Most friends chuckle when I tell them that my favorite TV show is Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey and its host, the Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, is my hero. They get startled knowing that I spend Friday nights at the observatory of a local university, peering through a 20-inch telescope at the moon, globular clusters, planets, nebulas, and galaxies. They gave up listening on knowing that I usually spend several hours a night watching YouTube clips on the double slit theory, the effect of gravity on time, subatomic particles, and other mysteries related to the very essence of the universe.

When my ...

Have you ever asked yourself what chapter or topics in psychology you will remember forever after your undergraduate degree! If not, I advice you to take my choice. Chapter 1 on the topic “The Six Scientific Thinking Principles,” the six scientific thinking principles are correlation vs. causation, falsifiability, Replicability, extraordinary claims, ruling out rival hypotheses and Occam’s razor. I think these principles can be applied in many different situations in life because it goes beyond psychology.

Correlation verses Causation, this is an error of ignorance or assuming that because something is associated with another, then it automatically ...

Every culture is blessed with mythology and mysteries. Mythology as defined by Nwankwo is, "legends of the people's history, religion, stories of how the world was created, traditions of origin and their heroes and they are meant to describe the structure of the world's people live in and the force that operate in it."

Question 1

There are numerous methods used to measure the distance of universal bodies that lie in space. Various geometrical and cosmological characteristics are in the formulation of these measurement methods. The parallax as one of the methods is built on the principle that a difference in angles of objects as viewed by the natural eye is a factor of distance. For instance, taking the eye as the baseline and trying to find out the distance of an object directly a distance away can give different values depending on which eye one uses in viewing the object. This is made possible by the proximity ...

The “Coyote” by Allen Steele is a thrilling science fiction literal work. The work employs imagery and proper descriptive language. The novel is also unique and avoids the conventional styles such as incorporating chapters but instead presents the work in chunks. It also employs the first and third person narrative style. This is a great portrayal of the liberty that Allen Steele uses in his style of writing. The Allen Steele’s work also illustrates a fabulous portrayal of diverse and very rich personas (characters) in their attempt to dominate a new planet. As I read the book. I noticed the uncanny ...

Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring gas which is produced by the plants, animals and microorganisms. This gas is continuously being exchanged between the atmosphere, land and ocean’s surface in a balanced way (Mader 2011).

Various human activities which began after the industrial revolution that took place in the 1800 has contributed significantly to the buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere. About 3 to 6% of the CO2 in the atmosphere is due to human activities. Although it is less when compared to the emission of CO2 by natural causes like volcanic eruptions, the balance of emission and absorption of ...

The Middle Ages, also termed as the Medieval Period is an era that lasted between 5th and 15th century. The downfall of the Western Roman Empire marked its beginning as they merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. It thus makes it the middle period of three ancient divisions of the Western history namely; the Antiquty, the Medieval period (divided into the Early, the High, and the Late Middle Ages), and the Modern Period. Each and every of these stages was characterized by different developments as well as the impact the development had in history (MEIER & MCGEOCH ...

Introduction

Theologically speaking, the nature or concept of God and beliefs or practices differ based on religious doctrine. In some cases, some religious groups base or borrow their doctrines on established ones or from known mythological narratives. This is especially true for cult groups that establish their significance on symbolism that is familiar to most people. Heaven’s Gate set an example because it is a cult that formulated its doctrines from pre-established canons such as those found in the Holy Bible infused with elements of science fiction. The result of which is a reinterpretation of the Bible within the context of ...

Introduction

The atmosphere by delineation refers to the gaseous composition together with other particles that surround the surface of the earth. In the atmosphere, there are gases, and the solid particles that are in suspension. Scientifically, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers. Using the ascending order, the first layer is the troposphere that rises about 10-13 km from the surface of the earth. This is closely followed by the stratosphere that rises over 50km above, them the thermosphere that rises between 80-480 km, and lastly the exosphere that goes beyond the 480 km and gradually dissipates in the ...

Global warming is one of the biggest and controversial issues facing the world today. Global warming refers to the change in climate which can be attributed directly or not directly to human activity which alters the composition of the global atmosphere by the earth overheating. Global warming is a problem that needs to be addressed. If global warming is not addressed, there will be an increase in higher temperatures, and with the increase in higher temperatures, the oceans will rise, and this will affect the vegetation. In addition, global warming puts wildlife at risk because if the warming continues, many ...

Genesis 1:1-5

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning – the first day (The Holy Bible, New International Version). Human Condition: In Genesis 1, Moses gives us the ...

The creationist theorists have devised a tactic to include disclaimers in science texts. The disclaimers usually contain misconceptions aimed at discrediting scientific theories regarding the origin of life. Some people argue that the failure of creationists to have the theory of creation taught in science classes along with the evolution theory has led to the use of disclaimers as a way to discredit the theory of evolution. In the current scenario, the effort to discredit evolution is apparent from phrases such as “Evolution also refers to the unproven belief that random, undirected forces produced a world of living beings.” Such statement ...

Seasons are caused by the tilting of the earth’s axis in relation to its orbit around the sun. Moreover, the angle from which the sun hits the earth exposes some areas to longer periods of sunlight than others. In addition, the intensity of the sun’s heat varies from place to place depending on the direction of the sun. Equinoxes denote the axis of the earth being analogous to the direction of its revolution. The Vernal (spring) equinox occurs on March 21st while the Autumnal (fall) equinox takes place on September 21st. During equinoxes days and nights ...

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a French Jesuit priest who also researched paleontology. Thus, many of his texts are oriented towards the conciliation between the scientific, earthly worldview and the Christian one. This discussion is one of the principle subjects that he discusses in “The Heart of the Problem”, one of the chapters in The Future of Man. There, he expresses that in his opinion, the de-Christianization that Western civilization has suffered since the XVIIth century is mainly due to a perceived rupture between religious transcendence and both science and neo-humanism, which are more focused on Earth and Nature. The main ...

Artistic Analysis and Discussion

Paintings representing themes about Jesus and several important accounts in his life have become a distinct source of inspiration during the baroque era especially for European painters. One of such works includes that of Caravaggio’s The Supper at Emmaus now placed at the National Gallery of London. Paid by Ciriaco Mattei, this art work was specifically noted to have a great impact in the presentation of one of the most remarkable accounts on Jesus’ life on earth and his dealings after he has been resurrected from death. Recognized for its presentation of the deeper meaning on how such account in ...

Abstract

Ozone layer depletion is a phenomenon in which ozone layer in the stratosphere thins out making it possible for the direct penetration of UV rays into the Earth's surface. This can lead to an array of harmful effects on human health, plants, and animals and can even trigger climate change. Chlorofluorocarbons are recognized as the primary cause accounting for 80% of ozone depletion. Though a lot of steps have been taken around the world to reduce ozone depletion, it may take about few decades more to completely heal the ozone layer due to the long standing stability of CFCs in the ...

Weather is referred as atmospheric conditions that may be warm or cold, clear or cloudy, wet or dry, and calm or stormy. These weather conditions occur in the lowest part of the earth’s atmosphere called troposphere. It is variations in day to day temperature that characterize weather and its conditions. In this essay, we strive to know weather, its causes and effects, and weather forecasting and weather modification efforts. When the term weather is referred; it is earth's weather and it differs from climate that refers to average weather conditions which sustain for a longer period. Causes of ...

God’s Grandeur has been written by Gerard Manley Hopkins and is one of those poems that reinstates the importance of God in human lives. The poem is based on a fundamental thought and the thought has been beautifully stitched together with words by Gerard Manley Hopkins. The poem has been penned with subtle usage of words and is reminiscent of God’s greatness and love for the inhabitants of the Earth. The poem is based on the way in which God continues to usher his love to mankind either by the rays of the Sun or the greenery of ...

Climate is changing rapidly. Credible international scientific evidence affirms the fact that the global climate is changing as a result of excessive human activities by depletion of natural resources. This global warming needs to be reduced at the earliest by implementing regulations and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; otherwise the global temperature will continue to increase by approximately 3 degrees Celsius over the next century (IPCC, 2007). In my opinion, pollution is one of the biggest causes of global warming. It is not possible that the pollution has nothing to do with global warming or the depletion of the ...

Earth, the planet, as we know it today, is a home to the human race. However, the residents of this planet seem to be unaware of its importance and are raising serious concerns for the well-being, or it would not be wrong to document, the survival of this home. Many efforts have been made by the ecological friendly individuals residing on this planet after a realization of this hard fact. . In an attempt to do so, the researchers have put forth a term called degrowth that makes the core of this subject matter. Degrowth simply means a change in the living style of ...

Global warming is mainly a process that uses the atmosphere of the earth as a blanket to hold energy from the sun to heat the air. As of now the global warming process has made the earth’s atmosphere hotter up to around 60 degrees Fahrenheit compared to the latter years. The effects of global warming are being experienced throughout the earth with increased temperatures and irregular weather patterns. The world has undergone several climatic changes over the past centuries. These past changes occurred slowly ranging over a period of hundreds of thousand years, but the process has been moving much faster ...

In his article, Lifeboat Ethics: A Case against Helping the Poor, Garret Hardin brings forward the argument of whether rich nations should help the poor ones. Hardin claims that economic support strategies for the world’s developing nations such as the World Food bank will not help to alleviate the problems that plague these nations. Hardin’s basic claim is that the world is already doing too much in helping the poor. Because of this poor, the poor have absolutely no inclination to help themselves. He is of the opinion that public is blatantly interested in assisting the less ...

Are you one of those adventurers who are planning to climb Mount Everest to reach the highest point on earth? You may have to change your plans already. Mount Chimborazo, located in the Cordillera Occidental, Andes Mountains, Ecuador has been found out to be the “Highest Mountain above the Earth’s Center”. Although, Mt. Everest has the highest altitude, Mount Chimborazo is said to be higher by at least two (2) kilometers than Mount Everest due to the “equatorial bulge” of the earth. (geology.com, 2014) Mount Chimborazo is an Andean stratovolcano in Central Ecuador. It is also the ...

It was personal resentment towards Socrates that brought him apologizing to the Athenian judicial system, than anything else. Socrates was charged for being a sophist for his way to present the weaker arguments as the strongest, and physicalist because he investigated things that lie in the skies and beneath the earth. However, Socrates responds with masterly eloquence. He says that that the most dangerous Athenian citizens are those who manipulate young minds and fill them with falsehoods about “one Socrates, a wise man, who speculated about the heaven above, and searched into the earth beneath, and made the worse appear the ...

Finding intelligent life on another planet has shifted from a long-lasting dream to an upcoming probability. The UFO sightings has become so common that it is now really ignorant to think that we are the only inhabitants of this immense universe. If I was ever on the committee to decide who should speak for our planet, I would make sure it is a person with an open mind to accept new things in his/her life. A bigot who sticks to the values and lessons taught to him in pre-school cannot accept the fact that our lives are going to be a ...

The websites defines space weather as “conditions in space that change from time to time.” This weather is not the same as the weather we define for the planet Earth (which is determined by temperature, air pressure, the speed and direction of the wind, etc) but they share some certain characteristics. The space weather circumstances can easily be modified by a number of factors, such as the changes in the sun’s radiations, the changes in the speed and pressure of the solar wind (a flow of charged particles), and the shift in the strengths and directions of the magnetic fields. ...

The moon is one of the most important features of the planet Earth. Without this natural satellite, the evolution of life on the planet and the way it has developed to what it is now would be a lot different. If there were no moon, consequently there were no such thing as tides, which Joan S. Davis in his article Water: Communicator in Moon-Earth Relationships, calls “clearly the most readily associated effect” that moon has on earth. According to the same article, tides are not the only water-related effects that moon has upon the earth. Moon also imposes “ ...

<Student Name> <Name and Section # of course> <Instructor Name> In the present day, many movies related to the field of Astronomy are made and seen by large audiences. However, some of them are loaded with incorrect facts about Science and Astronomical knowledge that can negatively affect their viewers. One such example is the movie Armageddon made in 1998 based on an asteroid’s collision with the Earth which is alleviated by a team of oil drillers sent by NASA who plant nuclear explosives to the asteroid so it blows up, sliding past Earth. The ...

How were Uranus's rings discovered?

William Herschel was the first observer to mention that Uranus has a ring system in 1789. It was only a speculation since the astronomers that time could not observe any rings around Uranus. The discovery of the Uranian ring system was observed almost 200 years later by James Elliot, Edward, Dunham, and Douglas Mink in 1977. The discovery of the ring system of Uranus was only an accident when they grabbed the opportunity to observe the atmosphere of the planet using the occultation of the star SAO 158687. In their observations, they found out that the star suddenly disappeared for five ...

If we are going to search for the final answer of life, it means that we are searching for the purpose of our existence, for the meaning of life. The inquiry regarding the purpose of the life on Earth has been a central topic in our history. It is considered to be an insightful metaphysical inquiry. It is a problem that can affect everyone in upon inquiry in whichever aspect. Answers about the meaning of life can be ‘happiness’, ‘love’ or ‘to live truthfully’. However, if we are going to answer the question metaphysically, we should involve some philosophical principles. ...

Space travel involves sending manned and unmanned spacecrafts into the low orbits of the earth and space. Space travel has helped in the exploration of life on other planets such as Mars. Landing on the moon in 1968 was a major milestone in space travel which paved the way for manned space missions. This is a paper on space exploration. Special focus is given to the history, benefits, costs, and requirements for space travel. Studies in space rocket development occurred in three countries simultaneously. Three scientists championed rocket engine development and these were Konstantin Tsiolkovski of Russia, Robert Goddard of ...

In this section, the thesis statement is also given out and the materials to be used in this paper are listed. In the section of effects of pollution, the paper starts by describing the tendency of the human race of destroying the environment in the name of creating new development. In this section, the far-reaching effects of environmental destruction are listed and explained. Some of the effects that have been recorded are radiations that make the earth ...

The Copernican revolution is a paradigm shift from the Ptolemaic model of the universe that has postulated that the Earth is the center of the universe, a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center of our solar system. This event was one of the starting points of the beginning of the scientific revolution of the XVI century. Copernican theory was tantamount to a revolutionary restructuring not only in astronomy and science, but also in the methods of scientific research and knowledge. It has led to radical changes in the way of thinking of scientists, turning it from conventional and rigid dogma ...

1. How do continents grow and how are they modified Continents arise due to movement of plates causing boundaries within the earth surface. Plates move through the oceanic crust along narrow zones between each other leading to the development of plate-tectonic forces. As a result, this forces leads to development of boundaries between the plates. This plates becomes the continents. Generally, continents arise because of continental drift that forces a single land mass on the earth surface to split and drift hence forming a continent. Their modification arises due to various plate boundaries that develop within the earth surface. These boundaries ...

Zen Buddhism is a branch of Buddhism that focuses on the importance of mediation and oneness with other people and the universe. Alan Watts was partly responsible for introducing Zen Buddhism to the Western World. In this series of short talks, Watts begins by discussing how he is not a Buddhist, nor does he mean to “sell,” Buddhism to his audience. This itself is an aspect of Zen Buddhism. Unlike a few other Religions, such as Islam or Christianity, Zen Buddhism does not actively seek to gain followers.

In the segment titled, Appling, Watts expresses the idea that we call apple trees ...

Religion and science are more connected than people in general actually think they are. In the Middle Eve Galileo Galilei was accused to be a heretic because of his assertion that the earth is not the center of the universe, as it moves around the orbit of the sun (Eppur, si mueve) (Galilei in Gibbons 109), later on his heresy was proved scientifically correct. The eternal being that Clarke’s Cosmological Argument is founded on has also been explained scientifically as the Big Bang theory, the beginning of everything. From that primordial explosion star dust spread and it continues to ...

Introduction

One of the frequently asked questions in astronomy is, “are we alone in the universe?” It is hard to believe that we are alone in this universe that is home to billions of stars and innumerable planets and satellites. The astronomical community is divided into two groups in the matter of opinions on this. According to one group of astrophysicists, there are many earth-like objects existing in the universe, and it is only a matter of time before we find out our neighbors. A few astrophysicists, on the other hand, cherish the notion that life on the earth is unique ...

Life is full of surprises. By surprises I mean, both happy events and unexpected challenges and trials. Thus, as sure as the sun rises every morning, it is inevitable to view its setting late in the afternoon to bring forth the magnificence of the mysterious night. There are natural occurrences and events which could not be prevented; yet, there are also situations that are totally unplanned. The biggest truth about life is that despite its vicissitudes, people go on living to fulfill their real purpose in life – to be an instrument of positive transformation in the lives of others. ...

According to the scientists’ observations, climate fluctuations occur constantly. There are periods of cooling and warming. Some fluctuations lasted decades, others - centuries. As of now we live in the time of worming. Global climate change has become perhaps the most important environmental issues of our time. In recent years this problem has become the focus of attention of many international meetings, as it is irreversible and threatens the security of millions of people’s lives. The main cause of global warming is the greenhouse effect - a phenomenon in the Earth's atmosphere, which prevents the energy of sunlight, ...

Introduction

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the total temperature of the atmosphere of the earth. The rise in temperature is attributed to the effects of the greenhouse gases, which is caused by an increase in the levels of chlorofluorocarbons, carbon (IV) oxide and other pollutants. Global warming affects the climate system of the earth’s atmosphere by increasing both the terrestrial radiation and the radiation from the sun. The ozone is an essential element in the issue of global warming. The ozone absorbs the heat radiated from the sun and the surface of the earth, leading ...

The Sun has been with us for 4 billion years, and is the nearest star to the Earth. The Sun is comprised of about 74% of hydrogen, 25% of helium, and 1% of other elements. The surface of the Sun has a temperature of about 5800 K. The core of the Sun has a temperature ranging from 10 – 15 million Kelvin. This temperature range is high enough to activate nuclear fusion within the Sun. Here, four protons will fuse together to obtain a helium nucleus containing two protons and two neutrons via a proton-proton chain. The core of the ...

1. Meteors’ Hunting in the Antarctic Glaciers The Antarctica is a popular and unique area for finding meteors because of the extremely cold weather conditions in this area (Gonzalez). Scientists find meteorites easily in the Antarctica since the meteorites are frozen in glaciers. Moreover, these meteorites are well-preserved unlike those that fall on earth or the sea, where they are hidden among other objects. Identifying meteorites in glaciers is relatively easy. Since meteorites are dark, they are easily visible against an ice background. Moreover, many of them are preserved for years owing to the freezing temperatures of the ...

For this paper, I have researched and studied the topic of Carbon Dioxide reduction. In this paper, my effort is to look at why Carbon Dioxide is harming the climate, where is it coming from and measures that are being taken to reduce it. It was around the 19th century when climatologists discovered that our atmosphere had certain gasses that produce a “greenhouse effect” and affect earth’ temperature. The greenhouse effect, simply explained, is when gasses trap the heat in our atmosphere. This is the phenomenon that keeps the earth a warm place. Without this effect, our planet would be a very ...

What is sunlight?

The sun provides tirelessly every square meter of the earth's surface, which it attacks, with an average of about 1370 watts of power (in the form of electromagnetic radiation). We say that the sun burns, but actually it does not. Instead, the sun is a giant nuclear reactor (Layton & Freudenrich, 2000). This solar energy is called the solar constant, since it does not change, except for minor fluctuations. Solar energy is sent in the form of light waves. Light is an electromagnetic wave. The frequency of light - or how fast the waves vibrate - determines the differences in color. ...

Diamonds, they say, are a girl’s best friend. However, despite the positive press, the diamond industry has a long and torrid past that does not always live up to the romantic ideal. Today, the western world sees a diamond as a symbol of love and devotion to one’s partner. However, diamonds are neither as rare nor as valuable as many in the western world believe them to be. The existence of this disconnect is one of the most interesting and complex stories that have emerged since the Industrial revolution. Although the western world has come to know at least a little bit ...

The term ‘global warming’ is one of the most important environmental issues of the world. The later decades of the twentieth century were unusually warm. The same trend is continuing in the twenty-first century with an increase in the frequency and intensity of extremes of weather and climate. Global warming has led to an increase in the average temperature of the earth due to the emission of the carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into the earth’s atmosphere by the burning of the fossil fuels. Predictions of the future climate are uncertain, however, the current patterns of increasing temperatures ...

Sustainable Development Introduction The planet Earth is the third planet from the Sun in our solar system. By a fortuitous circumstance, it is located in the most optimal position to sustain life. It took 4 billion years for the Earth to change from a mass of gases and vapor to the present form, where land emerged and water condensed to form seas. From the basic biological forms at cellular level, plants and animals and finally Human life evolved. Human life can be traced back to the last 200,000 years of the planet’s history. Yet, in this relatively ...

Meaning is a hidden element. It is not easy to define the term accordingly. However, it is easy to understand the term from a wider perspective as defined by other people. Putnam is a renowned philosopher with wide philosophical scope. His philosophical arguments revolve around the proper definition of meaning. He argues that meaning Ain’t in the head. The phrase means that there are more attachments to meaning than what the head of an individual may comprehend. Putnam argues around concrete concepts that are useful in showing the attachment of meaning and the uniqueness of the thoughts. People had been ...

The Philipines is a country characterized by its complex cultures and influences as a result of previous colonizations. Spanish and American influences are very dominant in the Filipinos’s culture, with the country’s name itself, the Filipinas, given in honor of King Philip II of Spain in 1543 (Agoncillo 81). Its primary ancestors are the Malays from the southern Asian country which is now Indonesia. Even before the country was discovered by the Europeans, the Filipinos already had connections with the Chinese, which explains the large number of Chinese-Filipinos in the country. Years after, the Japanese, Indians, Arabians, the Muslims, ...

The year is divided into phases depending upon the weather conditions. There are three seasons in some regions and four in others. Seasons are cyclical and correspond with specific months in the year in every region. The transition from one season to another is not abrupt; one season gradually changes to another and there is some overlapping. The cycle of seasons is natural and smooth. It is the result of the earth’s distance from the sun and the tilt of the axis at twenty three and a half degrees. Two seasons are in sharp contrast to each other in ...
