Following are few of the most famous inventions of the 21st century. See all 5 photos Ginger or Segway Transporter Ginger is a brilliant invention created by Dean Kamen in the year 2001. There was a bit of mystery around this invention but once it was demonstrated‚ its ability was appreciated worldwide. The Segway transporter is an electric power transportation machine. It is basically a personal human transporter; it uses five gyroscopes and built in computer. The segway can move at a speed

Jordan Bihms The Higgs Boson Jeffrey Kluger‚ senior writer at TIME magazine said that “It is not often that the world stops‚ cheers and generally goes nuts over a new discovery in particle physics.” On July 4th of 2012‚ employees at CERN‚ the European Organization for Nuclear Research‚ rushed out to tell of the news that the Higgs Boson might have been located. The Higgs Boson‚ named after Peter Higgs‚ is said to be what gives atoms in the universe their mass‚ which in itself is a huge step

“There are only two ways in which humankind can produce knowledge‚: through passive observations or through active experiment.” To what extent do you agree with this statement? Word count: 1255 Candidate name: Alexander Shum Candidate number: 0049330018 I fully agree the statement in the question. In my opinion‚ I believe that the production of knowledge requires both passive observation and active experiment. Both of them are heavily linked together‚ and are part of a larger process

system more money as the patient would not need to go for more costly medical treatment if diagnosis are caught early. On the other hand‚ an argument agasint continuing research is that the cost are increasing at an alarming rate (such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)‚ the average person may not see a used for further research in the atomic structure that would affect them directly. Furthermore‚ the issue shouldn’t be about the high cost of research but the accessibility of imaging technology. In a

Question: "What is the God particle?" Answer: The "God particle" is the nickname of a subatomic particle called the Higgs boson. In layman’s terms‚ different subatomic particles are responsible for giving matter different properties. One of the most mysterious and important properties is mass. Some particles‚ like protons and neutrons‚ have mass. Others‚ like photons‚ do not. The Higgs boson‚ or “God particle‚” is believed to be the particle which gives mass to matter. The “God particle” nickname

“Spending on science should be focused towards areas that contribute to daily lives not big projects like the Space Program‚ Square Kilometre Array and the Large Hadron Collider” In this current time‚ our focus for spending on science seems to be drifting off farther and farther into space. We are forgetting how many problems we have here on earth‚ in our cities and homes. Though there are many brilliant and insightful projects which are taking place (with examples like the Space Program and the

Will the LHC Destroy the World? The LHC will allow scientists to observe particle collisions at an energy level far higher than any previous experiment. Some people worry that such powerful reactions could cause serious trouble for the Earth. In fact‚ a few people are so concerned that they filed a lawsuit against CERN in an attempt to delay the LHC’s activation. In March 2008‚ former nuclear safety officer Walter Wagner and Luis Sancho spearheaded a lawsuit filed in Hawaii’s U.S. District Court
