Albert Einstein said, “No object can travel faster than the speed of light.” However, will the temperature change the brightness of light? The researcher will perform the test three different times. Each test will take one glow stick from the freezer, one from the refrigerator, one in boiling water, and one from the counter and break the glow stick to make it glow. The researcher will then time the length of time it takes for the glow stick to turn off. At the conclusion of the experiment, the…

Shulver (2012) emphasized that service concept acts as guideline for employees to know their roles, responsibilities and identify their contribution to the service delivered to customers. Walker (2014) Although Wayne is an experienced and skilled car mechanic; he lacks the necessary experience and skills in service operations management. These difficulties have surfaced many times, yet nothing has been done as he is focused on the day-to-day repairs and other service jobs. He should be aware…

Henrietta Leavitt and Stephen Hawking are similar in a variety of different ways. Both Hawking and Leavitt have contributed a great deal to science. Stephen Hawking had discovered that radiation can escape black holes, and Leavitt had discovered the period-luminosity relationship as well as being fundamental in defining the size of the universe. According to the article on Henrietta Leavitt, “Before Leavitt established the period-luminosity relationship, astronomers could determine cosmic…

her one true love, however, as the clock turns hours to days and days to years, details begin to protrude, warping the facade of childhood stories to their true state, presenting anything but a happy ending. Such stories are presented as Popular Mechanics by Raymond Carver, The Cold Equations by Tom Godwin, and This Year’s Class Picture by Dan Simmons, these three tales strive to entertain and warn about the choices and consequences of life and how it is not always what is desired. These three…

unable to connect to Houston, and are faced with space debris travelling at a high velocity. Wolf Kohn – a former NASA Engineer – says that this scene is inaccurate as the debris is travelling at a velocity that is too high. According to orbital mechanics, the higher an object’s orbit, the slower its velocity, and the longer the amount of time it takes to complete an orbit. Therefore, objects in the same orbit should have the same relative velocity; unless coming from a higher or a lower…

Isaac Newton Isaac Newton had a number of famous discoveries, from his theories of optics to his outstanding work on the laws of motion and gravity, made the basis for modern physics. The true genius of his work is how he took those theories and compared them to the universe at large, these explained the motions of the Sun and planets in a way that had never been done before. Newton dreams up the laws of gravity and the rest. Newton became the first to figure out that white light is made up a…

Sir Isaac Newton was born on December 25th, 1642. As Newton grew up he was recognized as a very knowledgeable physicist, mathematician, author and astronomer. He excelled in both math and physics and has been developing theories since his early twenties. Isaac Newton attended a grammar school in Grantham near Lincolnshire, where as during this time Newton became very interested with chemicals. In 1664 Newton at that time was a student, he read up on work containing optics and light. He was…

Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) is a tool to study thermal emission resulting from non-radiative relaxation followed by absorption of radiation. PAS was studied primarily by Alexander Graham Bell, John Tyndall, Wilhelm Rontgen and Lord Rayleigh in 1884. For the history of PAS, was not until 1975 that photoacoustic spectroscopy started to be used as a wide range of different applications. This technique provides the following main advantages over the known types of spectroscopy. The advantages…

co-presence in the light of physics, mathematics, and cosmology, he appeals to the examples of non-Hausdorff manifolds and Cantor’s threefold concept of the finite, the transfinite, and the infinite in mathematics and to the non-locality of quantum mechanics. Thereby, he renders co-presence as an infinite fractal-like character. To be more specific, gleaning from Pannenberg the idea of the dialectical mutual indwelling of the finite and the infinite, based on Hegel’s concept of…
