make research opportunities with workforce accessible to students. Presently, our personnel are included in hypothetical, trial, and connected material science research. Ranges of examination incorporate biophysics, phenomenological ponders in quantum gravity, and techniques for instructing material science. Understudies are likewise urged to take part in summer temporary positions and research programs at different colleges and examination…
Nola Taylor Redd contributor of space.com “4.6 years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas know as a solar nebula. With the rise of the sun, the remaining material began to clump up. Small particles drew together, bound by the force of gravity, into larger particles. The solar wind swept away lighter elements, such as hydrogen and helium from the closer regions, leaving only heavy, rocky materials to create smaller terrestrial worlds like earth. But farther away, the solar winds had…
Albert Huang Mr. Robbins Period 5 3/14/15 Strength of the idea In the conversation defining the all-time greatest director in the movie industry, several names, may never be absent. Among those that legend isn’t a powerful enough word to describe their merits, one name has appeared like the transit of Venus.

Philosopher Daniel Dennett coined the term Intuition Pump in referring to a thinking tool that challenges our intuitive ideas or inspires new ones. In his book by the same name he offers up many such thinking tools, claiming that “these handy prosthetic imagination-extenders and focus-holders permit us to think reliably and even gracefully about really hard questions.” Among the thinking tools that Dennett points out are analogies and thought experiments, both of which are the topics here.13…
From the biggest cities to the smallest of molecules, the earth and its dynamics have been widely studied over the span of human history. Bright individuals have made astounding discoveries that has allowed the human race to come closer to finding an answer explaining the forces at work around them. Starting from the early days of the Grecian empire with Aristotle and Plato to the challenging ideals of Newton and Copernicus, science has been completely redefined and continues to grow as a…
T David Auburn’s play Proof is a very important play in many respects. While it is essentially a human drama that deals with conflict, doubt, lack of trust, lack of self-belief, and how these things affect relationships, it also highlights some vital themes such as mathematics, genius and mental illness, in a way that no other play has done. Examining the primary theme of mathematics and mathematics as a metaphor for life, by sheer action of using the rarefied field of mathematics as a…
Thousands of years ago, philosophers began to argue about the existence of free will. Free will is a power of acting without restraint of fate. People started questioning whether free will exists or if it is merely imagined. Do humans have control over their actions, behaviors, choices, desires and emotions?

For me life was always easy. I grew up in a well off family with my mom, dad, and twin younger brother and sister. I always felt I was different from the children my age. Never outgoing, not talking, just observing, observing everything around me. Looking for the interesting things in life. I never truly understood why I was different.
