This causes damage to the brain because human brains do not have shock absorbers and release proteins after each blow to the head causing head trauma. This caused Dr. Omalu to deepen his study as more dead patients came in. As his research starts to get out “his findings elicit from the NFL quickly prove him…

The top of the tibia is also covered by menisci acting mainly as shock absorbers (“Knee Anatomy”). As Cowl turned sharply to avoid being tackled, he felt a pop in his right knee. Following Cowl’s injury, an anterior drawer test, a Lachman test, and a pivot shift test were all performed. Through these tests,…

My father would check the tension of the [motorcycle] chains, or examine the spark plug for carbon, or simply bounce the shock absorbers a few times as he talked [to me]” (Simmons, Motorcycle Talk). Their awkward form of care for one another was taking care of an inanimate object, the sons motorcycle. The attention the father gave to the motorcycle was the indirect…

The answer is yes not only are there planets, but moons, stars, galaxies and other solar systems. Thanks to great astronomers such as Galileo, Copernicus , Johannes Kepler, Edwin Hubble and many other great minds we have made these ground-breaking discoveries. Not until the latter half of the 20th century did we…
