April 2005 Physics Honors Stephen Hawking Stephen Hawking was born on January 8‚ 1942. He is the first child of Frank and Isabel Hawking. During the second World War‚ Isabel was sent from her husband’s home in Highgate‚ to Oxford. This was considered a much safer place to have children during the war. Soon after his birth‚ his family moved back in together in their north London home. Hawking began his schooling here at Hertfordshire School. Hawking moved only once during his

member to a certain cultural group or society. This particular notion of language and cultural relationship today‚ is usually associated with the linguists Sapir and his student Benjamin Lee Whorf and this proposition is widely known as Linguistic Relativity or Sapir – Whorf Hypothesis. Sapir (1889 – 1939) believed that language and culture are inextricably linked with one another. Thus the understanding of culture is not possible without knowledge of its language and vice versa. Whorf (1897 - 1941)

Alan Lightman’s "Einstein’s Dreams" "For those of us who believe in physics‚ this separation between past‚ present‚ and future is only an illusion‚ however tenacious." Albert Einstein For sure‚ one of the most important and discussed man of the 20th century is Albert Einstein - may be the most eminent German Jew. And many were the authors trying to describe the life and deeds of this prominent man. But one surely differs from the others in NOT trying to describe Einstein’s life but imagine

learned individuals‚ the author effectively outlines the failure of the hypothesis to support the theory of linguistic determinism‚ while addressing the valuable evidence that the Sapir-Whorf theory provides in support of the theory of linguistic relativity. A brief history of the publishing and reception of the hypothesis is given‚ and Whorf’s role in directing the hypothesis towards the metaphysics of the natural sciences is highlighted. Studies such as Hoijer’s application of Whorfian ideas to the

Well‚ first we must discuss the major problem that loomed with developing such a theory. To correlate all things in the universe‚ one must first realize the two pillars of modern physics. First is Einstein’s general relativity and then the concept of quantum mechanics. Relativity provides a framework for understanding the universe at a large scale‚ we are talking about stars‚ galaxies and even larger objects(galaxy clusters‚ black holes even). Quantum mechanics does the opposite‚ provides a framework

In this quote‚ H.G. Wells asked one of the most commonly asked questions in time travel‚ why can people not move about in time as they wish? Black Holes present the

CAN WE THINK WITHOUT LANGUAGE Many anthropologists‚ linguists‚ psychologists‚ biologists and other academics have attempted to tackle this question in recent decades. It is sort of "chicken or egg" conundrum: Did human beings first develop the physical capabilities for language (larger brains‚ vocal tract‚ etc) with the actual development of language following it‚ or had the capabilities for speech already arisen and only with the development of physical production of language itself follow?
