The first day of school in 8th grade, I walked into my science class and Mr. Davis told everyone to get a sheet of paper to write on. The assignment was to write about the creation of the universe, Mr.Davis along with my Principal would be reading our papers to see our writing abilities at the beginning of the year, and then we would write the same paper at the end of the year to compare them. We had three options--the Big Bang Theory, The Oscillating Universe Theory, or The Accelerating…

Growing up, you may have been told it's not cool to be a "nerd." Well, we've got 10 people who would beg to differ. These 10 smartest people of all time are not only incredibly accomplished, but they're also insanely smart. Check out the full list below. A child prodigy who is now considered to be the greatest German mathematician of all time, Carl Gauss had an estimated IQ between 250 and 300. Gauss was particularly adept in the study of electromagnetism.English physicist Thomas Young had an IQ…

John Seal, a Los Angeles-based artist, has worked in a group show “Made in Space” at Gavin Brown Enterprise in the summer of 2013, artists including Jim Isermann, Patrick Jackson, David Korty, Liz Larner, and William Leavitt. Currently, his solo exhibition "I Upon My Frontiers Here Keep My Residence" is on view at the same gallery again. Upon entry, there are a series of works where the outlines of a jacket are invaded by a bouquet of colorful shapes and flowery images that populate the surface…

Would you know who I'm talking about if I said that a great man once changed the world. "Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things." A famous quote from sir Isaac Newton himself trying to explain that people over complicated things and that the word is really, simple. Everyone knows who is accused Newton is, but not everyone knows his biography, his innovations, and his impact he's had on the modern day world. Sir Isaac Newton was born 1642,…

Growing up on a small farm in a small town such as Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England is not usually an indicator of great genius and future success. However, in the case of Sir Isaac Newton it is quite the opposite. In order to begin to understand how this one man was able to answer the great questions of his time, we must first look into his life. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 on his father's small farm. He was born to Isaac Newton Sr. and Hannah Ayscough Newton. His life was…

Analysis for Formation of In-Groups This essay will analyze the article Formation of In-Groups by Gordon W. Allport. In this article, Allport explains that each person is a member of certain groups in which all the other members share the same values. He goes on to explain all the different types of in-groups and how the formation of them has led to prejudice against other in-groups, or “out-groups”. Allport begins the article with explaining how a person might become a member of an in-group,…

result. My celebration was cut short when my father woke me up for school. It turned out that my singular achievement had merely been part of a dream, a dream which my unconcious created from my fascination with the special relativity unit in the physics class I took at Pomona College. Perhaps the strongest lure of special relativity is its way of contradicting the most fundamental scientific observations. Concepts I always assumed to be true were proven wrong by Albert Einstein nearly a hundred…

As we all know our universe is very vast, every day it unfolds some new secrets in front of us. Like- many new planets, galaxies, asteroids, meteoroid, comets are seen by our great scientists every day. Every new element of universe reveal many secrets such as- proper determination of evolution of earth, about earth's surface, extinct animals, plants, about life on other planets and many more. But all these discoveries totally depend on the instruments which we use to explore the universe. And…

People just think of science as a boring, difficult topic. There’s more to science then just formulas and hypothesizes. Think of a giant panda bear for example, where did they come from, who found them? Scientist found out all this fun information about different animals. The giant panda bear interests me because they are cute, fluffy, big and one of my favorite animals. This paper will help me and you learn a little more about the giant panda bear. So as we already know the giant panda bear is…

I decided to pursue this degree because my first chemistry teacher inspired me. She is an amazing woman. Previously she had the job that I would eventually like to have and has a family, productive life, and also able to maintain all of her hobbies. I want to pursue this degree because I want to have a successful life like hers. I also want this degree because I love chemistry I believe that chemistry is my true passion. I have loved chemistry from the moment I started it. I wish to pursue a…
