Have you ever heard the terms “Renewable Energy” and “Non-Renewable Energy?” What is renewable vs non-renewable energy? What does it mean to the billions of humans all around the world? To start, renewable energy are resources that can be used multiple times, replenished quickly, and never runs out or dies (Salata, 2015). Some examples of renewable energy are solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower. Non-renewable energy are resources that are used once and that is all, fossil fuel such…

of either short-lived radioactive elements or the amount of long-lived radioactive element plus its decay product. Example: B) Look at the diagram below which represents the radioactive decay of uranium- 238. The shaded area represents the decay product which is lead-206. The half life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years, since this object has gone through two-half lives it is 9 billion years old. C) If you could dig up a rock that was buried over decades ago, you can determine how old…

created the very first and lightest elements in our universe, and also how red giants have contributed to creating more elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen whilst the supernovas had contributed to creating elements heavier than iron such as Uranium and Gold. Another major theory that can be summarised from the report is that Dmitri Mendeleev had made himself a major breakthrough with his discovery of the periodic table and an even bigger achievement of leaving gaps in it based on the…

After his return to England, in 1941 Fuchs was invited by Rudolf Peierls, another German-born British physicist, to Birmingham to work on the British nuclear weapon project, codenamed Tube Alloys. While there were concerns regarding the security of hiring Fuchs, good scientists were in such short demand that Britain decided that Fuchs was worth the risk. He was cleared by MI5 and also by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research for this position. This decision was later criticized in…

Preservation of the Earth’s land became a developing idea throughout the 1800s. The thought of upholding the natural beauty and resources of the land was sparked through the establishment of Yellowstone National Park within the American West. These new desires had a lasting impact upon the humans and the environment one lived in. In order to achieve these ideas, many barriers had to be overcome to create a system of protecting land and establishing National Parks. Yellowstone National Park was…

Obama Republicans as a betrayal of the US government in the face of intimidation of Iranian nuclear development. The agreement forced Iran to stop producing highly enriched uranium and to get rid of most of its nuclear material.
