Age of the Universe The age of the universe is said to be about 13.75 billion years old. The method used in determining this age would be attempting to find the age of chemical elements‚ oldest star clusters‚ as well as white dwarf stars. Scientists also try to find the universes rate of expansion‚ and behavior of globular clusters‚ which are spherical collection of stars. In order to find this‚ scientists can use radioactive decay to determine how old a given mixture of atoms is in rock samples

Do you like chocolate? How about Milky Ways? Enough with the chocolate talk‚ let’s talk galaxies. There are four different types of known galaxies in the world. Those galaxies are Spiral galaxies‚ Elliptical galaxies‚ Irregular galaxies‚ and Quasars. The reason there are four different types‚ is because they are classified by different characteristics. The Spiral galaxy is one that should be important to us humans‚ because we live in one. Spiral galaxies are thin and structured with four sweeping

1. Statement of the problem The issue in the formation of Jupiter is how each company will treat their investment in the company. This paper will perform a consolidation analysis that follows the guidelines of the VIE model laid out in ASC 810-10. I will determine whether Jupiter is a Variable Interest Entity and who is the primary beneficiary. 2. Relevant Facts • Saturn and Venus‚ two unrelated parties‚ formed Jupiter‚ a joint venture • Saturn owns 51% and Venus owns 49%‚ contributing

death of the universe Our knowledge of the universe is still negligible‚ and we can not confidently assert that the universe is not under the influence of external forces‚ or may be considered as a thermodynamic system. However‚ it is the concept of heat death was the first step to realize the possible finiteness of the Universe‚ although we do not know when and on what scenario will happen of its destruction. At the present stage of existence (13.72 billion years)‚ the universe radiates as a

Newton. Newton‚ and the laws which he advocated‚ are virtually the main fixture of our course. His perspective of a flat universe with a timeline that spanned infinitely forward and backward had become outdated. Questions and Concerns: I had trouble getting over the seemingly hard headedness of Einstein in the matter of Quantum Theory (unpredictability) and an expanding universe.

THE PARADOXES OF TIME TRAVEL David Lewis T travel‚ I maintain‚ is possible. The paradoxes of time travel are oddities‚ not impossibilities. They prove only this much‚ which few would have doubted: that a possible world where time travel took place would be a most strange world‚ different in fundamental ways from the world we think is ours. I shall be concerned here with the sort of time travel that is recounted in science fiction. Not all science fiction writers are clear-headed‚ to be sure
