The film “When Worlds Collide” offers an in depth analysis of the early influences effecting both European and American civilizations. One area that I found interesting is how different European royalty handled the advancement of their beliefs in the Americans. Each of them faced different obstacles, both in their own land, and abroad with their decisions affecting millions of people globally. Another piece of this documentary I found interesting is how influential our native foods were on a global

Nir Goldman, Mark A. Sephton & Mark J. Burchell http://phys.org/news/2013-09-scientists-cosmic-factory-blocks-life.html In the article it states that when icy comets collide into a planet, amino acids are created. These are the building blocks of life and from the amino acids. This means that amino acids can be created anywhere in the world with these conditions. The article also states that a couple of moons of Saturn have the perfect environment for creating amino acids if a comet hits them

By studying ancient rock formations throughout the world, geologists have been able to determine at least two times in the Earth’s history, its land masses have been combined as one super continent. Withgott and Laposata (2012) say that plate boundaries can be categorized into three different types; divergent

motion colliding with each other. He also stated that the void had an equal right with reality, is to considered existent. He conceived of the void as a vacuum, an infinite space in which moved an infinite number of atoms that make up the physical world. The combinations of atomic formed by creation growth and destruction. These atoms are absolutely small that their size cannot be seen by the senses. Democritus had that the view that all matter being atoms, he believed persons saw changes in things

landorms, climate, and fossils to support his theory of continental drift. He said that when it came to landforms all the continents seemed to fit like a “jigsaw puzzle”. Even went as as far to say the mountain ranges seemed to line up as well. Wegener said that the same fossils and rock from one continent would end up on a different continent. For instance a fossil found in Africa would also be found in South America. When it came to climate, Wegener said that some fossils did not match the climate. For

relatively new science. It’s partially explained in the sense that we still don’t know fully about how the plates came together, what they were before they were the seven continents we know today. We already know, or have a theory, about what our world was like a long time ago and so if we already know that the plates can pull and push against each other, then surely there must have been a different set up to the one we have now. There is a theory that we were once a supercontinent called Pangaea

around the overlapping or interlocking events in the life of whites and blacks, rich and poor, cops and criminals, Iranians, Koreans and Latinos - everything defined ultimately by racism. The idea is that “moving at the speed of life, we are bound to collide with each other”. It is based on everyday racial reactions in the human society. How we react to situations adds hue to our perceptions of living life itself. All the people involved are guilty of the discrimination but sometimes through indifference

Symbolism of Movies Parallels of Star Trek and World Religions Live long and prosper The new star trek is a long journey mainly on the focus of James Kirk and Spok. In the beginning they start out as opposites and in the end they end up as friends. Typical happy ending I know, but the interesting part is that I hope to show the links between Star Trek and World Religions, which I think are both good subjects to explore and correlate. Buddhism, compassion, the middle way, logic instead of

When looking at the world at night from the sky we can see how far humans have come in harnessing and manipulating energy, which is so vital to our existence. We use energy to build houses and buildings which protect us, we use it to power our modes of transport, and we use energy that we get from food to power our bodies. With the work of three scientists humans were able to harness and manipulate energy and use it. Gottfried Leibniz and Denis Papin exchanged several notes on the idea of a living

another (Phun Physics). An example would be a car accelerating. When a car accelerates the gasoline has energy stored in it that is released as heat by burning it inside the engine. At least 10% of the heat energy is converted into the cars energy of motion. The rest stays in the form of heat which is released by the cars exhaust (Phun Physics). Another example could be when two cars collide in a traffic accident. When the two cars collide they release an energy that can be transferred from one to the
