standing on a platform (VCE Physics, 2017). When passing the observer on the platform, it is expected that the light would be moving at 1.5 times the speed of light as you add the speed of the train to the speed of light (VCE Physics, 2017). However, due to special relativity, light is constant from every perspective, resulting in time being altered. This is because more time has passed for the observer on the platform than in the carriage, hence creating a time dilation (VCE Physics,…

inspired me to strive for a career in the aerospace industry. Researching into "How feasible are propulsion theories for interstellar travel?" for my EPQ allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of aerospace engineering. I was immersed in the physics and engineering world when I explored unfamiliar areas such as Antimatter Rockets and Special Relativity. Reading Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw's "Why Does E=mc2?: (And Why Should We Care?)" made me realise that it was possible to achieve long…

In Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein and the Creature seem different. God created man in his own image and as Victor played the role of God it shows that he may have created the creature in his own image. Victor and his creation may not look similar, however, both seem highly intelligent and crave knowledge. Many differences can distinguish the two characters and many instances seen throughout the novel show the creature and his creator are one in the same. From Victor…

Priest — Physicist — Philosopher A priest, a physicist, and a philosopher go into a bar … ostensibly, to consider principles of religion and science. One is an idealist. One is a materialist. One is a pragmatist. One is a religious scientist; but which one is which? — The physicist wonders how the universe works, but never asks why, because, to ask why is to become a metaphysician. — The philosopher thinks he knows why, but never asks how it works, for to ask how requires one to become a…

COSMOLOGY as A Branch of Astrophysics or as Metaphysical Science which studies the origin, structure, dynamics, evolution, and eventually the destiny of The Universe. What is Astrophysics? It is the branch of astronomy that uses the principals of physics and chemistry in studying The Universe. What Is Metaphysical? ‘Metaphysical’ is Something Highly Abstract and/or Overly Theoretical, that is difficult or impossible to observe by the own physical senses. Therefore, Metaphysical Cosmology…

Science: Known as both writer and poet, Shakespeare not only influenced the ways of Literature, but also the ways of Science. In his writings we can see the Science and logic behind his words, which is to be expected for he did live during the First Stage of the Scientific Revolution. There is a book called The Science of Shakespeare by Dan Falk, that explains how much he was connected to the world and its new discoveries. In it Falk discusses how Shakespeare “observed human nature just as…

Introduction The Time Machine and the Sound of Thunder are both science fiction stories. Their central plots are about Time Travel. Compare and contrast these two stories. This assessment has asked me to compare and contrast the stories of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells and The Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury. In this assignment the differences in language and characters will be compared and contrasted. The genre of the short story will be contrasted with the short novel. The different ways the…

greatest thinkers of the seventeenth and eighteenth century. He was known as the last "universal genius," who made insightful and important contributions to the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, logic, philosophy of religion, as well as mathematics, physics, geology, and history. One of the significant renaissance men of western thoughts. As an inventive and noble philosopher, Leibniz is appointed with developing the philosophical reasoning of optimism. It is permissible to speak of…

Physics: Analogy of Light and Sound Light and sound share many common aspects. Today, we will study some of notable similarities and differences between the two. We can perceive both light and sound. We see through eyes and hear through ears. Both light and sound are waves. Light is an electromagnetic wave whereas sound is a mechanical wave. Light is created by interaction of electric and magnetic field. It does not require any medium for propagation, so it can propagate in free space. On the…
