Stephen Hawking 1243 Brown St. Europe, Oxford 21348
Re: Scientific Research

Dear Dr. Hawking My name is DeAndre’ Jones and I am attending 71st high school in my science class I have to do a project on you I am doing the part where I have to write a letter to you. I’m going to start off by saying thank you for your contributions to science. Like your study on black holes and your law of black holes that states In the case of two objects with equal masses m and zero intrinsic angular momenta, this upper bound is (2-√2)m. This law was very important in understanding black holes. You accomplishing all of this stuff is amazing because you did all of this stuff while being affected by ALS a very rare and uncommon disease. This is why people recognize you as the smartest man alive at this time. I have many questions about your theories and all the other stuff you come up with like where do you get this information from? Do you have to send satellites? Do you get information from people at the space station? That’s what I want to know. I know I have a lot of questions because I’m curious of where you get this information from and why you decided to study black holes and space. I also am so surprised how you didn’t quit in life after you got ALS because that is a huge change in life that you had to deal with plus college some people would have just stopped doing what they were doing. Thank you for your contribution

    In 1963 when Stephen Hawking was 21, he went to a family doctor and found out he had amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or in Britian known as a motor neuron disease and in the U.S. it’s known as Lou Gehrig’s (McDaniel 15). ALS causes nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to weaken and die which ended up leading him to become paralyzed. Doctors estimated Stephen to live for only two years but Stephen was strong; he knew if he was going to die he might as well do something good and that’s when he focused more on finding more information about the black hole radiation. In 1985 Stephen lost his voice to a tracheotomy and had to use a computer to speak for him making the only thing that worked on Hawking’s body were his hands (Biographies Online). Stephen Hawking’s story serves as an inspiration to children and adults everywhere, especially those struggling with a chronic illness.…

    Have you ever wondered about why science is such a major decision? I once was passionate about science. It was a part of my everyday life, but I went through a series of events that had distracted me from the love I once held for science. Neil deGrassse Tyson, brought back to my attention the true meaning of science and what it means to our society. I find his work inspiring, so much that I want to learn more, and test how much we actually have knowledge about in science.…

    In Albert Einstein’s letter to Phyllis as to whether or not scientists pray, Einstein uses effectively rhetorical language by focusing on the subject, speaker, and audience, as well as appeals to get his point across. At the end of the paper, it seems that Einstein himself never answers Phyllis’s question deffinately, never really leaning either way, but by using rhetorical writing he doesn’t really have to. As the name mike suggest, it’s simply rhetorical.…

    Bill Gates

    • 451 Words

    From a functionalist perspective Bill Gates served as a purpose in life developing Microsoft to help out people with their businesses and person life. A functionalist would believe that society would depend on Microsoft and that is why it would have needed to be created. I believe highly that Bill Gates was mostly a functionalist. From a conflict perspective Bill Gates would have looked at the pros and cons of his software. In this situation the pros outweighed the cons and he developed Microsoft, which is one of the most successful software’s ever created. He also would have thought how if he created this software what he would have gained from the software such as wealth. The conflict perspective is why he went from a middle-class citizen to the top of the stratification system. From a symbolic interactionist perspective would have had to of thought of the values and important of the software to the society. Bill Gates also probably though of the way society was ran at the time without computers and thought that the Microsoft program would help society out by organizing life such as businesses and personal life by letting them do many possible things with this software. Each theory has its own social stratification. A functionalist theory is everyone having his or her place of purpose in society. The conflict theory is the have or have-nots of the situation and the interactionist theory focuses on the values of society. All theories can support a concept but are all different stratifications of society. A person moving from wealth from a functionalist perspective would identify their purpose in society and make it clear to themselves how its going to be okay to live in the society as a lower-class person. From a conflict perspective a person would have to see all the good things that they possibly can if they are going to be a lower-class person of society. They would also need to come up with the bad things that may happen to them…

    Albert Einstein is considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. He is known for developing the theories of relativity. He is also noted for his mathematical formula of E = mc² (David Bodanis). Although he was not directly involved in the Manhattan Project, which was responsible for creating the atomic bomb, but he is still considered the mastermind because of his breakthrough formula. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect (A. Calaprice & T. Lipscombe).…

    Black Holes

    Black holes are one of the most fascinating and unrealistic seeming objects in the world to many people. They seem to be right out of a science fiction novel, along with white holes, and wormholes. So far white holes and wormholes are still only science fiction. A white hole is a reverse of a black hole. And a wormhole is a combination of a white a black hole said to be a place of time travel. However, even quite a long time ago some members of our society realized that the black hole is not science fiction, but is very real and is very interesting. I plan to take you with me on my road to discovering black holes; the history of black holes, what is a black hole, how are they formed, singularity and event horizon, are black holes black and how to detect them, accretion disk, and black holes and evaporation.…

    Honestly I’m not really good in Science. But I’m striving hard to get along with this subject and the same as Math. This subject is one of my weaknesses among all subjects. But now I can get along with this Science subject and luckily I become a lover of this. For me, the subject teacher really matters on how I want a certain subject. I really love when it’s Science time and I really enjoy this subject and maybe when you will take a time to open my notebooks, my Science notebook is really the best among them. I really love making notes and I really love studying my lessons with this subject especially when I’m with Ivy. I just want to thank Ma’am Pejano for very nice and splendid lessons that she had taught to us. I really learned a lot about this subject even though before I’m not good with this. I just hope and wish that my experienced with Science in my first year as High School will be the same when I come on my 2nd year. I also that the same subject teacher that we have will be the one who will handle our Science subject next school year.…
