Matter of Britain

Dark matter and dark energy are phantoms of the scientific community. The scientific community has tried to detect dark matter for decades. Hairy dark matter could be the key to the secrets of the Big Bang and the events that occurred afterwards. Condensed filaments of dark matter, hairs, in our galactic neighborhood could be used to gather incredible amounts of data that was previously unavailable to us. Hairy dark matter is a type of dark matter, formed by the gravity of space objects, that…

John Sinclair Dr. Philip Carlson General Physics I 11/28/2015 Physics Worldview Paper 6.67408 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2. This number is the universal gravitational constant. It is an empirical physical constant denoted by the capitol letter G. The gravitational constant was first used in Newton’s law of universal gravitation [1] which states that any two bodies attract one another with a force which is directly proportional to the product of the two masses, and inversely proportional to the square…

In the beginning of this article from Sciencenews it is talking about the two cosmic magnifying glasses that are letting astronomers see a peek of a few faint galaxies that could have occurred as far back as 600 million years before the Big Bang. These tiny galaxies could have possibly played a large part in cosmic reionization. Rachel Livermore an astronomer at the University of Texas at Austin says “That when they detected galaxies as faint they did it supports the idea that a lot of little…

accurate description to how the universe originated without adding assumptions or as Turok likes to say, “ingredients”. The main component that has had countless scientists stumped is how to make a theory that explains singularity, a point in which all matter and energy in the universe was compressed…

In The Song of Roland, translated by John O'Hagan, the antagonist, Ganelon, believes he is purposely volunteered by his stepson to go on a suicide mission. As a result, he is greatly angered by this and seeks revenge. In The Nibelungenlied, Kriemhild, the princess of Burgandy, falls in love with and marries a noble prince, who is murdered by her kin. Through the help of heathen kings, both of these characters seek revenge after being wronged by their kin and face a brutal end as a consequence of…

From doing my Synthesis on paper Black holes, I acquired valuable knowledge on various theories on black holes and its effect on the nearby objects. To have a deeper understanding of this serious subject, I had an opportunity to interview Prof. Andrea Ghez from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCLA. Dr. Ghez has been serving as the Director of the Galactic Centre Group, at UCLA for the last nine years and is working in the department of Physics and Astronomy where she teaches students…

It is one of his first major works of art, and was completed when he was merely twenty-seven years of age. His choice of a controversial and taboo subject matter helped to launch his career. It depicts a scene from the infamous wreckage of French Naval frigate Méduse. On July 2, 1816, the vessel ran aground off the coast of Western Africa in the Bay of Arguin. By July 5th, The one hundred and forty-seven people…

What are Dark Matter and Dark Energy? Introduction: To start with, Dark Matter is invisible material that permeates the galaxies. It exerts a gravitational influence on the stars causing them to deviate from Newton’s and Kepler’s laws. Dark Matter also affects members of a group of galaxies. The nature and composition of the Dark Matter are unknown. In space there is a lot of totally empty space, the vacuum, which contains energy. This energy is variously called Dark Energy and also may be…

Throughout the Early Middle Ages, Knights were among some of the most respected people in all of Europe. Their willingness to fight for their king and be a loyal vassal made them a valuable asset to the king’s army. One of the values that knights prided themselves on was that of honor. The importance of honor in a knight’s everyday life is prevalently displayed in the poem The Song of Roland, a story about Charlemagne’s army during the Battle of Roncesvalles. Throughout the story, Count Roland…

One of the most strange and interesting things in my opinion is called a black hole. The most interesting thing about them is that they can completely make something disappear but the item keeps it's original mass. That is why I will be writing about black holes in this paper. People have been studying black holes for a long time. In 1915 Albert Einstein published his theory on black holes. But the same year Karl Schwarzschild proved that theory correct. And people have performed more and more…
