The Origin of Man How did life begin? Where did humans come from? The origin of man is a mystery of the universe, however, there is a long-lasting battle raging between the Christian belief and scientists. Christians believe God created Adam and Eve six thousand years ago, and that all the humans, animals, plants of the world began at that time. This theory is called creationism, and their evidence is everything written in the Bible. However, scientists believe in the theory of evolution. They…
Uranium was first discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth. It was formed in supernovas about 6.6 billion years ago. Uranium is one of the heavier elements on the periodic table, being 18.7 times as dense as water. It is element number 92 and this specific isotope has 235 nucleons. This indicates to us that Uranium 235 has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and 143 neutrons. Uranium’s slow radioactive decay is the main source of heat inside the earth, causing convection and continental drift. Uranium 235…
Laying on the fresh cut grass of your lawn, you watch the sun sink behind the mountains as day subtly fades into night. There is always a minute of darkness as the city holds its breath. No street lights. No cars. Just you and the sky and… the faint glow of a star. Seeing the first star that night, you make a wish and remember the first time you saw one. You still wonder what that speck of light is—How it got to be up there, why it sometimes is so bright and other times so faint, and how it…
in captive, strengthening his father who was earlier unable to do any damage to the titans, began bombarding the life out of the titans, and with the grand finale of Hercules lassoing all the titans and expelling them from Earth, creating a cool supernova. The real myth strongly differs from the Disney version. Hades and Zeus were brothers, with their own important deities. They both defeated the titans and then defended from the attack of the giants, and Hercules did help them in the latter…
To understand the Geology of Mars, or any other planet, it is necessary to have knowledge of formation of the Universe that lead to the assimilation of galaxies and all contained within them. This is essay will look at the beginning of the universe and the chemical reactions which led to the formation of stars, planets, moons, asteroid belts, comets and meteorites. Then, focusing on Mars, discuss the planets geological features and the instruments used to study them, from its inner core to upper…
well-respected and established artists should also have a look that doesn't seem to tarnish no matter how many years have passed and the innate charisma being exuded on every open of the mouth. Truly, those neophytes who would want to be the next music supernova must, at the very least, possess the aforementioned traits, for if not, oblivion is inevitable. One great example of a man who basically owned everything is the luster produced by a French singing sensation slash epic actor on the…
1. How do humans owe their lives to the deaths of stars? • These stars created us occurring to science. 2. What's a nebula? • A cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium, and gas. 3. Explain the process by which a star is formed. • Gas and dust form in a size 10 times our solar system. 4. What creates a star’s heat/energy (use the words hydrogen and helium in your answer). • Burning hydrogen and converting it into helium. 5. What's the most common type of star? • Red Dwarfs. 6. Why do bigger stars…
Introduction Delphinus is a constellation that often passes by the watch of astronomers due to its limited size, however this little wonder has fascinating stars that captivate your attention when you take the time to focus upon it. Location South and away from the Milky Way's band lies the constellation Delphinus the Dolphin. This tiny grouping of stars lies in the transition zone from that of the summer star filled skies to that of the sparse autumn skies. Once you have located Delphinus…
The star outside your spaceship's windshield is a spectacular sight. HR 5171 A is a fireball 1,300 times larger than the Earth's sun. It's so big that if it were in our sun's position, it would swallow up Earth beneath its 10,000°F surface. To look at it from your spaceship, you have to wear special goggles--this star is almost a million times brighter than our sun. As you watch HR 5171A burn, you notice something strange. An object is peeking over the horizon, growing larger and larger. It's…
Each year, the Nobel Prize awards people with outstanding contributions for humanity in chemistry, literature, peace, physiology or medicine, and physics. This year the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics to Takaaki Kajita from Japan and Arthur B. McDonald from Canada “for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass.” Their discovery was announced to be a historic discovery for particle physics. After a various amount…
