1. One of the greatest challenges to the human intellect has been to explain how the complex, improbable appearance of design in the universe arises. 2. The natural temptation is to attribute the appearance of design to actual design itself. 3. The temptation is a false one because the designer hypothesis immediately raises the larger problem of who designed the designer. 4. The most ingenious and powerful explanation is Darwinian evolution by natural selection. 5. We don't have an…

Neil deGrasse Tyson is an active Astrophysicist coming out of New York City where he Graduated from Bronx High School Of Science and went on to Achieve his PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia University and his BA at Harvard. Tyson later was chosen by George W. Bush twice, once in 2001 to join a twelve-member commission where he studied the Future of the US Aerospace industry and second, in 2002 to join a nine-member commission that focused on the implementation of the United States Space…

Eggs are the most fragile thing you can find, one drop and they will break. What can we do to protect the egg from breaking when it falls? First, there are many factors that affect the egg when it falls. The factors are momentum, air resistance, pressure, gravity, and angular momentum. The first factor is Momentum; it is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. “P” is the 3D vector stating the object’s momentum in 3 directions of 3D space. Where “V” is the 3D velocity vector giving the…

this book my horizons have been broadened and I look at things differently than before. After reading your book, I was intrigued by your works and wanted to learn more about the universe. I then proceeded to watch all of the episodes of “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” so I could soak up as much information as possible. Your essays paired with “Cosmos” has changed my worldview entirely. Before I read your book, I knew that the universe was big, but I couldn’t quite grasp how big “infinity” was. I…

Nuclear Fusion and the Remains of a Dead Star Throughout the history of Earth, multicellular organisms rely on one thing, the sun. And throughout the observable universe, there are million of stars out there just like our sun. These stars could be different however, with either more mass, volume, heat, etc. In our high school career, we learn a lot about astronomy, such as the order of the planets in our solar system. We also learn about gravity, rotation of planets, and how long it takes…

Essenium is critical to new technologies that both the Federation and the Empire are developing, which make it possible to use electromagnetism to control gravity. This means they will be able to control the structure of spacetime. This will give them unimaginable power. There are lots of applications of this technology that could make someone a lot of money, as well as incredibly destructive weapons. Whoever controls this technology could well take over the entire galaxy…

using the map encompassing the empire, and ultimately falling to ruins, as a metaphor to hyperreality masking and corrupting reality (Borges, “On Exactitude in Science.”). The chaotic and probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, the warping of spacetime theorized in relativity, etc.; Borges proposes that these abstract concepts are perverting the concept and perception of reality into a simulacrum. However, Borges tackles the issue of the enigmatic nature of modern science from a completely…

After Einstein had finished the Special Theory of Relativity he realized that gravity was not a force as Newton initially proposed but was caused by the geometry of space and time around a gravitating mass (like earth). Einstein believed that spacetime was like a blanket and the objects were like marbles. The marbles are the planets and space is like an outstretched blanket. When the marblesare placed on the blanket and the marbles, onto certain places on the blanket. This is how Einstein…

born during my last day at the Maccabiah Sport Games in July of 2017. I lay on my bed and switched on the TV with no preconceived thought of a channel in mind. I was perfectly content watching what National Geographic had to offer: The Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey by Neil deGrasse Tyson. The show surpassed my expectations in every way. Previously I had only taken a passing interest in astronomy, such as during our occasional visits to the game reserve. I was always taken aback by the striking…

human cannot observe it directly (Montgomery, C., Orchiston, W., & Whittingham, 90). In 1915, Einstein Albert, a great physicist, published the Einstein field equations which describes the fundamental interaction of gravitation as a result of spacetime being curved by matter and energy (Einstein Albert, 884). One month later, Karl Schwarzschild, a German physicist, got the accurate solution of Einstein field equations and deduced that if the mass of an object is compressed within small…
