Particle physics

Plato once said, “Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world into another.” Obviously, astronomy has always been an interest to mankind. We look up into the night sky and feel an urge, something pulling us towards the stars. Many people have been influential in discoveries involving the stars and the planets beyond. From Galileo Galilei to Stephen Hawking, we have learned and discovered amazing things about the universe, and in recent discoveries we have wondered if…

To address the physics behind observed anomalous behavior of Hc2 (T), Gurevich, and Gloubov and Koshelov theory was developed. The unique benefit of this approach is that the details of complex Fermi surface of MgB2 is not necessary to calculate Hc2 [132]. The impurity…

other intelligent life? Is it possible that they created our universe? While this notion may sound outlandish and completely irrational, there is actually quite a bit of logical evidence to back it up. All it would take to create a universe is a particle accelerator only slightly more powerful than the Large Hadron Collider. When the LHC was fired up in 2008, there was controversy over whether or not it would create a black hole that would swallow the earth; which is not likely to happen.…

When the state equation of a model is an autoregressive process with unknown constant coefficients, EnKF can be easily modified to include Monte Carlo estimation of the constant coefficients. We recall that the standard particle filtering method suffers from weight degeneracy especially when the estimation includes static parameters. EnKF, however, does not suffer from degeneracy and provides a good estimate of the coefficients by integrating a sample minimum mean square estimate (MMSE) of the…

Within “Frost at Midnight,” Samuel Coleridge validates the importance of self-reflection through solitude. Coleridge creates a scenic image of the world around the speaker during the time of his solitude. During his time alone, the speaker reflects about his childhood and the aspiration he has for the infant child sleeping in the cottage. The importance of solitude demonstrated in “Frost at Midnight” by the feelings the speaker has, the time intervals from present to past, and the speaker’s…

No one would have believed, in the last years of the 19th century, that physics was heading for a crisis. It seemed like all the large questions had been answered. The behaviour of bodies, from asteroids to galaxies, was predicted by Sir Isaac Newton 's laws of gravity and motion. Magnetism, electricity and light were linked by James Clerk Maxwell’s Equations. The understanding of the atom had reached the plum pudding stage, where an atom was a globe of 'stuff ' with the positive and negative…

specifically physics and chemistry. While my decision varied from veterinarian to author and everything in between from elementary school to my freshman year of high school, I remembered the passion those nights with my father had sparked so long ago, and my major seemed clear: astronomy, or as I later realized, astrophysics. Astronomy is a field of science that studies space, and astrophysics is a branch that focuses on the physical and chemical aspects. Since I had always loved chemistry,…

Introduction I would describe myself as an engineering enthusiast, and have wanted to create things ever since I can remember. While it’s really hard to pin-point exactly why I’ve always wanted to become an engineer. I love the engineers give a purpose to mathematics and science, and use them to create the tools of our world. I want to experience the intellectual challenges engineers face. Engineers are paid well, and encouraged by everyone to solve the biggest problems of today. This report…

4. Analysis of Keller’s Assimilationist View of the Relationship between Theology and Natural Science Based on aforementioned discussions, I notice that Keller acknowledges that there is not only consistency but also autonomy to a certain degree between theology and science. To be specific, for Keller, while claiming for “the reconciliation of religion and science” , she sees that theology has its own right in presenting the seemingly impersonal infinity of the cosmos as the creation of…
