Global warming, lest talk about that. It is a boost in the temperature of the earth and the globe, which is affecting the poles. Global warming is something we should consider when using fossil fuels. People think global warming is a joke, but is hurting other places in the globe. One main example of a global warming is that the north and South Poles are melting, thus killing some of the animals there. One term you should know is fossil fuel: a natural energy such as coal or gas, formed in the…

The Industrial Revolution took place in 1760, this revolution economically and socially altered the way we live. Products were no longer made in small compacted cottages but instead, manufacturing took place in vast city factories. This created a colossal difference in our society today, which allowed for mass production. Mass production let us to create not several inventions in a short period of time, but thousands of them. The effectiveness of transportation has also changed dramatically,…

A Crude Awakening Fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal have been burned as a source of energy for many years, but are they safe and lasting? Renewable energy, on the other hand, has been around for centuries. From the water wheels and mills of the Middle Ages to the photoelectric effect in solar panels of the early 1900’s, renewable energy is constantly being renovated and improved upon. Due to fossil fuels’ negative effects on the environment and lack of supply, renewable energy should be…

Jerome Robbins was known as one of the great choreographers of all time, as a genius, as a friend to the rich and famous (and, indeed, “one of them”: He danced with Lauren Bacall at Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball), as one of the four closeted gay Jewish men who made West Side Story , as a person who enjoyed humiliating young male ballet dancers during rehearsals and referring to some of the female ones with the four-letter word that begins with a “c,” as an informer, and as co-founding…

One of the most important figures during the Industrial Revolution was John…

The world we live in is one based on ideas. But the concept of an original idea has faded away with time. Nowadays, it’s difficult to come up with an original idea considering the fact we have about five thousand years of recorded history predating us. Inspiration for almost every modern idea has come from works of the past. There hasn’t been a bigger source of inspiration within our history than that of the Ancient Greek Society. Their actions have left one of the biggest impacts in history on…

Equally important for the colonists to survive was to learn how to use available resources and ingredients. The first colonists relied on the supplies they brought. The colonists brought plants and seeds from England, but they had a hard time getting them to grow. The Native Americans came to the colonist rescue. If not for the American Indians showing the colonist native plants and how to cook them along with planting and harvesting them, the colonist would have all died. The colonists came…

Since a large number of workers died from the plague, there was an inadequate amount of working hands to complete all the work that had to be done. To make up for the loss of workers, windmills and watermills were built in England, France, and the Netherlands. However, these advances could not keep up with the supply, so new technology had to be invented to save time. One of the biggest inventions of this time period was the printing press. William Caxton…

“It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.” Daniel Bernoulli once said this statement. Not many people know about Daniel Bernoulli. Daniel Bernoulli (He was also known as Daniel Bernovllivs), was a swiss mathematician that furthered the study of calculus and physics along with his family. He was known for his principle (Bernoulli’s Principle), but also did many other things with his time. He helped the field of hydrodynamics, and without knowing it helped…
