hen we mention the name Carl Sagan, some of us born in the 20th century remember the television se-ries Cosmos: A Personal Voyage which was originally aired in 1980 on PBS (Public Broadcast Station). With the Carl Sagan as our guide we would begin to explore the universe that we lived. But who was Carl Sagan, was he an astrophysicist, astronomer, scientist, publicity hound? Carl Edward Sagan was born on November 9th 1934, to Samuel Ragan a Russian migrant garment worker and Rachel Molly Gruber a

In the film, Into the Universe, by Stephen Hawking, the controversial topic of how the universe was created is discussed. The relationship between gravity and matter played an influential role in the universe’s creation. The Big Bang theory is further introduced in the film and explains how our universe was formed. Hawking goes on to say the universe is “celestial engineering on a spectacular scale”, meaning the universe’s perplex blueprint is astonishing beyond measures. We are furthermore drawn

The Standard Model is a theory that hypothesises what happened during the first instances of the universe after the big bang and how all of the matter in the universe was formed. It is currently a complete theory of what we observe in nature aside from incorporating gravity. "In the course of the past few decades, the Standard Model has passed critical tests derived from experiment, but it does not address some profound questions about the nature of the Universe," (AFP, 2015) This quote was taken

Spacetime. Gravitational singularities. Black hole radiation. Extraterrestrial intelligence. The origin of our universe. All of these areas of research belong to cosmology, a field pioneered by the renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking. Today we pay tribute to his life, his achievements, and the lasting impact he has had on the world. Born on January 8th, 1942, a date which happened to coincide with the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death, Hawking was one of the most intelligent, prestigious

The Universe Explained In the nonfiction novel "The Universe in a Nutshell" by Stephen Hawking explains how the world is larger and more into depth than it actually seems due to quantum gravity. Quantum gravity is a theory produced by Einstein that explains gravitational physics and how it affects us. The world will keep expanding and produce many mysteries since scientists are coming up with theories that seem predictable. This novel informs the audience about how physics contributes to quantum

When growing up there were things in life that consistently fascinated me. Things like DNA strands, what elements consist the core of the sun, and what lies at the end of the universe? The one question that I couldn’t wrap around my brain was ,what is a black hole? I asked my grandparents and they gave me a story thinking I didn't know the difference between fact or fiction. Once I got into college, I was excited thinking I was finally going to get the answer I've been seeking my whole life. Now

Today, about 70% of the earth is covered with water, and that is because of the evolution of the ocean system. Before that happened however, our solar system was created. One of the persisting theories when it comes to the creation of our solar system is the Big Bang Theory. This theory basically states that “12 to 14 billion years ago, the portion of the universe we can see today was only a few millimeters across. It has since expanded from this hot dense state into the vast and much cooler cosmos

Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that employs the principles of physics and chemistry to ascertain the nature of the heavenly bodies, rather than their positions or motions in space. A few of the objects studied are the Sun, other stars, galaxies, extrasolar planets, the interstellar medium and the cosmic microwave background. The study of our very own Sun has a special place in observational astrophysics. Due to the tremendous distance of all other stars, the Sun can be observed in a kind

Do you agree?- A discussion with detailed reference to at least two examples of my research done in schools that I have been studying. Research as the name suggests, means that re- searching. It denotes the process of searching for something whose search has already been

Craig Kalucki Comparitive Religion Tues 4-6:50 String theory and Universal Theories If we can take a looks garment from a sweater, and pull one string such as in a cartoon, the sweater will untangle leaving a pile of string on the floor. Basically what this implies is we break down something in its simplest form, and all we have left are tiny bits of string, which is basically similar to “String Theory”. string theory uses a model of one-dimensional strings in place of the particles
