Culture refers to the cumulative deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and material objects and possessions acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual and group striving. The meaning says it all. But, as for me, culture is communication, and communication is culture. It is something

What is the kinetic energy of a 200-kg satellite as it follows a circular orbit of radius 8.0 ´ 106 m around the Earth? (Mass of Earth = 6.0 ´ 1024 kg.) 1) 5.0 ´ 109 J A 50-kg satellite circles the Earth in an orbit with a period of 120 min. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to another circular orbit with a period of 180 min? (Earth: radius = 6.4 ´ 106 m, mass = 6.0 ´ 1024 kg) 1) 2.9 ´ 108 J A satellite is in a circular orbit about the Earth at an altitude at which

identifies a number of common features of two or more things. Paley compared a watch with the universe, because he identified the shared common features of order, purpose and regularity. By implication, the watch demands a watchmaker and likewise the universe demands an intelligent designer which classical theism explains to be God. On the contrary, Hume argued it is an unsound analogy, he believed the universe is not like a machine that never changes, nor does it function like one. He proposed that

Chapter #1: A Universe of Life? 1.1 The Possibility of Life Beyond Earth What are we searching for? * What are we looking for exactly? * Is it: intelligent life portrayed in sci-fi, more akin to the plants and animals we see in parks or zoos, or is it tiny bacteria-like microbes? * The simple answer to this question is “all of the above” * Extraterrestrial life: Life beyond Earth, we are looking for any sign of life, be it simple, complex, or even intelligent

“Describe the meaning of the shadows in the analogy of the cave.” The analogy of the cave is what Plato used to portray his idea of the World of Forms more clearly. In it, he tells us to imagine that there are a group of prisoners who have been held in a cave all their lives, and have never left it or had any experience of the outside world. They are all chained facing a wall, so that they can never see the cave’s entrance. At the entrance of the cave, there is a fire, and whenever someone or

Dark Matter In the early 1990's, one thing was fairly certain about the expansion of the Universe. It might have enough energy density to stop its expansion and recollapse, it might have so little energy density that it would never stop expanding, but gravity was certain to slow the expansion as time went on. Granted, the slowing had not been observed, but, theoretically, the Universe had to slow. The Universe is full of matter and the attractive force of gravity pulls all matter together. Then came

It seems as if they are little stars in the universe moving along their own orbit. Look! What a spotless silvery world, how great, how magnificent! Away from the crowds of people,I stroll alone in the snow. Standing in the snow, flakes of snow float over my head, kissing me on the cheecks
