Radiation

- Have you ever thought about visiting the universe? Or have over viewed it? It is amazing how scientists are able to make discoveries about the universe. Incredibly, scientists have invented special instruments that can tell wether an object is moving away from Earth or towards it, and they also made many other such instruments. Yet, there are many questions an average person would ask such as, How was the universe formed, how old is the universe, and will the universe expand forever? The…

Multi-Emmy award winning hit comedy show The Big Bang Theory is now in its ninth season. The show follows the lives of four scientific genius friends and their relationship with each other and their girlfriends. The Big Bang Theory is a witty comedy that has evolved from four nerdy highly intellectual friends; to a strong group of friends that have grown and evolved. The show has a wide range of loyal watchers and it seems they can all enjoy the quick wit humor it offers. In fact, The Big Bang…

The article, “Our Universe could be reborn as a bouncing baby cosmos” by Lisa Grossman suggests that there may be a new theory to how the universe began, that seems to be more accurate than the current theory. This new theory created by Neil Turok and Steffen Gielen is the new Big Bounce model; not to be confused with the older big bounce-big crunch model. This model, unlike all other past contenders, has been able to begin the first steps in an accurate description to how the universe…

The Hot bang and the Ageless Universe are two different theories that explain the existence of the universe. No one can prove that both these theories are real because we do not have real evidence to back it up. We do not have a strong idea on how the universe came to be because we did not exist to actually see it but when it comes to the steady-state theory, the facts are more understandable than the proof behind the Hot bang theory. I believe the most supportable theory is the Ageless Universe…

Does the Steady State Theory or the Big Bang explain the origin of the universe? There are many theories that contribute to the opinions and ideas of how the universe came about approximately 13.7 billion years ago. Two highly debated theories of evolution include the ‘Big Bang Theory’ and the ‘Steady State Theory’, two of which have very different points of view about how the universe came to how it is today. The ‘Big Bang Theory’ discusses how the universe began as a very small, hot and dense…

Introduction As more and more UVB radiation is coming into contact with the Earth’s surface, it’s important to consider how life on this planet is impacted. Plants have survived throughout many of the climate fluctuations Earth has gone through previously, but changes of this magnitude have never been seen before. Scientists are currently looking to observe just how much radiation plants can tolerate in response to the continual climates changes on Earth. This issue is relevant to the general…

turn causes an excessive amount of ultraviolet, or UV, radiation to reach the earth. According to “Health and Environmental,” “A 10% reduction in ozone could lead to as much as a 15-20% increase in UV exposure depending on the biological process being considered.” This creates a lot of problems because an increase in UV radiation creates biological effects, or health effects, in a lot of organisms. The biological effects of excessive UV radiation due to ozone depletion effects the health of…

it is vital to discuss the harmful effects, ways to protect oneself from radiation exposure, and on going campaigns and studies that aim at increasing the awareness and safety of damaging rays. Radiation has a variety of negative effects ranging from early to late. Early effects…

qualities, the sun can also be harmful in large amounts. One of the most dangerous factors from sun is exposure of UV radiation. The UV radiations are separated by different wave lengths, and the most common types are UVA and UVB, which have a variety of effects in the skin due to the absorption patterns of chromospheres, the parts of the molecules. These ultraviolet radiations lead to mutations that the cell may not be able to overcome and thus leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual skin…

still be felt today. Radiation was the cause for multiple problems for survivors. Their health was affected by radiation poisoning that caused many forms of cancer. The environment of Japan was also affected. The lack of available food was limited because the land contained radiation resulting in problems with growing food on farms, and the water was contaminated thereby killing many kinds of fish.These were the staples of survival for much of the population. Finally radiation led to a indirect…
