Question: Suppose a meteor impact blows some extremophile bacteria from the Earth into the depths of a gas giant planet called planet X ‚ where they evolve into an intelligent species which practises physics. Do you think their physical theories would be similar to ours‚ and if so in what ways would they be likely to be similar? Your answer will necessarily involve some speculation‚ but make sure it involves some careful argument as well. Theoretical physics is one of many braches of physics that

Most of the australopithecus fossils that have been discovered have been found in eastern africa and have been dated between 4.5 million and 1.1 million years old. There has also been evidence that the australopithecus "man" lived in australia where fossils have also been found. The first discovery of an australopithecus fossil was made in 1924. The body of the australopithecus is smaller than humans‚ but biffer than chimpanzees

6 Ocober 2013 Fossil Fuels and Alternate Energy Sources In the early 1900s‚ fossil fuels were the primary source of energy‚ but in more recent times with reserves diminishing and global warming becoming a major issue‚ we are forced to develop alternate sources of energy. According to Melosi‚ Governments became aware of the effects of fossil fuels as early as the 1950s‚ and in an attempt to combat this‚ they passed laws to try and lower the amount of pollution it caused (The Automobile and
