Nethergrave uses more diect characterization while A Sound of Thunder uses…

The setting of this fantastic story takes place in New York in the Upper West Side during 1979. The setting of the story is important because young Mirada and her friends have to grow up in New York, where they have to walk home from school every day, and a crazy man standing on a street corner is not unusual. My favorite character from this book is Miranda, a young girl living with her mother in an apartment in New York. She is my favorite character because even though she does not have as many…

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,…

Wanting to travel back in time is something many people wanted to do and can do today by visiting places that haven’t changed for hundreds of years and and see how they have changed throughout the time they have visited those places. A place that is never changing and has never changed for over 100 years is a cabin in Iron Mountain, Michigan. When out in the woods there is not much technology being used due to the cellular connection not being the best because of the trees blocking the…

The phonograph, back then consisted of turning a cylinder wrapped with paraffin paper or tinfoil, a needle, and horn. The use of a phonograph was to first connect the stylus(needle) to the paper or tinfoil, then yell into the horn while spinning the diaphragm, this results in indentions in the paper, after that…

Horizontal and Vertical Time I started doing yoga last year. I would try to meditate everyday. Especially during exam weeks, mediation helps me focus on the materials and prepare for the exams. Mediation and yoga clears my mind, and make me more aware of myself and things around me. Stress puts a lot of pressure for my body.
