I love astronomy and I am an aspiring radio astronomer. Radio astronomy is the intersection of the fields I find most interesting, exciting, and intellectually and practically satisfying, namely Electronics Engineering, Physics, and Mathematics. So, I have worked diligently these past three years to increase my understanding and mastery of these subjects, and I have greatly enjoyed the process. My motivation of taking astronomy as my career started in high school through popular science magazines

One of the most well-known names in history, Galileo Galilei was a pioneer in astronomy, mathematics and physics. Alive during an age of new ideas, Galileo was an undisputed leader of the scientific revolution. Pioneering in the fields of celestial observation, heliocentrism, and kinematics, amongst a plethora of others, he made a lasting impression on the world. This impression was not always in his favor, though, leaving him the victim of a Catholic Church reeling from the Protestant Reformation

sense? In psychological terms? What does time do? How does it work? Can it be transcended? Time in many ways is like space. In physics, time and space are woven together, like a fabric upon which all matter lies. At the limits, near the speed of light, movement in time is yoked to movement in space. As spatial speed increases, temporal speed slows. Recent quantum physics, in the area of non-local phenomena, suggests that both time and space are not as they appear on our scale of existence. It appears

In the year of 1643, a magnificent scientist passed on, but another was born. Isaac Newton entered this world the same year Galileo left it, and he became one of the most famous scientists of all time. (“How Isaac Newton Changed the World”, 2008, para. 7) He explored a wide range of topics and made many groundbreaking discoveries, but he is most famous for his law of gravitation. The name Isaac Newton might bring the image of an old man getting hit in the head by a falling apple, but in reality,

and journalists – that philosophy as practised nowadays is a waste of time and philosophers a waste of space. More precisely, he wrote that philosophy is ‘dead’ since it hasn’t kept up with the latest developments in science, especially theoretical physics. In earlier times – Hawking conceded – philosophers not only tried to keep up but sometimes made significant scientific contributions of their own. However they were now, in so far as they had any influence at all, just an obstacle to progress through

Lab #3: Controlling Currents 09/18/13 Objective- The first objective in this lab is to determine how a light bulb behaves in different circuit arrangements. The second objective investigates how the voltage across the light bulb varies with the amount of current through it. Finally, the last objective is to explore how the length of a wire affects resistance. Procedure- Activity 1 A) Measure the voltage across an open-circuit cell by connecting the positive terminal of the voltmeter

The Simple Pendulum Investigation Purpose To investigate the different factors, such as varying length, mass, and angle, that affect the period (Time) of a pendulum every 10 cycles. Hypothesis I predict that the pendulum period will change by the length you add to the string. The more length, the longer period cycle. Also the mass will not effect the period since regardless of how heavy an object, everything falls at the same speed. Finally the angle will not make too much of a difference since

1. The total surface area of all eight cubes equals out to 192 due to the equation below. [(2∗2)∗6]∗8=192 the equation for the larger equals 128 as seen here. (4∗4)∗6=96 192/96= 1:2 2. Water's density is ≈ 1,000kg/m^3 The displaced water occupies about 600/1000=.6m^3 The barge's area is 15m^2. V = L×W×H = .6m^3 H (depth of sinking) = .6m^3/15m^2 = .04m = 40mm” 3.
