There, they meet Dr. Brand, a college professor of Cooper's. Brand reveals that a wormhole, apparently created by an alien intelligence, appeared near Saturn 48 years before and leads to a distant galaxy, 10 billion light-years from Earth and the Milky Way, with numerous potentially habitable planets. Twelve volunteers have gone through it, knowing they were unlikely to be able to return, each to assess a different planet's suitability as a new home for humanity. Three – Miller, Edmunds and Mann – have

The “Respect for People” principle is one of the two pillars of The Toyota Way; the other being “Continuous Improvement.” Toyota claims that respect for people is the foundation for continuous improvement. Many managers seem to think they know what this “Respect for People” principle implies, and they believe that they follow it. The reality is that most do not understand this concept outside of the Toyota management system. Toyota states, “Respect for people is the attitude that regards people’s

Canes Venetic, the Hunting Dogs. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.5 and is approximately 29.5 million light-years distant from the Sun. Also cataloged as NGC 5055, Messier 63 is around 100,000 light-years across, about the size of our Milky Way Galaxy. Discovered by French astronomer Pierre Mechain in June 1779, the galaxy later made it as the 63rd entry into Charles Messier’s famous catalogue, published in 1781.It is a member of the M51 Group – a group of galaxies, named after its brightest

In 1919 Edwin Hubble used his telescope to "Tackle the mystery of the nebula." (pg 321) Hubble established one of the most important facts about the universe. That it is made up of billions of galaxies, of which the Milky Way is but only one. (pg 322) Hubble also discovered through his observations that the more distant a galaxy was from earth, the faster it moved away from us. Now known as "Hubble's Law", which reads, "The farther away a galaxy, the faster it recedes."

The magnitude scale was invented by an ancient Greek astronomer named Hipparchus in about 150 BC He ranked the stars he could see in terms of their brightness, with 1 representing the brightest down to 6 representing the faintest. Modern astronomy has extended this system to stars brighter than Hipparchus' 1st magnitude stars and ones much, much fainter than 6. As it turns out, the eye senses brightness logarithmically, so each increase in 5 magnitudes corresponds to a decrease in brightness by a

religion can co-exist and some says it cannot. I say that it can to a certain extent. I believe that science is what God wants us to know and he has helped us throughout the ages discover new things. We discovered that the Sun is the center of the Milky Way and that the planets revolve around it. We discovered that the Earth is round and that people will not fall off. New planets are being discovered and old planets becoming something else (poor Pluto). I will also explain why I believe that science and
