gravity has on light. He is now credited for being the first to consider the case of a supermassive object that prevents light from escaping. He called these objects “dark stars”‚ which we now know as black holes. With later knowledge of the theory of relativity‚ scientists were able to find out that when so much matter is concentrated in a small region‚ gravitational forces are so strong and space so extremely warped that light is no longer just being bent‚ but trapped inside the object (see image on the

Those who truly know us for who we really are; are the people that have the most influence in our lives‚ such as our parents. In my case it is my mother who has greatly impacted my life. She has stood beside me through thick and thin. I know that as long as she is here on this earth‚ she will stand beside me to love and support me unconditionally as she has done all these years. It is because of her that I am the person I am today. Behind my choices‚ character‚ my values‚ and behind me‚ proudly stands

My First Day In High School (by: Romhel Jay D. Lopez) When I graduate in elementary the school I want to get in high school is Eastern Mindoro College or as known as E.M.C. Because they give a better teacher and wonderful event. So that why I want to study in this school. Day before the school year comes I buy my school supply and other material for school in the supermall .I’m so excited when I buy my school supply because it so wonderful and many other than when I was in Elementary. After

When he returned to Caltech‚ he became a professor of theatrical physics in 1970. After a couple years‚ Kip Thorne wrote Gravitation in 1973‚ which became the standard graduate school text on general relativity. After a few more years he also wrote a very popular book called Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy‚ which was written in 1994. Kip Stephen Thorne really is one of the most skilled leading physicists in the world in the area

and the universe began to expand rapidly. The universe never sits still. It expands at a gradual rate. In the 1920s‚ Albert Einstein‚ an astrophysicist from Germany‚ had discovered evidence of the expansion of the universe through his Theory of Relativity‚ which was published in 1915. Following the creation of gravity‚ subatomic particles‚ such as protons and neutrons‚ were formed due to the force of the particles colliding with each other. It was actually around three minutes later that protons

million scientific research papers were published‚ far more than one could possibly read in a lifetime. However‚ when I visited CERN last year‚ I was told that all of our present understanding of physics could be summarised in a few equations: General Relativity‚ describing gravity; and the Standard Model‚ which describes the fundamental particles and their interactions. Can we gain complete knowledge about the universe through seeking general patterns‚ in the form of scientific theories? Or are we forced

Descartes proof‚ which states that since he can think he must exist‚ is flawed in the sense that it follows the assumption that some things are absolute. As seen in both Nietzsche’s and Merleau-Ponty’s books‚ nothing is absolute. They stated that everything was in perspective‚ and that humanity needed to study what is closer to them‚ whether it was psychology or phenomenology. The only things Descartes figured out were that he had a reason to doubt and that math and science could help him understand

gravity with some other force‚ such as electromagnetism or aerodynamic lift. Anti-gravity is a recurring concept in science fiction. In Newton’s law of universal gravitation‚ gravity was an external force transmitted by unknown means. Under general relativity‚ anti-gravity is impossible except under contrived circumstances. "Anti-gravity" is often used colloquially to refer to devices that look as if they reverse gravity even though they operate through other means‚ e.g. Anti-gravity is a concept
