The Big Bang Theory is believed to be the most probable and reasonable explanation to how the universe was created‚ is a widely discussed topic among cosmologists and astrophysicists. The Big Bang theory is about an event that explains the origins of the universe. It relates heavily to the sciences of cosmology and astrophysics. It is a widely accepted theory among people all across the world‚ and is also a widely discussed topic that has not been entirely explained yet. Many are still left

Lord Kelvin (1824 - 1907) William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) was born June 26‚ 1824 in Belfast‚ Ireland‚ and was part of a large family whose mother died when he was six. His father taught Kelvin and his brothers mathematics to a level beyond that of university courses of the time. Kelvin was somewhat of a genius‚ and had his first papers published in 1840. These papers contained an argument defending the work of Fourier (Fourier transforms)‚ which at the time was being heavily criticized by

Throughout the story “The Repairman‚” several scientific devices of varying accuracy are presented. The author describes and uses some that use plausible science‚ but the facts and possibilities of each are not important to the story as a whole. The varying devices are described just enough to propel interest in the story‚ but most of the actual scientific plausibility has to be inferred from context. In the story‚ hyperspace travel is presented in a way that explains itself to a degree‚ but in

Human Body System. I was interested in how each specific area plays a distinct role in the body and how certain body parts are interlinked with each other - a typical example of this being the skeletal system. When learning about radioactivity in physics I found it captivating how specific

Newton is without a doubt‚ a hero. He is a hero because of his scientific achievements and life events. He found a way to split white light and find its color contents‚ he discovered then extended his three laws of motion that frame the world of physics‚ and for crying out loud‚ the man invented calculus. Not just that‚ these examples aren’t even including all of his very many scientific achievements‚ inventions‚ or founds. For starters‚ Isaac Newton’s theory of “fluxions” or calculus‚ was a giant

Madeline Totten Dr. Su Phy 110 Lab 18 September 2013 Lab 2: Introduction to DataStudio Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to practice designing an experiment by choosing the variables‚ using DataStudio to collect the data from the experiment‚ and then taking our data and presenting it and our results in a report. Method: For this experiment‚ the goal was to use a simple pendulum (shown to the left) to measure the period of the motion. For task 1‚ we just became familiar with DataStudio

An inclined plane is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle‚ with one end higher than the other‚ used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. Inclined planes are widely used to move heavy loads over vertical obstacles; examples vary from a ramp used to load goods into a truck‚ to a person walking up a pedestrian ramp‚ to an automobile or railroad train climbing a grade. Inclined planes are widely used in the form of loading ramps to load and unload goods on trucks‚ ships‚ and planes. Wheelchair

Sam Preusser Mr. Staude U.S. History 25 April 2013 Truman Doctrine VS. Marshall Plan The years after the war brought times of disagreement and argument. The United States worked at this time to contain and control the spread of communism. During the years of WWII and the Cold War this idea was prominent and an issue America thought must be solved. Their were two strong attempts to fight communism. These attempts were the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. These ideas go hand in hand making

Determining a Person’s Power through height/work Power is denoted by the formula‚ P = mgh/t. In lifting a bag‚ work is done. So in order to get power we recorded our weight‚ measured the weight of the bag‚ and the time it took to lift a bag. The experiment is done in two ways 1) with constant time and 2) with constant height. In this way‚ we can compare and know if there will be a difference in the amount of power exerted by a person if either time or height will be constant. The formulated
