By reducible, I mean that these sciences (and other hard sciences) can be simplified to the point where they deal with the same fundamental matters as physics. During the 1700s, chemists engaged in a long-standing debate over what caused…

Isaac Newton is known worldwide for many famous discoveries. He was an extremely intelligent man. Some of the most famous of his discoveries included discovering lots of information in optics, motion, mathematics, and a ton of laws and rules for physics that we use almost everyday today. Isaac Newton lived a very intelligent and successful life. He never had any children and never was married either. He spent most of his time in science. As he grew older, and was around 80, he began to start…

When looking at any successful scientist or pilot there are some traits that each one must possess. Throughout Kitty Ferguson’s biography Stephen Hawking: An Unfettered Mind and the fictional novel The Genome by Sergei Lukyanenko the protagonists Stephen Hawking and Alex Romanov share many qualities and similarities about how they work, in their respective fields of work, and how they handle situations when introducing a new concept or flying a spacecraft. Not only do these characters show…

In Pursuit of the Unknown by Ian Stewart is about seventeen equations that have not only impacted mathematics and science but have also contributed to human advances to a great extent. According to Stewart, we generally disregard the historical link between mathematics and technological progress but this connection is integral to any complete understanding of human history. These equations are essentially based on the patterns we find in the world around us and using them one can make sense and…

Creating an effective performance of stage combat or straight acting involves a great deal of preparation and thought. There are many elements that come together to create the show and as a performer there are several things that can be done to make the rehearsals leading up to it an effective use of time. Preparing physically and mentally for every rehearsal, spending some time discovering the character’s world, and being open to discussions and changes throughout the process. These are some of…

Fariña. He was born in Puebla, Mexico, and his family moved to the United States when he was two years old because his father was a Methodist minister. Baez grew up in Brooklyn and considered becoming a minister before turning to mathematics and physics. He made important contributions to the early development of X-ray microscopes and later X-ray telescopes.[1][2] Contents [hide] 1 Early life 2 Academic life 3 Retirement 4 References 5 Further reading Early life[edit] Baez's father was a…
