HBS 2.2.3. Reaction Time Experimental Design I. Identify a Problem or Question: Can the reaction of an individual be affected by other external factors? II. Introduction: Reaction time refers to the amount of time it takes for a person to process and react to a stimulus. It is important in everyday activities‚ such as driving‚ and sports‚ but not much experiment is conducted to research on this matter. Reaction time with its practical implication can leads to great consequences‚e.g. d

Everything is relative or objective Nothing is really as it seems to us and all things are subjective to the observer. Everything is relative to each person from the viewpoint. Comparative readings‚ of two almost unimaginably accurate precision atomic clocks located on fast moving spacecraft and airplanes and on earth‚ have detected this strange skewing of time and proved Einstein’s theory of relativity to be fact. Stop all the clocks in the universe and movement will continue unaffected

Originally coming from Latin and Greek‚ situational irony occurs when the opposite of what one expects happens. Irony in literature has existed for many years. It keeps the readers engaged and heavily impacts the points the writer wanted to get across.

What is the 10‚000 hour rule you may ask? The 10‚000 hour rule is a directive from the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell that states that if you want to be successful then you have to put 10‚000 hours into it. “In fact‚ researchers have settled on what they believe is the magic number for true expertise: ten thousand hours (40).” This prominent quote is controversial because many people disagree with the time it takes to become successful. I believe that this rule that Malcolm Gladwell calls “The

String theory is defined by Merriam-Webster as‚ "A physical theory in which one-dimensional loops travel through space and also merge and lyse as time elapses. This is in contrast to ordinary quantum field theory‚ which predicts point particles that emit and absorb each other. String theory is a candidate for a Theory of Everything." String theory would solve the long fight between Einstein’s theory of relativity and Quantum Physics. String theory proclaims that everything in our universe‚ from
