A Brief History of Telescopes 1608 AD – Hans Lippershey‚ German-born Dutch lens maker‚ applied for a patent for his refracting telescope (using 2 lenses)‚ he intended them for use in the military. 1609-1610 – Galileo Galilei built his own refractor telescopes to observe the sky‚ and discovered Saturn’s rings‚ Jupiter’s moons‚ and along with many other significant discoveries. 1655 – Christian Huygens‚ a Dutch physicist and astronomer developed powerful lenses for refractor telescopes with his

What Is Physics and What Are Its Uses? Physics‚ a branch of science‚ is traditionally defined as the study of matter‚ energy‚ and the relation between them. The interaction between matter and energy is found everywhere. In order for matter to move‚ it requires some form of energy. Sports show many good examples of the relationship between matter and energy. For instance‚ a pitcher requires energy to throw a baseball at the incredible speed and accuracy that is needed to keep the batter from

One quote that stuck with me during their encounter was‚ "And when you want something‚ all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it" (Coelho 22). This quote held the most significance because it fit perfectly with the whole story. The omens and the people he met throughout the story was basically the universe helping him along his journey to find his Personal Legend.

When we shift our attention from the rat-race pursuit of going to work just to maintain what we’ve acquired‚ to a more meaningful quest for real understanding‚ we truly will separate ourselves form the animals. The exploration of our universe‚ for example‚ is in its zygote stage; we know little enough about the community in which we live. How can we be so egocentric as a race to be on a tiny planet in a vast universe and not explore

The Law of Attraction proves to be the most powerful law in the universe‚ as is shown through the study of quantum physics and the relationship between the flow of energy into and out of the body. If humans learn to manifest the energies of the universe and one’s own being in a proper manner‚ we will be able to accomplish everything our hearts desire‚ according to the Law of Attraction.

Aristarchus (310 – 230 BC) Aristarchus of the isle of Samos was the first of the Greek philosophers and mathematicians to work out the workings of the universe and announce his discovery. Aristarchus‚ by observing the moon during a lunar eclipse‚ and estimating the angles between the Earth‚ Moon and Sun‚ as well as the size of the earth‚ was also one of the first astronomers to calculate the relative sizes of the Sun‚ Moon and Earth. Other astronomers before Aristarchus assumed that the

variety of writing techniques to get his point across. First‚ the repetition and parallel structure that his poems contain reinforce the connection between everything in nature. The usage of "All" 11 times emphasizes the inclusion of everything in the universe. The sentence structure remains the same throughout the poem‚ without any drastic change; however‚ the length of the lines in the poem vary. In addition‚ Whitman’s’ extravagance with his words further illustrates his idea of the Over-Soul. For example

SELF LOVE IS NOT SELFLISHNESS “You‚ yourself‚ as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection‚” said Buddha. Our self-centred lives may suggest we love our-selves rather well. Yet‚ despite pampering our-selves with the best what life has to offer we still suffer from sadness‚ anger‚ loneliness‚ incompleteness and bitterness. The attention we lavish upon ourselves disproves that we don’t love ourselves. However‚ our insatiate love longing for harmony and happiness means

In the early 1500s when almost everyone believed that the Earth was the center of the universe a polish scientist & astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus came up with a theory that the sun was the center of the universe and not the earth like many believed. Born on Feb. 19‚ 1473 in Poland and having a bishop as an uncle he was given a solid education. He moved at the age of 22 to Italy to further his studies at the university of bologna. It was there where Copernicus became more interested in astronomy
