A black hole is a terrifying thing, it is dark and empty and some would say it is the essence of nothing. If a person desires to understand a black hole, their best bet to finding its meaning would be to first understand the purpose of nothing. In the dictionary nothing is defined in six ways; one is the state of being nothing, two is nonexistence, three is lack of being, four is death, five is utter insignificance, and six is something without value. The primary point of these definitions is to show the complex and numerous ways nothing can be defined. These definitions also show the negative force that surrounds nothing which seems to highlight its hidden evil and reveals the looming cast over it much like a black hole. In this sense it seems that whatever creation, God constructs, nothing much like a black hole is close behind to take the light away from it. Nothing, therefore is the substance that makes up the sins of humans, and the substance responsible for corrupting the soul. It is a remarkable coincidence that two philosophers were able to stumble upon the same conclusion, that nothing and God were central to the spiritual and physical anatomy of the human being. Leibniz and Descartes see nothing as its numerous definitions suggest, except with a twist. To them, nothing represents the faults, sins, and evil nature of human beings. However, even though both Leibniz and Descartes see nothing as a key part to a human’s makeup, they hold different views as to how
Logan has been fairly distant since the incident with Spencer. He kept saying that they should give up -- that there’s no use in finding the last one if Spencer has decided against joining them.
The teens who occupy Charles Burns's graphic novel Black Hole are ill with what seem to be a sexually-transmitted disease that the teens identify as "the bug," an increasing number of teens become infected and reside with a group of teenagers that live in separate from their families and individuals uninfected remain students at their high school in uptown Seattle. The ill teens dwell in a tent village concealed in the outskirts of their community, in the forest and they manage to survive largely on the trash and infrequent aid of the well teens. The sickness marks each teen in varying degrees; many seem grotesque while others physical manifestations are subtle, as a result the ill are alienated and rejected by the community because of
In most philosophy and in modern science, there exists the idea that there is no such thing as “nothing”. Modern science cannot explain the existence of anything before or after the physical universe, although proving that there was a time when the universe did not exist (about 13.7 billion years ago). The All, in the Hermetic tradition, is the title given to that “nothing”. The All is everything that was, and everything that will be – it cannot grow because it is already everything, and cannot be lessened because that would imply something reaching beyond The All. Now, back to the cave. To understand the origin of our universe, one needs to grasp what I learned from Plato’s cave; that all things have a substantial reality. That being the case, it is only fair that the universe should have a substantial reality
Generally, a pool party is a time for fun, the beginning of summer and the end of the school year; however that is not what happened in McKinney TX. The pool party was planned by a mother for her daughter at the community pool. Soon the teens party had reached maximum compositity and teenagers being teenagers cause concerns with the guest at the pool, who responded to the kids negatively with “racial slurs” (Walton). Soon the cops were called give a statement about “unruly” black teenagers fighting. Consequently when the police arrived having been given the information of “unruly” black kids fighting, they were geared for some sort of confrontation (Walton). The cops pulled their guns and pointed them at these kids that were in their swim
He was creating the picture of us, the human race, destroying everything we know to be true and questioning our actions. He gives us a taste of a possible future, but leaving it up to the reader to decide on what the truth is versus the lies put into people’s heads. The narrators struggle with his delusions, this radiation induced fever, gives the reader the eyes to see through a negligible human that represents us. He asks the questions of our significance, our actions, our minuscule lives that many put a front over, just like the narrator does with his lies. His mortality is represented through his false memories, through the title, his singularity and his delusions in his own Immortality. In reality, he is just suffering like the rest of the world he looked down upon in his fever dreams, his is not immortal, not cosmic, but a simple human suffering from human
Charles Burns’ Black Hole is a disturbing graphic novel written and drawn in black and white. Burns uses the black and white drawings to portray a sense of mystery in the story and also to show the nocturnal aspect of the book. Also, the few scenes during the day in the story give it a bright and loving aspect. Overall, the black and white scenes give the reader a feeling of depression and anxiety, whereas the daytime scenes are a break in the horrifying and give a sense of love. One of the first observations made when reading Black Hole is that the story is written in black and white.
This darkness is called chaos in the Greek mythology. All things began from this chaos. From chaos originated the earth which was called Gaea, Eros which was a symbol of love, and underworld which was named as Tartarus. In The Bible, god had commanded the creation of things and it was done accordingly. In the Greek mythology, different gods are given the credits for the creation of different things but in The Bible the whole credit of making everything is given to one supreme
Chris raised his glass high in the air, sloshing a little bit down his arm. Dan chuckled as he raised his as well, along with Louise, Cat, and PJ.
The Black Body The black body. what does it mean? What does it represent? Is the black body as a symbol or a message?
The movie ‘’ black mass’’ is an action crime movie based on true story about Whitey Bulger, a drug dealer at the southern area of Boston. Whitey Bulger is the tangled criminal of the history of Boston. He was once sentenced to Alcatraz, but then released. When he came out of the prison, he formed a small gang called it the winter hill mafia. He wasn’t satisfied with just being small and in charge of drug dealing and organized crime in a small part of the city. He wanted to control the whole city. Soon he met one of his childhood friends who was an FBI agent, with whom they made a deal to give him immunity in exchange for information about the Italian mafia in the city. For him this was a win-win situation where he got the FBI to fight his enemies and protect him while he running his gang. After the mafia leaders were taken down, he was in control of the whole city and his crimes increased. A new FBI agent was hired to investigate Whitey Bulger. He found out about all of his crimes, his cooperation with the IRA and his murders. Soon he was ordered to the jail. Everyone was caught and sentenced by the FBI except him as he escaped for 12 years before he was finally caught. His brother was the mayor of Boston. He was not aware of his brother’s business and soon after Whitey Bulger was ordered to be caught, he resigned as the mayor.
In the beginning there was nothing, except God. God made everything out of nothing. He made the heavens, earth, and all things. It took him 6 days and on the seventh day he rested.
"Please, don't do anything stupid. Just forget everything I said because you are the most important thing in the world to Shay and I know that he would never get better if something happened to you." Bender mumbled and cupped my face in his hands. I nodded, but didn't say anything.
Jean Paul Sartre's Existential philosophy posits that is in man, and in man alone, that existence precedes essence. Simply put, Sartre means that man is first, and only subsequently to his “isness” does he become this or that. The implication in Sartre's philosophy is that man must create his own essence: it is in being thrown into the world through consciounsess intent, loving, struggling, experiencing and being in the world that man is alllowed to define itself. Yet, the definition always remains open ended: we cannot say that a human is definitively this or that before its death and indeed, it is the ultimate nothingness of death that being is defined. The concepts that Sartre examines in Being and Nothingness
I have always had an interest in science, especially in the sciences regarding outer space. When I was younger I was always fascinated with rockets, and especially in stars. I have often regretted not pursuing this interest at its infancy. I do remember going to the Planetarium, and studying about a topic that I had seen talked about on television. The topic was black holes, and back then all that they knew was that they were black. The idea of a space in the universe that is completely void of light was difficult to imagine. Recently, I have learned more about this topic and a science call cosmology. I had never even heard of this field of science before I was introduced to a scientist by the name of
Sartre’s Being and Nothingness is a Phenomenological Ontology. Ontology means the study of being; and phenomenological relates to perceptual consciousness (in short it takes human conscious experience as its subject, and its point of departure). Its descriptive method moves from the most abstract to the highly material. It starts by analysing two different and complex categories or kinds of being: the “in-itself” and the “for-itself”, or more
