Theoretical physics

I enjoy all of my A-level subjects, and I want to continue with as many as possible, so I am applying for Natural Sciences. I am eager to study in more depth the areas that I have found interesting, as well as to explore new topics. For me, Human Biology currently stands out as the most exciting field, as I can see at first hand its applications and effects, and constant developments mean there is always something new to learn. It is this dynamic side of science which I want to be involved in.…

Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientific minds in the 17th century Newton was known as a natural philosopher instead of a scientist, he became famous all around the world. Isaac is " secretive, withdrawn, obsessive, ruthless, bitter, and perhaps in need of therapy, All of these things apply to Isaac Newton.(pg.13) It's not his fault though when he was just a baby his father died so he never knew his father. Also his mother deserted him when he was eight years old, he wasn't even…

The topic of my essay is dark matter’s importance on galaxy formation. I chose this topic because the notion of dark matter piqued my interest. It’s non-luminous so it cannot be directly observed by a telescope, which prompted me to learn more about the topic and understand it on a deeper level. Outline Introduction In this stage, the topic will be introduced, as well as a brief introduction of the subtopics that will be addressed. However the bulk of this stage will be dedicated to discussing…

The works of Galileo Galilee, Johannes Kepler and Renè Descartes developed the basis for which Sir Isaac Newton was able to form his laws on motion. Whilst none of these geniuses met Newton they all had similar laws, which Newton was able to mold into his three laws of motion. These laws seem to have been inspiration to Newton during his studies and his eventual works. Galileo helped to develop Newton’s first law, Kepler designed a basis of Newton’s second Law and Descartes’ first and third law…

This was one of many awards Galileo received throughout his life. However, is position was not enough for Galileo, so he sought to be the chairman of mathematics at the University of Bologna, but they did not give him the job. Even though he did not get that job, he was asked by the “Florentine Academy to give two lectures about a prestigious literary group, on the arrangement of the world in Dante’s Inferno” (Helden). After doing that, he discovered an ingenious idea about the center of…

1. Sir Isaac Newton: who, when, where Sir Isaac Newton was born December 25, 1642 in Lincolnshire, England into a farming family. Unfortunately, his father passed away just before he was born and his mother left to marry another man; therefore, he was raised by his grandparents. As a young man, Newton was an intelligent student intrigued by science and found himself building complex models. He was pushed by his mother to walk in his father’s farming footsteps; however, he prefered to…

INTRODUCTION I had always wanted to be part of Science Olympiad since I heard from my friends that it was being made in Yonkers High school. I couldn’t contain my excitement and could not wait until clubs started having their meetings. I decided I wanted to take part in Robotics, Historical Society, and in Science Olympiad. Science was my main interest ever since I was young, and I knew that whatever job I was doing in the future would involve science in some way, shape, or form. I really do…

The moment that I discovered that science was one of my favorite things to learn about was when I was in 7th grade. The science that I learned in 7th grade was biology. Before 7th grade, I learned about other sciences such as chemistry, astronomy, physics, and geology. All those subjects didn’t grab my attention as much as biology because before I didn’t think they were interesting and I thought it hard to understand the concept of those sciences. However as I went through my high school career,…

I would like to begin by saying that Astronomy is one of the most interesting science that I have studied so far. I find fascinating to understand the universe around us and can observe it. Until now, I think that my knowledge on the subjetc wew scarce, but I believe that it have increased considerably due to this subject. Astronomy is the only field of magic study that has an equivalent in the Muggle world. It not only helps the understanding of the constellations and planets, is the source…

Atomic theory developed 2,500 years ago and evolved around the question whether or not something could be divided into forever. Greek philosophers debated this subject a lot, especially one name Democritus. He believed that something would only be able to be divided to a certain point because matter consisted of atoms and atoms are indestructible. Aristotle, however did believe something could be divided forever and did not believe in atoms. With all this controversy, one would expect an atom…
