When a star is born it can take one of two paths. It can either take the path of a high mass star or the path of a low mass star. A high mass star will be between 10-50 solar mass and a low mass star will be between .8-10 solar masses. One solar mass is equal to M⊙ = (1.989±0.004) x 1030 kg, which is A LOT. Either path it takes, the one of a high mass or low mass star it will live about 90% of it’s lifetime in its main sequence. Once achieving nuclear fusion the star slowly contracts over…
For generations upon generations people around the world have asked the question, “If god is good, why is there evil in the world?”. On first observation of this simple question one sees what seems to be a fundamental flaw in the Christian belief. John Hick attempts to solve this life- changing question and prove that it has no effect on the essential belief of God. He defines this “Problem of Evil” in the following dilemma: “If God is perfectly loving, he must wish to abolish evil; and if he is…
looked in the mirror. Her mouth opened as if to see the baby's head, red with purple veins, and five tufts of hair. He won't listen to "Dedication of a Plot of Ground," or "The head on a Pole." I would pluck the emerald bit from Orion's horse head nebula, and with a knife he slices, Williams, Neruda, Patchen, Vallejo. Their pages are pieces of leaves caught in the…

him mumbling to himself about it anyways. Spaceman Craig is in my bones, I know that. He’s still not getting it and I’m fed up because he’s my best friend, why doesn’t he understand? My emotions are the asteroids, of course, and my blood is every nebula, crashing together and forming beautiful red skies. That makes no sense, spaceman Craig would never explore blood and I snap and yell about how he knows nothing about spaceman Craig. Spaceman Craig would love to explore this because he wants to…
My individual attitude is that the Roman Catholic Church has impacted our society in many different aspects. Throughout the era of Western Civilization until 2016, education, politics and art have remained imperative. Without the knowledge and creativeness of our prehistoric Roman Emperors, and Popes the Catholic Church would cease to exist today. The Roman Catholic Church is a contribution to the study of Science. For instance; Father Giambattista was the first person to document the rate of…
The reaction to Marvel’s next superhero flick has been more positive than even the optimistic main actor, Chris Pratt could have hoped for. Insanely risky, even for Marvel’s standards, Guardians of the Galaxy features a talking raccoon, a green Saldana and a talking tree. To top it all off, it’s directed by James Gunn, notorious writer of both Movie 43 and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Despite all the potential for disaster (there’s plenty), the film has been hailed as an entertaining,…

nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is where the hydrogen atoms in the sun’s core are turned into helium atoms (Fusion, n.d.). Scientists believe that this reaction began when a huge cloud of gas and particles (a nebula) collapsed under the force of its own gravity. This is what is known as the Nebula Theory. This collapse not only created the huge light ball (the Sun) at the center of our Solar System, but it also triggered a process where hydrogen, collected in the core, began fusing to create…
