For thousands of years, astronomers have had trouble with questions about the age, geometry, and size of the universe. Does the universe extend continuously, or does it have an ending point somewhere? Was the universe created at a certain time or was it here from the beginning? In 1929, astronomer Edwin Hubble, made a breakthrough discovery that led to the scientific answers for the questions above; he discovered that the universe is expanding. First, I will briefly explain some of the cosmological

Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” and Stephen Crane’s “The Blue Hotel” though different, compare as examples of Naturalism with their theme of human survival of the fittest and harsh telling of the human condition. The human condition in these stories is that while it seems humans have free will, fate is already predetermined. “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” and “The Blue Hotel” characters differ. Peter Farquhar is a wealthy plantation owner, desperate to help the Southern

Black holes are one of the most intriguing phenomenon of space. A black hole is a hole in space that nothing can escape from it, not even light. Inside this black hole every matter gets crushed to “an infinitesimally small point” according to Einstein’s theory. Since light can not escape a black hole, nothing else can. This paper will hopefully provide an overview of the mystery of black holes and briefly discuss the nature of black holes, the causes of black holes and their types. So, what are

As of late i have had the opportunity to discuss physics and get a better understanding of the forces involved in everyday life. Each and every day physics of all types are continuously happening around us all. We may not notice it, but that's because its all just normal for us now. From driving a car down Pacific Coastal Highway to looking West as we watch giant waves crash in to the coast

From the end of the nineteenth century to the outbreak of World War I, great developments in technology and knowledge brought about significant changes in the way man viewed time and space. The necessity of clear train schedules led to the development of World Standard Time and the plurality of private time. In regards to space, with which this paper deals, man moved into other subjective realms beyond the two and three dimensions described by Euclid. In fact, with Einstein's
