instance, “Black Lives Matter” is a phrase created to represent a movement that continues to be a problem in our society “black lives.” Why choose the word matter? How does matter correlate to the significance of justice and race to represent black lives? In the book Citizen, by Claudia Rankine and the Spike Lee Film, Fight the Power, both depict/interpret the meaning of “matter” of racial injustice in their writing and film. Rankine’s writing in her vignettes relates to various “matters” of…

mainly about how these people use plasma to their advantage. He talks about how schools never teach us about plasma, how it 's the fourth state of matter, and how 99% of the universe is plasma. I want to learn how plasma is used on earth, why they don’t teach about plasma in school and the benefit of plasma in the universe. Plasma, the state of matter, is the most common form of…

inquisitive mind reading this, will immediately have two distinct phrases come to mind: Dark matter and dark energy. From being mentioned in groundbreaking scientific journals and television and movie series’ to even this essay you are reading, dark matter and its existence has made quite the impression on scientists, documentarians and aspiring students.…

Energy is a mysterious and everlasting component which exists within the universe; it is the existential source of power which human beings have harnessed through technology in order to progress and evolve. It is fair to note that energy is quintessential to every action and reaction occurring in the universe at all times. Furthermore, the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be transferred between different forms and states and even between…

I leave this quarter more aware of my weaknesses than I started. However, I believe that I am also more prepared to address them on a personal level than I was three months ago. I continue to lack follow-through. My desk is littered with sticky notes and unfinished drafts. I believe that the solution to this is to carve a space in my day, every day, for writing creative work. I have made plans to adjust my schedule to address this, and while it will not go into effect until fall quarter, I am…

used a method different than most star gazers of the time. He mapped out the stars in relation to each other, instead of the traditional grid method used at the time (Smith 2013). He started out by studying the Society papers on natural history and matter theory, after he joined the Bath Philosophical Society in 1780. He also reached out to the experts of the time Joseph Priestley and John Mitchell on proper construction of astronomical telescopes. After he did his research, he started his…

Researches have located a truly colossal black hole at the heart of the recently discovered galaxy known as SAGE0536AGN. The oddly enormous supermassive black hole is approximately thirty times larger than it should be and astronomers cannot seem to figure out why. Researchers from U.K.’s Keele University and the University of Central Lancashire have recently discovered a new black hole that defies all logic. The galaxy, which houses this supermassive black hole, was discovered using NASA’s…

Nevertheless, the existence of dark matter has been widely accepted henceforth, and research into it is ongoing. Astronomers have recently discovered a galaxy without the existence of dark matter(Shelton). Dark matter cannot actually be seen or detected itself, but, as Zwicky found, it causes immense levels of gravity. This newly discovered galaxy has only the normal amount of gravity you would expect to find due to its stars, planets, and general cosmic junk, unlike every other galaxy we’ve…

Dark matter makes up roughly 23% of the universe, and is thought to be the cause of its expansion. Dark matter was first proposed by Swiss astronomer, Fritz Zwicky when he noted that galaxies are flying away to fast. He noticed that galaxies are flying away to fast that they should fly apart, dissolve under Newtonian Laws of Motion. He thought the coma cluster may be saved if it were 100x more matter than you can see. Theres two possibilities left. Newton was wrong or something was missing.…
