Part 1: Challenges in Measurement
- Direct measurement in the field of physics refers to the process of exactly measuring the subject that the physicists is seeking to measure. However, the field of physics is challenged in making direct measurements. For instance, the key tenets of uncertainty principle makes it impossible for scientist to directly measure the wave function to be able to determine the state of a quantum system (University of Rochester, 2013). In the development of quantum systems, measuring the polarization of the sate of light was the foundation of direct measurement by determining related variables known ...

Introduction

The subject about time and how time travels is really very fascinating. What is time? What is time travel? Is time travel really possible? We naturally know what time is since we sense it every day but we cannot seem to completely define it. The question of time travel is also very hard to answer. A deeper question is to ask if time is real. Another is to know if time just moves into one direction only. Does time have a beginning or an end? Up to now, we have never truly answered these questions with great satisfaction. By merely ...

Considered the world’s most famous Scientist, Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm Southern Germany (Saw 35). His father was in the electronics industry. Despite being considered imprudent, he was naturally talented and curious and had an interest in contemporary scientific developments (Saw 35). He later on moved to Switzerland, securing a job in which he was expected to study the descriptions sent in by inventors and decide whether he inventions were new and deserved a patent. Since some of the patents were poorly written, he had to rewrite them thereby managing to acquire the knowledge and ...

Introduction

The special theory of relativity is a theory proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905 that illustrates light and matter propagation at high speeds.

Einstein’s theory is based on two main ideas:

The principle of relativity: stipulates that the law of physics is invariable for anything that is in constant motion.
The principle of speed of light: stipulates that the speed of light is also constant for any object in any point from which it is being referred. This means that it the same for various observers regardless of their movement in relation to the source of light. Einstein established this principle after noticing a rational flaw in the ...

Ludwig Boltzmann was an Australian physicist who is well known in the world of physics and Chemistry. The main fields that make him a well known person in the field of science are the molecular motion of particles in which he proposes that molecules must have thermal energy on top of other forms of energy for them to move (Klein 45). He contributed immensely in statistical mechanical physics and statistical thermodynamics.

Introduction

An atomic particle is defined as a unit of matter or energy that has been made up fundamentally of matter. There have been different theories at different times regarding the nature of this particle but in the modern day atomic theory, an atom has a nucleus in its center that is the densest part of the entire particle (NDT, 2016). This part is also the core of the particle. Inside the nucleus, there are protons and neutrons that are subatomic particles. There is a charge on each of the subatomic particles and protons are negatively charged subatomic ...

Man has always been curious and been investigating the nature of things. He has probed into the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of all phenomena observed. As science evolved, he came up with laws and equations to represent these observations. For many decades, if not centuries, he was satisfied with explaining everything around him using what is today known as ‘Classical Mechanics’. All bodies and phenomena observed could be explained by Newton’s Laws and his equations of motion. In fact this developed into the branch of Classical Mechanics and saw a huge leap in the field of Science. Be it describing ...

Introduction

The events that shape the contemporary fabric of society often seem new. The challenges and issues that the society faces today have been looked at from the perspective that they have not been experienced anywhere before. The passage of time may momentarily erase the interconnected nature of human behavior and activity, but history often becomes the constant reminder. Numerous occurrences can trace their origins and causes in history. History thus plays the crucial role of providing insights on past occurrences and their influence on the modern society. This then offers a probable channel of pursuing solutions and experience for ...

Reflection and Refraction

As air is the most essential resource for our survival, the light is the most important phenomenon for our perception. Although being a pretty complex phenomenon, the behavior of light in our everyday interactions can be simplified and approximated to the geometrical optics. In this field of physics, the light propagation is described in terms of rays. The rays come through the wave fronts (being tangent to them) and are an effective approximation because usually light moves in straight lines. The rays are linear in homogenous media; they can bend or be curved if the refractive index of the ...

If someone has made an invention to make life easier or to alleviate one’s living condition then the security of the patent for that invention is needed. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, a patent is an exclusive right of a person for producing something that offers a new solution to a problem. Furthermore, a patent provides the maker with protection for their invention, and this protection usually lasts for 20 years. One privilege of a person who has a patented invention is that the invention cannot be sold, distributed, used or commercially made without the inventor’s consent. This right is usually enforced ...

Introduction

A black hole is a region in space-time, the gravitational attraction which is so large that it can not leave even objects moving at the speed of light, including photons of light itself. The boundary of this region is called the event horizon, and its characteristic dimension - the gravitational radius. In the simplest case of a spherically symmetric black hole Schwarzschild radius is equal to it.
Theoretically, the possible existence of such regions of space-time should be of some exact solutions of Einstein's equations, the first of which was obtained by Karl Schwarzschild in 1915. The exact inventor of ...

During the early years of the 14th century, most of the western civilizations are active in spreading their Christian faith. They have travel half way across the globe in order to fulfill their religious duties as well as expand their political territories. Religion has been powerful during this time and anyone who opposes their beliefs is commonly punished (Henry 3). However, there are also some who are taking the odds against religion and looking up into the sky for answers about the cosmos and other realities of life. These people are the creators and initiators of the modern science ...

In the history of one’s adolescence, there is probably no more complicated and demanding question than the one about one’s choice of profession and career plans. Parents ask their children from an early age, what they would like to do and whom they would to be when they grow up. Usually, parents are trying to prepare children for what they think would be the best for them. It does not mean that parents do not want their children to follow their dreams; they just try to adjust children’s dreams to the limitations of reality – competitive nature ...

Introduction to gamma-ray bursts

The universe is made up of many objects some of which scientists have managed to discover while others are yet to be discovered. Gamma-ray bursts form the highest and most complicated cosmic events present in the universe. These are high-energy explosions discovered during the cold war by astronomers. The discovery was made after the United States suspected the soviets could test nuclear weapons in space. They installed satellites in the space that detected gamma-ray flashes. It was until 1997 when astronomers discovered that gamma-ray bursts are caused by explosions of young energetic stars found in the distant galaxies. These ...

Introduction

The Effects of Scientific Revolution on Religion has been a very critical topic in such fields as history, philosophy and other social sciences. The scientific revolution, arguably one of the most important developments in human history is a movement that substantially shook the foundations of religion (Wolfe & Wolfe, 2011). The primary purpose of this topic, is to narrow down the broad topic of the effects of scientific revolution in such a manner that such effects are viewed from the perspective of the medieval religious structures, and not from the eye of the entire humanity. I chose to discuss this topic because it ...

The scientific revolution of the 17th century is strongly associated with the name of a genius scholar Isaak Newton. His contribution to the world’s scientific thought can hardly be overestimated.
Born in 1642 on the Christmas night in Woolsthhorpe, which is situated in Lincolnshire, England, the child was destined to change the world and become the culminating figure in the revolution of scientific knowledge. A genius as he was, Isaak Newton left his legacy in every fundamental area of that time science: mathematics, mechanics, optics and astronomy.

Thermodynamics of Refrigeration

In the olden days winter was the best time of the year for cold drinks, sorbets and ice creams because ice was readily available. Without a thorough understanding of thermodynamics our communities might have to be brought their ice in an ice wagon just like in the olden days. The laws of thermodynamics were developed by scientists and used when processes of the Industrial Revolution were developed. The physics of heat transfer are applied in order to transfer heat away from the portion of a refrigerator or air conditioning that needs to continually cool the air. Now the ...

Abstract

The growing demand for the competitive specialists justifies the particular attention and concern to the Malaysian students’ reading comprehension skills from the Malaysian authorities. The introduction of teaching the Malaysian core school subjects in the English language (Yassin et al., 2009) provided the continual attempts and experiments to define the most efficient way to decrease achievement gaps in the reading of Malaysian pupils.
Starting from the 5th grade, students extend their vocabulary through reading (Zubairi & Sarudin, 2009). The following research proposes the method of using “Reading Cues’ as scaffolding answering the closed or WH-questions to improve the performance of ...

Throughout history, there have been many great thinkers. They have sprawled among many disciplines, from philosophy to physics. Nevertheless, some of these have made important contributions to many fields at the same time. One of these cases is that of Blaise Pascal, who was deeply influential in mathematics, philosophy and theology.
In a sense, one could say that these three disciplines were intertwined in his work. By studying the loftier aspects of the human experience, Pascal was able to bring together probability theory and his worries about the existence of God. As such, his notorious wager was a turning ...

Introduction

Our galaxy, the star system of our solar system, is called the Milky Way. The Milky Way is a grand cluster of stars visible in the sky as a bright band of fog. In the ancient Greek, the word "galaktikos" means "milk", "milky", so the Milky Way and stellar systems similar to it are called galaxies. In our galaxy, there are more than 200 billion stars of very different luminosity and color ("The Milky Way Galaxy - 200 billion stars", 2016).
The Solar neighborhood is the volume of the galaxy, where we can observe and study the stars of ...

Born in Montpellier, Compte saw the way of the society was organised during his time and developed interested in knowing the relationship between the society and its laws. In the University of Montpellier, he became much preoccupied with the issues around the French revolution. He was loaded with the imaginations about a society that could become so powerful to overthrow a powerful dynasty. He later dropped out of school and started studying on his own. His main argument was that physical sciences like mathematics and physics must incorporate other antidotes that use ...

Does inquiry based learning increase academic student performance for high school Latino/Latin ESOL students?

Introduction
Effective content delivery by teachers often requires that they research, adopt and implement the most suited techniques that will be easily understood by most students. Among the most common teaching and methodology techniques is the inquiry based learning which has been found to have tremendous positive impact on students performance regardless of the subject taught. Inquiry based learning is thus defined as a teaching and learning approach in which the learners begin by having a set of questions or scenarios and develop on the same, thereby intuitively establishing findings rather than situations where the instructor presents established facts ...

Many people often find it hard to choose the major they want to pursue in college and thus the career that they want to be part of in the future. Ultimately, choosing a major and thus a career can be the determinant of or the difference between being disappointed for the rest of one’s life or being satisfied with the path of life chosen (Anderson & Gilbride, 2003). The process of choosing a career is often influenced by several factors. Regardless of the varying nature of these factors, the ultimate factor that should decide one’s career is passion. ...

Sex-segregated schools have gained interest in recent times due to the underachievement of many students. Educators nowadays are concerned about the issue of how to reform and organize the modern system of education in the USA in order it to work more efficiently. Many researchers posit that single-sex classes may have a positive effect on both males and females educational performances. The question whether girls and boys should be taught separately is quite ambiguous, meanwhile, the number of sex-segregated classes in the schools of the United States continues to grow. With the rapid spread of this educational practice, the issue ...

Executive Summary

Saddle point approximation implementation and derivations have typically relied on tools such as Edgeworth expansions, exponential tilting, complex integration, Hermite polynomials, and other advanced notions. Saddle point approximations are very important tools used in obtaining accurate expressions for distribution functions and densities. It has been a very valuable tool in asymptotic analysis. Since the seminal paper by Daniels (1954), several techniques of accurate approximations that rely on the saddle point approximation on one way or another have been developed. The saddle point approximations, however, derived its concept from the game theory, which involved two suspected criminals under police investigations. The ...

Introduction

Parents are dissatisfied with the current system of school education because parents argue that girls suffer from the aggressive behavior of children of the opposite sex. Therefore, from the end of the last century, some schools were experiencing the diversion to separate education classes for boys and girls. In this case, they held lessons separately, but extra-curricular activities and the holidays together; however, there is no complete separation, but separation only during lessons. Scale introduction of single sex classroom is striking in many countries around the world, and there are "experimental" classes. The experiments conducted under the supervision of ...

I. Introduction
In this research paper, the relationship between science and religion is examined in terms of the potential for a harmonious coexistence. This is an old debate and currently it is a vitally significant one. The view of science and religion as warring enemies has historic roots. The Catholic Inquisition was known to persecute and execute people considered heretics because of their belief in science and scientific things. The Church found science as an explanation offensive. Galileo Galilei is one of the most well known of the victims of the Inquisition. He was imprisoned and forced to do penance ...

There are a number of specifically dedicated bioinformatics problem-solving tools and successful applications. However, despite the many existing applications, bioinformatics is still considered as a science in its infancy, and the process of massive integrating it ...

The story The Relieve Box does not only talk about one’s addiction over technology but one’s attempt to escape reality for the purpose of running away from problems and the chaos around them (Boyle). Too often, people get preoccupied over the things that they do that they start to neglect the responsibilities that they have. The characters of the story allow themselves to be drawn into something in order to divert their attention from feeling pain, frustration, regret and disappointment (Nahin). Often, they do this to delay any possibilities there is to be responsible and to accountability ...

A photon is particle characterizing a quantum of light or any other electromagnetic radiation. Generally, the term photon is used to illustrate the whole electromagnetic spectrum. It seems like a point-like particle because it is absorbed or released as a whole by arbitrary minute systems which are much smaller than its wavelength. Photons exhibit wave-particle duality i.e. displaying properties of both waves and particles though this is difficult to visualize without laboratory equipment. They display clearly wave-like phenomena like diffraction and interference on the length scale of its wavelength. In the same way as all elementary particles, photons are presently explained by ...
