Natural selection is a concept that has long since interested me, I consider it to mean “survival of the fittest”. Thus, looking upon this title, I deduced that the metaphor, which is used for comparison, implies the following principles of natural selection apply to knowledge development: there is variation in knowledge, the ‘fittest’ knowledge is most suitably adapted to the environment, and superseded knowledge is not fit to survive. Questions and doubts thereby arise: What is meant by the…

rnest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in Spring Grove, on the South Island of New Zealand. Rutherford resided in a family of 12 children, whose mother was a teacher and strongly believed in a good education for her children. Without this education, Rutherford would not have affected the atomic structure as much as he did. Rutherford, specializing in Physics, in 1895 was the very first research student at University of Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory in London. While at the Cavendish Lab…

Conclusion Through burning varied solutions in a flame the information that is found becomes very useful. While burning any solution in a flame it produces a flame on the visible line spectrum. This flame color allows for a brief understanding of the energy the solutions possess. The least energy in the visible light spectrum is the color red and the most energy is violet. According to the data found in the experiment we come to the conclusion that the least energy is Lithium Nitrate due to…

“My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.” -Stephen Hawkings. This is exactly what Stephen Hawking is working to do by piecing together parts of the universe. Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. When Hawking was young, he showed a strong passion for science and the sky. When he was 21, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS. ALS is a very progressive disease…

Brandeis University which he then graduated from and got a degree in history. In his writing career, he has discovered a lot of amazing yet confusing theories. Which include Quantum gravity, m-theory, string theory, supersymmetry and quantum field theory. He also explored the relationship between the fields theory and the quantum. As well as the differences in the topology of manifolds of two and…

Have you ever seen The Simpsons on TV and saw Stephen Hawking in one of the episodes in that show? Believe it or not, one of the most famous physicists of the 20th century was presented on one of the popular animated comedies in America, The Simpsons. His presence on the show was comical but Stephen Hawking was more than a made up animated character, he was an actual person with a brilliant mind. Although Stephen Hawking has a disability of motor neurone disease, he was able to continue his work…

Spectroscopy is the study of objects, which is represented on the spectrum of color they radiate. An interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter. Spectroscopy involves the process of absorption, emission, or scattering of electromagnetic radiation by either ions, atoms, or molecules. The process of absorption involves when light is absorbed by electrons that jump to higher energy levels. On the other hand, emission spectra are established when the electrons from high energy levels give…

October 14, 2015 Olga Naomi Sokolova Why is there redundancy in the genetic code? Does this seem like a useful feature of the genetic code? Why or why not? There is redundancy because there are more codons than there are amino acids, so quite a few amino acids are represented by more than one codon. This is beneficial because if there is a mistake during transcription that damages one of the codons, a visible and detrimental mutation may not occur because all of the others would still be able…

Albert Einstein was an amazing scientist, and if you have ever heard of the scientific equation E=mc2, guess who came up with that? Albert Einstein. Also, if you have ever heard of the theory of relativity, The quantum theory of light, or Brownian movement? Also Einstein, was a genius, with an IQ of 160, which is 20 over genius. Moreover on his intelligence, his brain was larger than most, and head also larger, but not so at his final years. Without Albert Einstein, we wouldn't have the Atomic…

St. Albert the Great, who was also known as Albert of Cologne,was a great thinker of his time. He was a great natural scientists, physicist, theologian, mathematician, chemist, geographer, and astronomer. St. Albert also was a teacher of St.Thomas Aquinas. St. Albert was born around 1200 AD. There is not much known about his childhood and birth, and many sources disagree on his early life. Research suggests he was sent to Padua University, while he was there he was taught in the writing of…
