The all-powerful being whether they be fictitious, legitimate or suppositional; is often encased by an atmosphere of queries. There are many different interpretations of what such an almighty being would be able to do. But first we must address the question of who we are speaking of. Western religions, over eastern faiths such as Hinduism and Buddhism, are often monotheistic in their descriptions of the almighty. These ideas are clearly laid out in the holy books of these religions, “he is…
Exploration: Research Question: How does the travel distance of light waves affect the distance between the constructive interference fringes in the Double Slit experiment? Personal Engagement/Topic: Light is seen everywhere, artificial and natural. It is so common, that no one really questions it. But what is light made of? Intuitively, I would answer that visible light is a particle. It makes sense, doesn’t it? The photon from the source shoots into the eye’s retina, and the eye’s rods and…
Artificial intelligence is simply intelligence exhibited by machines. It is also used as a term to describe the character of machines mimicking human intelligence. AI systems have problem-solving, reasoning or learning capabilities. General examples of AI include: Speech recognition: identifying and comprehending human speech Data analysis: finding patterns, interpreting complex data and reaching conclusions based on the analysis Gaming: playing chess with an AI opponent, playing advanced…
Time is a concept that for a long time was thought to be untouchable. This was until black holes were discovered. These collections of matter hold the seemingly supernatural effect to alter time as we know it. A black hole is a star that has collapsed and become so dense that it creates a gravitational field strong enough that nothing, not even light, can escape. When a star dies it leaves behind a very dense remnant core. If the core’s mass is more than three times the mass of the sun, the…
Please list and describe 2 instructional strategies you can use to improve Emma’s reading fluency. 1. Word accuracy comes before speed. To work on word accuracy the teacher can practice word work and phrase work with Emma to build her fluency and help her read and recognize words. The phrases can be part of the reading passages that are being worked on to help her read the passage more fluently and work towards automaticity. 2. Instruction on morphological awareness and semantic mapping.…
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, relativism can be defined as a “any theory or doctrine asserting the knowledge, truth, morality, etc., are relative to situations, rather than absolute” (“relativism”). However, this raises the idea that two opposing views can both be true, or both false, depending on the beliefs of society. Therefore, relativism is against the idea of a universal, and absolute truth. This paper will explore arguments for and against relativism in regards to truth…
The ancient Greeks contributed much to modern astronomy, inventing and utilizing the scientific method to study and chart the heavens through experiments, careful observation and meticulous records of their findings. However, they were not only good at the observational aspect of astronomy, but also the theoretical aspect as well, speculating about the Universe's size, structure and nature, and about everything that the Universe encompassed. Indeed, the Greeks were masters of this art, and their…
was a horse trained by the teacher of mathematics Von Osten, was able to think as human and read their mind (10). Moreover, Hans was tested by scientists to reveal the secret of his telepathy because it did not make sense how a horse could solve mathematical problems and give correct answers; nevertheless, the mystery was revealed: it was not special about Clever Hans, the study of Von Osten proved that horses are extremely sensitive to people’s unconscious movements (Heinzen, 10-16).…
The portrayal of the movie Rain Man lead to the stereotype that boys with autism are better at numeracy than literacy. In the movie, “Rain Man,” the main character, Raymond, is an autistic man who can quickly calculate complicated mathematical problems in his head with accuracy. This is an exaggerated stereotype that leads to the belief that all boys with autism have some sort of special talent. Jesus is on the spectrum and is no genius. He is in high school and does not know how to…
animal testing. The three “R’s” of animal experiments in labs are known as refine, reduce, and replace. Total replacement stands for the complete elimination of animals by using cells, microbes, and tissues, as well as computerized databases and mathematical diagrams. (“Fear of Phenolphthalein?”) I believe a good start for social change would be to start defining what veterinary proper care is- ensuring that animals are treated humanely and with respect. Then we can begin socializing and…
