...Jae Hyeon Park Mr. Tyc Calculus October 30, 2013 Faust in Copenhagen Faust in Copenhagen is story about seven physicists goes to small gathering of the group in Copenhagen and learn much more about themselves and their friends. In the group there were Lise Meitner, female, who is one of the high rank in field of experimentalist. Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, and Wolfgang Pauli are the one of the top 10 in country’s physicists’ rank. While they may be the one of the top ten scientists they were also a professor mentored generations of future scientist. In Faust in Copenhagen they mention many of the famous physic equation such as relativity by Einstein, one of the most famous scientists in history. During the meeting in Copenhagen these talented scientist came up with Copenhagen interpretation where it was much more like relativity theory made by Einstein but it was ironed out with group of people struggling to complete the theory. On top of finishing Copenhagen interpretation Pauli, Heisenberg, Dirac, and other has created an inventions it led to implements that affect our life still to these day, activities and tools for future research. Ever since beginning of gathering all the physicists have different points of view and throughout the story the protagonists of the book will resolve around conflicts that would sometime contain love, respect, or theory that they have created. The story of Faust in Copenhagen mostly describes around six scientists who came...

...studied theoretical physics. After he graduated, he taught math and physics briefly. Planck completed his habilitation thesis and began lecturing in Munich without getting paid becuase he was waiting to be offered a new postion. He also furthered his work on the field of heat theory. Planck then became a professor at Berlin University and joined the Physical Society. As far as Plancks home life goes, he married and had four children. He was friends with theologian Adolf con Harnack and his home soon because a social center. Famous scientists like Albert Einstein and Otto Hahn all frequently visited. His wife died and he remaired and had his third son. Planck's two sons and two daughters all died. By the end of the 1920s, Bohr, Heisenberg, and Pauli had worked out the interpretation of quantum mechanics, but Planck rejected it. He expected that wave mechanics would render the quantum theory, even though this can not be the case. Further work only cemented quantum theory, even against Einstein's revulsions. He originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. Max Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, and is very famous for being the originator of quantum theory. He ended his life at Göttingen on October 4, 1947, but he has contributed so much for the...

...Physics pre-assessment research task 1. Describe de Broglie’s proposal that any kind of particle has both wave and particle properties De Broglie suggested that if light can behave as both a wave and as a photon, particles could also have dual character. He proposed that all particles had wave properties as well as particle properties. He proposed that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particle, now known as the de Broglie wavelength of a particle and given by, λ=hmv. λ= Wavelength of light (m) h= Planck’s constant 6.626 x 10^-34 (J) m= Mass of the particle (kg) V= Speed of the particle (light) mv= Momentum of particle (kg m/s) 2. Define wave diffraction and interference Diffraction-is the bending of waves as they pass around the corner of a barrier or as they move through obstacles such as a slit. Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles of the medium. Destructive interference is a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction. For instance, when a sine pulse with a maximum displacement of +1 unit meets a sine pulse with a maximum displacement of -1 unit, destructive interference occurs. This is depicted in the diagram below...

...Fahrenheit 451: Censorship Imagine living in a world where you could not read or own any books. How would you feel if your house was burned down by someone because books were hidden somewhere between the walls? In the novel, owning books is illegal. A firemen in the novel starts fires rather than putting them out. Many people of the society don't even have an interest in reading books. Those interested will hold a book under their roofs, which can lead to serious risks. Either going to jail after your books and house is burned down or get burned with your books and house. In Fahrenheit 45, Censorship plays an enormous role and can be the most important theme. One of those roles are burning of books and the other is use of technology. One of the most general themes in Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 is censorship. Censorship is the suppression of speech or other information that may be considered objectionable, harmful, politically incorrect or inconvenient. In the novel the role of a fireman is different in the book than a fireman in our living. Firemen in the novel are enforcers of the censorship laws. They are notified when a person is known to have books in their house. The burning of books is censorship in Fahrenheit 451. The opening line “It was a pleasure to burn” (Bradbury 1) explains it all. Homes containing books was forbidden by law. Firemen could burn homes that had books. Books aren't really necessary because the power of technology has taken over of people...

...451: More Than Just an Auto-Ignition Point A look to the future seems bleak for the literary world. Forcing us to see the prospect of a world without the influence of creative thinking, this novel conjures a grim outlook. In the novel by Ray Bradbury titled Fahrenheit 451, fire symbolizes everything from the destruction of social issues to the renewal of hope. Guy Montag is the protagonist who faces a dilemma in a community that has chosen to burn all of the books. Montag is a fireman who is tasked with burning books as a profession. Montag meets a series of characters who aid him in his journey of preserving the information in the books. In the end, the knowledge is preserved in an unconventional way. In the article by Michelle Dean, titled “Our Young-Adult Dystopia”, she describes the current situation of books being mass produced without much substance. She discusses works that are similar to each other and lack depth. Dean talks about what is being published and how it is only for financial gain. Books that she speaks of, might actually be types of books that the society in Fahrenheit 451 would allow. The society in Fahrenheit 451 chooses to burn books to prevent the society form gaining knowledge. In the quote “Do you ever read any of the books you burn?”. He laughed. “It’s against the law!” (Bradbury 3). In this dystopian society, burning books was a way to keep people in the town from thinking on their own. Free thinking can lead to people having opinions that go against...

...Progeria is a rare, fatal genetic disorder, which is characterized by the appearance of accelerated aging in children. Progeria is also known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) since the two main doctors who worked on finding it are Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson in 1886, and Dr. Hastings Gilford in 1897. It is hard to diagnose children with progeria since it is not noticeable in newborns. Progeria is more visible within a year since the symptoms begin to show. Some symptoms that are noticeable are that their growth rate slows down, the weight decreases, as well as it stunts their growth. Children with progeria have the same intellectual capacity of a normal child their age. They are only affected with physical appearance such as baldness,...

...Montag’s attitude shifts from oblivious to divergent in order to convey not to make decisions off of what others are doing, but to make decisions off of what you think. On page one the quote, “...to shove a marshmallow on a stick in the furnace, while the flapping pigeon-winged books died on the porch and lawn…”. Bradbury includes this desire of Montag to show that he is completely oblivious to the fact that the books can help him. Instead of Montag trying to make use of the books, he is unaware of the fact that they can help him as portrayed by Bradbury. Bradbury further showcases Montag’s oblivious attitude by noting his unawareness of his job as a fireman. The quote on page 6, “ ‘It’s fine work. Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn ‘em to ashes, then burn the ashes…’ ”. The quote talks about how firemen have a slogan, which makes it ordinary for Montag to burn down houses and books which Montag is oblivious to because he never follows what he thinks is right. What Montag does is that he makes his decisions basing them off of what others are doing. Montag also talks to Clarisse nonchalantly about being a fireman which means that Montag doesn’t realize how doing what others have done influenced his life as a human being. Though Montag was first portrayed as an oblivious man, he later shifts to a divergent attitude later in the book. On page 21, Clarisse is conversing with Montag and the quote, “... ‘You’re not like the others’... ‘you looked at me’.....

...A book about burning books if that isn’t ironic then the definition of ironic needs to be checked. In the book, a man’s, named Guy Montag, eyes are opened to view life around him and as it progresses finds different types of fire. The man who thought up and wrote this ironic and classic novel titled Fahrenheit 451 was author Ray Bradbury. And in Ray Bradbury’s novel a symbol, fire, was represented in three different ways. The first representation of fire is that it is used as the solution to every problem. To help support this is a quote from captain Beatty on page 60, ”Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.” Well before captain Beatty said this he was talking about burning things that make others unhappy which means fire is a quick and easy solution. By burning the problem there is no unhappiness and with no unhappiness there is no problem to begin with. In conclusion the solution is always fire in Fahrenheit 451. Revolution is the second of the three representations of fire in Fahrenheit 451. Awhile later in the book, Faber and Montag were trying to think of ways to change the way things are. Then a plan is formed which Faber quotes on page 86, “It’s an insidious plan,...To see the firehouses burn across the land, destroyed as hotbeds of treason.” the plan was to frame other firemen by planting books in their houses causing them to be burned down. Others would see the enforcers breaking the laws they enforce and start to hopefully do the same. Resulting...

...Guy Montag from Fahrenheit 451 deals with conflict in his society. In the book, the theme is ignorance against knowledge. Guy’s society gains ignorance through the media and his society’s way of controlling its people. Since Guy and the rest of the people in his society are exposed only to what is “normal”, they don’t get the chance to gain knowledge. Guy gains knowledge through Clarisse and Faber because they open up Guy’s viewpoints. However, when Guy tries to educate others it doesn’t always go smooth because of the society’s insistence that their society shouldn’t be changed. In the story, Guy himself shows his ignorance in the book by showing his possessed joy of burning books. Guy Montag tells about his joy for his job, “ It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed.’’(pg.1)(paragraph 1) Guy himself shows ignorance by doing his job, which is burning books. The society of Guy Montag tells him and others that that is the right thing to do. If one was seen reading their house and them would be burned. Beatty, who is Guy’s captain, tells Guy that their society is fine the way it is. If their society were to be tampered with by people reading, then their society would be difficult. Beatty tells Guy that their society will be damaged if changed, “Don’t let the torrent of melancholy and drear philosophy drown our world. We depend on you. I don’t think you realize how important you are, we are, to our happy world...

...Burning Bright Entry 1 Guy Montag changed from being a good, moral fireman who had "pleasure to burn" (Fahrenheit, 3) and fulfill his job who would burn books and houses "It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with his great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world... playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history." (Fahrenheit, 3). He changed to being a "criminal" by his own society's definitions. He starts owning and reading books. He plots against his fellow firemen and becomes unconfirmed to his society anymore, filled with knowledge and power that he wants to pass to the next generations. He fights for a change to his society and wants to rebuild it for good and this reminds me of his quote about him saying, "And one day he would look back upon the fool and know the fool. Even now he could feel the start of the long journey, the leave-taking, the going-away from the self he had been." (Fahrenheit,103) as we see now in part 3, "Burning Bright". Memory Memories from Montag's head run across this entire chapter. We can see this theme depicted in his thoughts from his past experiences, "The beetle was rushing. The beetle was roaring. The beetle raised its speed. The beetle was whining.... It was up to 120 mph. It was up to 130 at least... They would have killed me, thought Montag." (Fahrenheit, 127-8). This reminds Montag of...

... The setting of the novel itself and the setting in which it was written contributes to the way in which censorship is portrayed as limiting individuality. The setting of the novel itself is in a post-apocalyptic, futuristic United States. In the novel, books contain opinions and ideas that the society simply does not understand. Therefore in order not cause conflict and turmoil among citizens, they began to burn books as said on page 58 by Beatty, Montag’s boss, “‘Authors, full of evil thoughts, lock up your typewriters. They did. Magazines became a nice blend of vanilla tapioca...there was no longer need of firemen for the old purposes. They were given the new job, as custodians of our peace of mind, official censors, judges, and executors’”. The burning of the books was for the good of the people, to keep them sane with singular ideologies such as obedience and compliance; doing anything that was out of the ordinary in any capacity is looked down upon. This leads to all of the citizens having a common mindset that is easy to control and influence by the government. The restriction of diversity in the material and content of the books made it so that citizens of the society were not able to come to their own conclusions or have their own thoughts. Therefore the censorship in the media discourages individuality in the novel. Bradbury writes the novel right after World War II where Nazi Germany themselves also practiced book burning. According to Edward E. Eller who wrote an...

...Fire is a very essential part of the novel. Fire plays a huge part, both metaphorically and literal. Fire is woven into the theme of the novel in many ways and in different times throughout the book. This helps by showing things such as character growth or just setting the mood. In the literal sense, fire is represented by most of the characters being firefighters. Firefights star fires in home to burn books because books are not allowed in the society also they have important knowledge in them and in the society they would like everyone equal. In this example fire symbolizes destruction. The firefighters do not save people or save anything like I originally thought. In truth, the firefighters create only destruction. In a metaphorical sense, fire is a main part of the book because it represents the destruction and the chaos throughout the plot. It represents the idea that any knowledge or power of the people must be destroyed. It also is metaphorical for the fire that is ignited inside Montag when he begins to question the things around him such as his job because the old woman shows how bad his job truly is and began to question if it is right or not. It also show that everyone has curiosity for every new thing they find and they need to find answers or find the truth. Fire is probably the most essential symbol in the book. Without it, the book would not convey the same message and would not be the same. The story would not have as much meaning and would not have...

...Fahrenheit 451 is a futuristic story written by Ray Bradbury regarding how society is going to be in the technology-filled future. Montag is a fireman in this distorted and twisted society, but oddly in this world firemen are not the people who extinguish the fires, but the people who start them. Fire is one of the main themes in this story, and Bradburry makes sure to incorporate as much as he can. The irony behind fire in this story is that not only does fire viscously incinerate books, which are banned, but by the end of the book it furnaces warmth and hospitality to Montag. The main reason Ray Bradbury incorporates irony in this story, such as the two different uses of fire, is to convey two essential life lessons. Ray Bradbury's outstanding intellect in literary knowledge fabricates the importance of irony in this story, and its relation to this society. The irony of the opposing uses of fire in is that not only does it cause death and despair, but it also gives off warmth and ease. As Montag harbors into the homeless camps among the most infamous literature writers, they come together and start a fire. A fire in which, “...It was not burning, it was warming,” (Bradbury 139). The significance of this moment in this story is impossible to overlook. The warmth and hospitality of this fire changes Montag’s mind. The fire opens him up, and he perceives the dual meaning that fire has to be very ironic. Ray Bradbury intentionally uses this irony in his story to illuminate a life...
