Between the World and Me In the book Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates‚ the author portrayed his life to his son through his own personal examples of how he lived in fear. With his fear of losing his body he lost out on many life changing opportunities. Through vivid memories from childhood‚ the birth of his son‚ and adulthood‚ Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates‚ proved that African Americans body’s had always been susceptible to destruction through systemic racism.

There are many common misconceptions about black holes whether it is that they destroy matter or that there is no way to ever escape a black hole. Black holes have this wrap on them that all matter that enters their event horizon is never coming out but‚ that can not be entirely true. The law of conservation states that no matter can be created or destroyed so‚ matter can not just be destroyed in black holes. In order to truly understand black holes one must first be able to understand event horizons

Chapter 1: Brief Description: This chapter chronicles the works of Albert Einstein‚ predominantly his dual theories of Special Relativity and General Relativity. Special Relativity involves time‚ which was established as subjective and relative to the object in question. He also worked to establish the consistency of the speed of light as a daunting measure which cannot be surpassed (E=MC2). His General Theory of Relativity pushed forth the idea that space and time were not independent‚ but rather

INTO A BLACK HOLE INTRODUCTION: According to a mind-bending new theory‚ a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes—a type of wormhole. The matter the black hole attracts doesn’t collapse into a single point‚ as has been predicted‚ but rather gushes out a "white hole" at the other end of the black one‚ the theory goes. In a recent paper published in the journal Physics Letters B‚ Indiana University physicist Nikodem Poplawski presents new mathematical models of the spiralling motion of

Presentism is the metaphysical view that “only presently existing things exist”1. While this view is coherent with Newton’s theory of spacetime‚ it faces some challenges when combined with the Theory of Special relativity (STR). In this essay‚ I will first articulate more specifically the thesis of presentism and show the main arguments of the opposite position known as eternalism. I will then outline the special theory and its consequences for the metaphysics of presentism. I will consider some

Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 to Dr. Frank Hawking‚ a research biologist‚ and Isobel Hawking. He had two younger sisters‚ Philippa and Mary‚ and an adopted brother‚ Edward.[11] Though Hawking’s parents were living in North London‚ they moved to Oxford while his mother was pregnant with Stephen‚ desiring a safer location for the birth of their first child. (London was under attack at the time by the Luftwaffe.)[12] According to Hawking‚ a German V-2 missile struck only a few streets away

Definition Modernism is a literary and cultural international movement which flourished in the first decades of the 20th century. Modernism is not a term to which a single meaning can be ascribed . It may be applied both to the content and to the form of a work‚ or to either in isolation. It reflects a sense of

Theory of Relativity In 1915‚ Albert Einstein first proposed his theory of special relativity. Essentially‚ this theory proposes the universe we live in includes 4 dimensions‚ the first three being what we know as space‚ and the fourth being spacetime‚ which is a dimension where time and space are inextricably linked. According to Einstein‚ two people observing the same event in the same way could perceive the singular event occurring at two different times‚ depending upon their distance from

From millennium-skipping Victorians to phone booth-hopping teenagers‚ the termtime travel often summons our most fantastic visions of what it means to move through the fourth dimension. But of course you don’t need a time machine or a fancy wormhole to jaunt through the years. As you’ve probably noticed‚ we’re all constantly engaged in the act of time travel. At its most basic level‚ time is the rate of change in the universe -- and like it or not‚ we are constantly undergoing change. We age
