...come to mind? This is the most notorious bomb ever created to eradicate anything within a forty-seven mile radius. Any man-made weapon falls short of a hydrogen bomb’s destructive capability. You probably don’t know a lot about this weapon, but that’s already covered in this paper. Everything has to have an inventor, and that’s where we start. The inventor of the Hydrogen bomb is Edward Teller. Teller has received the Albert Einstein Award, Enrico Fermi Award, Harvey Prize in Technology, National Medal of Science of Physical Science, and the presidential Medal of Freedom. He was assigned by President Harry S. Truman. He got his education at Leipzig University, and later got another at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology....

...University Abstract Answering the questions we have about black holes brings us closer to understanding them and the many ways they can benefit us. They give us clear insight on Einstein's law of relativity, help create cutting-edge technology, give us extraordinary insights to the universe and most of all it gives us amazing journeys of imagination where we can contemplate their amazing properties. The mysteries of the black hole exemplify the beginning and the end of everything science has discovered out in our vast universe. Beginning with Newton's law of gravitation, Einstein's law of relativity and expanding to supermassive black holes with infinite density and infinite gravity. A supermassive black hole has the mass of 1,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 of our Suns. There are smaller black holes but the smallest has to have a mass of at least 10 of our Suns. It is this mass that creates the immense gravitational tides that compress a giant star into an incredibly small entity that has such a tremendous gravity that not even light can escape. How is this possible? How are they created? How do we know they are there if no light escapes from them? Is there more than one universe? Is there such things as wormholes that can connect vast distance of space and time? These just a few of the provocative questions black holes inspire. What are Black Holes and what do they mean? Science has made many fascinating discoveries in their quest to understand the phenomenon known...

...show the contrasts between the various types of love one can experience. Storge is familial love, Philia is friendship love, Eros is romantic love, and Agape is the selfless love that God has for us. Through these definitions, Lewis is able to better clarify the New Testament’s phrase, “God is love.” He explains that the actions of people can be unjust even if they are carried out in the name of love, because not all love is equal. Furthermore, Lewis points out that people often commit sins under the incorrect impression that if it is in the name of love, it is in the name of God. Conversely, he provides that God’s love for us, Agape, is typically the most challenging for us to express. This selfless and...

...SCIENTIFIC METHOD There is no mistaking it - the benefits from science are all around us. It has made our daily lives better through medicine, healthcare, technological, electrical and even mechanical innovation. If you are reading this paper on a computer, it is science that made it all possible. Understanding the many complexities of science can be quite a difficult undertaking, however, there is a common denominator that all scientists use in achieving the amazing results that they achieve; they use the scientific method. The scientific method allows scientists to utilize a common approach to address the requirements of the scientific community. These techniques allow other scientists, as well as just the layman, to know that there has been a standardized system applied to the scientific process. I will present a brief example of what the scientific method is and how to apply it to a real life issue. I have just arrived at home after a late night at work. I begin walking up to my front door and observe that the front porch light is not on. "That is interesting", I think to myself, "I wonder what it could be?" I begin to gather other information. I notice that there are lights on in my neighbor's house as well as a light being on in my own house in the kitchen. This tells me that there is not a power outage in my neighborhood. I open my front door and flip the interior light switch on and off; still the light does not come on. I...

...Karl Popper termed the demarcation problem as distinguishing science from pseudoscience. It is compelling that it cannot be inferred from multiple statements that a scientific law is true. Science proceeds by forming hypotheses and deductive inferences that show the hypothesis to be false; this is falsification. Presumptions in science are unjustifiable and Karl Popper’s method of hypothetico-deductivism is logical. Alan Chalmers’ scientific reasoning is inductive and he believes scientific method produces reliable knowledge through the application of inductive reasoning (SCIE1000 Lectures Notes (2015), p. 188). Science is not a body of facts, however, it is merely a method of critical thinking using evidence to justify hypotheses. Induction...

...Johnson 1 Recurrent Elements in Literary or Artistic Work For years companies have found new ways to find different avenues to put to use the robot. Scraps of metal put together to make a man made assistant and worker. Every generation it is something new in the news or internet about how computers and robots will help in every day living. There is always talk of what the next best thing a robot will be good for and how they can tweak the newest model to be better then the last. The most recurrent element seems to be the actual revision of improving the robot on a daily basis. Man first made robots to help in homes and factories like in Karel Capek’s “R.U.R”, until the robots turned on them and then humans became the minority race. Once they built them with just a little more than the regular the robots turned on them. They were made to be playmates with children as in Isaac Asimov, “Robbie”, with Gloria being 8 she believed Robbie was her best friend with feelings. This robot did everything for her and with her. Then her mother took Robbie away from her only to have Gloria’s father reunite them and Robbie save Gloria’s life. He, I believe had some type of emotional connection to Gloria. They were pretty basic, couldn’t speak, didn’t eat food and whether they had faces or not was up to the builder himself. They then began to make them a little more sophisticated by adding programs that the robots/computers...

...examination. This test is geared for the minimal entry level of competency that is required. Associates Degree Nursing: To achieve this degree from start to completion usually takes 2 to 3 years within the community college or some technical school where the students at the end of their graduation may challenge the NCLEX-RN examination. The associate degree in nursing was first started in the 1960s in the United States at the community college level. Mildred Montag was the director as well as the founder of this technical degree. This was due to the shortage that the nursing community was experiencing. Nursing students are given the foundation of the anatomy and physiology, as well as microbiology. This along with chemistry, are the sciences that are required by this group. There is some community service...

...in European history. The Renaissance was a time of exciting changes and advances in art, literature, and science. The purpose of this paper is to explain how the Renaissance changed the views of the world. Illiteracy was common in the Middle Ages due to not having a lot of schools for education. Since people did not have a well education, they did not understand why or how things happened in life. In the Background Essay it quotes, “Both serfs and their masters looked to the Catholic Church and the Bible to explain the world.” In the 1300’s, education began to spread due to the need of people to efficiently carry on their work. Education made people to start to...

...From a young age, I have always shown an increased interest in science. More specifically, discovery and experimentation. I did not want to sit down in a class and learn of something through secondhand methods, I wanted to experience what was being taught. Sixth grade was the first time I took a designated science class. The class was labeled as an introductory science class, meant to cover most aspects of science, but the teacher focused mainly on biology and earth sciences. My love for biology took root and continued to grow as I had some of the best teachers guiding me. In the middle of my seventh-grade year, my cousin was diagnosed with Otahara Syndrome at just six weeks old and had to have emergency brain surgery before more of his brain...

...determine the sodium hypochlorite percentage in two commercial bleaches. Once we figured the two percentages we compared them to see which was the strongest. To determine the amount of NaClO in each solution we had to perform two successive oxidation reduction reactions. For the experiment to have been successful NaClO(aq)+2NaI(aq)+2HC2H3O2(aq)→I2(aq)+NaCl(aq)+2NaC2H3O2(aq)+H2O(l) needed to become colorless shown as: I2(aq)+2Na2S2O3(aq)→Na2S4O6(aq)+2NaI(aq). Before beginning, we thought the second bleach would be stronger. Methods and Materials 1. First, we gathered all of the materials, which included: * Buret Clamp * Buret * Ring Stand * Small Funnel * Beaker for collecting waste materials * 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask 2. Then we rinsed the buret with 10 mL of 0.100 M sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3), using the small funnel, to clean the buret. The sodium thiosulfate was discarded into the waste beaker. 3. After the cleaning process, we made sure the buret valve was in the closed position. We then filled the buret with 0.100 M Na2S2O3. It is acceptable for the liquid to be over the zero mark at this time. 4. We then placed the waste beaker beneath the buret and opened the valve quickly and watched and listened for an air bubble to leave the tip of the buret. We then quickly turned the valve off....

...AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH is the 2006 Academy Award winning documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim about former United States Vice President Al Gore's campaign to educate citizens about global warming via a comprehensive slide show that, by his own estimate made in the film, he has given more than a thousand times. The film highlights Al Gore’s efforts to spread out the seriousness regarding Global Warming and Climate Change i.e. how we humans have brought this upon us by increasing CO2 emissions and how our situation can be improved. He first highlights the vulnerability of the Earth’s Atmospheric Shell which is being filled with pollution and is so thin that we’re capable of changing its composition. As said by him “The sun's radiation comes in the form of light waves and that heats up the Earth. And then some of the radiation that is absorbed and warms the Earth is reradiated back into space in the form of infrared radiation. And some of the outgoing infrared radiation is trapped by this layer of atmosphere and held inside the atmosphere. And that's a good thing because it keeps the temperature of the Earth within certain boundaries, keeps it relatively constant and livable. But the problem is this thin layer of atmosphere is being thickened by all of the global warming pollution that’s being put up there. And what that does is it thickens this layer of atmosphere” He explains using an animated video (on watching which even a layman would understand what...

...the organisms are equal. On the other side however, scientist and some anthropologists who stand on human’s perspective point out that all the efforts we have paid to try to be nice to animals are just because we are humans and we are the dominant force on this earth. The better position should be --- we as humans should protect animals since they live on the same planet as we do, but the first priority of all the creatures are to survive which is very cruel but very true. Therefore, humans have the right to make their lives better by conducting a certain level of animal testing. Animal testing is essential for human beings to cure their diseases. The record of animal would be traced back to at least 2000 years ago with the first record made in the third century B.C. In Egypt, philosopher and scientist Erisistratus used animals to study body functions. About five centuries later, the roman physician Galen proved that theory by conducting an animal test and finally uncovered the mask of body function (Research Animals, History, n.d). According to the FBR, (Foundation for Biomedical Research), the death rate has been declining since conducting animal research. Throughout the histories, animal testing has helped humans getting over millions and millions of diseases which could have caused the extinction of human race. They think that if you are an American alive in these days you must have benefited by some of animal research. One of the most important developments in medicine...

...personal view on algebra being a requirement for your degree program. How do you feel about being forced to take math? My personal view on algebra is that it has never been one of my favorite subjects because I could never catch on to it because all of the letters that are mixed into it makes me confused. I don’t feel that I am being forced to take algebra, but when I found out that it was one of the subjects that are required in my degree program, I was a little hesitant to start school. I made my mind up to come back and face my fear of this subject because I felt that if I could overcome the loss of my grandmother, then I could succeed in algebra.

...Globalization: A Place for All Amanda MacDonald SSC 200 M04, Social Sciences Professor Joshua February 3, 2015 Globalization: A Place for All We are all offspring’s of globalization whether we realize it or not. The world we live in today has been globalized time and time again. New ideas, religions, cultures, beliefs, identities, and lifestyles have transformed and brought about new beginnings for some, and loss for others. A lot of us though don’t know the real meaning of globalization, in the book Bound Together it once describes it as this, “the process by which the experiences of everyday life, marked by diffusion of commodities and ideas, can foster a standardization of cultural expressions around the world” (Chanda, 2007). I took this as one-day actions can change the whole word, such as expressions, beliefs, authority, identities, and many other minor changes for a person’s life. Who are the globalizers and how long have they been doing this? In my opinion the globalizers can be anyone, but mostly the dominant cultures, and countries are the ones who do the majority of globalizing. A lot of countries don’t have freedom to believe what they wish, speak a certain language, work where they want to work, live with all their family members, and enjoy life. In other parts of the world there is a lot of freedom, you can believe in a god, or no god, you get to choose where you want to live, have a good paying career, live with nice clothes, and things, and most...
