    Faster-than-light travel (FTL) refers to matter travelling at a faster speed than light (c). In a vacuum, this speed is known as 2.998 x 108 meters per seconds. Based on the Theory of Relativity, it is known that objects with a mass cannot exceed the speed of light as they require infinite energy due to the increasing amounts of energy required for continuous acceleration (PhysicsLink, 2017). However, matters without mass, such as photons, can reach this speed (PhysicsLink, 2017). Nevertheless,…

    the effects of a black hole these range from swirling gas called ‘matter swirling’ to hole star being rotated around a fixed point of gravity also known as black hole. This movement generated heat which intern emits EM waves which re detected by special instruments called ‘’black hole hunters’’. An instrument aboard the NASA Hubble Space Telescope, called the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), which was installed in February 1997 is Hubble’s main "black hole hunter’’. It is responsible…

    There you could never have enough energy to reach the speed of light. In 1905, Einstein, using his special theory of relativity showed that mass is actually just another form of energy and that in fact, they are equivalent. Equation E=mc2, (E=the energy released by an object in joules, m= the change in mass of an object in kg, c= the speed of light which is 3x108m…

    thinking in pictures then understanding words . well okay that a little about his child hood. Albert’s Adult hood he publishes four ground breaking works in the “Annealed der Physic” and I guess that’s for like a physics around the 1900s Albert deuces the formula E=mc squared. In April Albert also hands in a physics work. In the middle of January Albert is awarded a doctorate by the University of Zurich and also in April he is promoted to be a second class technical expert at the patent office.…

    Light is interesting because it is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and provides visibility for humans. The speed of light is just simply the speed that Einstein found while studying light and the theory of relativity. Einstein decided to mark the speed of light as 299,792, 458 meters /s or 186,000 miles per second. Where was the speed of light discovered? The speed of light was discovered in 1676 by Danish astronomer Olaus Roemer. If the scientist who basically…

The content and context of the joking imitations are socially and situationally dictated, allowing for a spectrum of cloaked or “indirect social commentary” (Basso, 1979, p. 9). The use of English, in conjunction with special phrases and physical gestures and expressions, alerts the listeners that there is a deeper meaning hiding beneath the veil of…

    get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying. Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes. They are invisible. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently than other stars. Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These black holes are…

    Albert Einstein’s Change of Heart: From Pacifism to the Atomic Bomb Beyond doubt, Albert Einstein is one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century. His name is the first one that comes to mind when one looks for genius. This is not without reason since we owe him most of what we know about space and time. Even though he usually appears with his smiling face, fluffy white hair and pipe in his photographs, when one looks deep into his eyes, it is striking to sense some sort of sorrow…

    In this experiment the main goal is to examine the correlation between position, velocity, time, and acceleration of objects, moving in one or two dimensions. Each and every experiment will be conducted under different conditions. For example, the first experiment requires a constant force (gravity) to act on the object, the picket fence. This experiments other condition is that we neglect friction. This object should be in nearly ideally circumstances. In the second experiment, the conditions…
