General relativity is fundamentally incompatible with quantum mechanics- they have been at odds with each other since its discovery in 1915- relativity breaks down at the subatomic level and vice versa. A conjecture by two physicists may finally reconcile relativity with quantum mechanics and put an end to the chain of inconsistencies began by Hawking’s information paradox. Albert Einstein first discussed the concept of quantum entanglement in a 1935 paper co-written with his colleagues Boris…
Pangea! It was the supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago. According to Alfred Wegener’s theory, long before us humans existed all of the continents used to be one large landmass. Who is Alfred Wegener you might ask? Alfred Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist, and meteorologist born in Berlin on November 1, 1880. I chose to research about Alfred Wegener’s life and his struggles because we are currently focusing on the continental drift theory in science class. He…
Albert Einstein designed his own laws of nature. He changed the way we use to see light, gravity, and time. Most scientists in our day in age agree with what Albert Einstein has declared, but some scientists seemed to not understand what he was saying. Albert Einstein gave scientists the ability to know that atoms and molecules exist through Brownian motion. Albert was one who experimented the photoelectric effect in which he established that light has both a wave and a particle. Light particles…
Abstract Henry Cavendish was a man of extraordinary intelligence but had a crippling social anxiety condition that isolated him from most all human interaction. He was born into a family of English Dukes on both his father and mother’s side and later became one of the wealthiest people in England. He was well educated and attended the best English schools but did not hold any type of formal degree. After college, Henry began following his father’s scientific footsteps. Being a follower of…
Jeremy Hsu's article, “Scientists Create First Ever Trap for Rainbows” (2009), asserts that anyone can capture rainbows. Hsu makes this argument by explaining how scientists have manipulated lens and other materials, such as glass, varying in thickness, size, and optical coating, to capture a rainbow when a laser beam was shone through it. Hsu’s motive is to inform readers of this discovery, which involves a rainbow, an optical phenomenon that has amazed people for several generations, in order…
One of the most important scientific discoveries is that of the atom. The Atom is the smallest unit of matter. “Atoms are mostly empty space” (OI/ https://www.thoughtco.com/interesting-facts-about-atoms-603817). It makes up all the four elements. “There are over 100 different kinds of atoms ”(OI/https://www.thoughtco.com/interesting-facts-about-atoms-603817).Over time the theories about the atom have changed a lot, moving from simple to complex. Before 1900, scientists made several…
Asal Bahmani 12.20.16 Franey//Adams Chem P.6 Going back through history the experiments, discoveries, and works of past scientists such as Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, and Rutherford have afforded us the opportunity to draw from their ideas to formulate a modern view and accurate understanding of the atom. Thanks to the evolution of atomic models. In the beginning, Democritus viewed the atom as a tiny, solid, round sphere, that was unable to be cut. He created the first model of an atom, that…
“Steel plates are commonly attached to each other with rivets, which are slipped into holes in the plates and rounded over with hammers. The hotness of the rivets makes them easier to round over, but their hotness has another important advantage in providing a tight fit. What is it? Explain why.” This relates to one of the characteristics of heat, in that heated objects expand, then contract when the temperature decreases, since the molecules move faster in heat and slow in the cold. The hot…
The definition of honor is high respect or esteem, my definition of honor is a person that is highly respected for doing something to contribute to the community. Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 to April 18, 1955) did many things during his lifetime he had many accomplishments and awards. Albert Einstein is highly respected by many people. Albert Einstein was physicist and mathematician who developed the theory of relativity. In 1921 Einstein won a Nobel Prize for physics and the photoelectric…
Keep batteries stored in LiPo-safe bags. How will you flow between the activities? Start with a whole group safety briefing and watch the Droneology videos all together on the projector. Break into teams to build, then come back together in P2 to talk through flight dynamics and essential terminology. Split to individual computers to take the Lesson 2 Quiz in C1. Come back together to watch the next batch of videos in C2 and end with a review of safety procedures in the DP. What does FPV stand…
