Compare And Contrast Black Box And Rutherford's Golden Foil Experiment

The black box represents virtually the only part of the original ritual that has been preserved since the lottery began. It is there not only to hold the papers that will be drawn, but also to represent to

Introduction: Accuracy and precision were the major aspects of the lab. Accuracy is how close the average of the measured values are to the actual value. Precision is the closeness of repeated measurements. In the lab, the aim was to get as close as possible with both accuracy and precision when determining the mass and volume of the spheres. The mass was determined by weighing the spheres on the Analytical Scale and Triple Beam Balance Scale. The volume is determined by measuring with a ruler and by water displacement. The standard

Enforced on January 17th, 1920, and furthermore repealed on December 5th, 1933, prohibition was a period of time ushered in American history that restricted the manufacture, transportation, and distribution of intoxicating liquors.

The Philadelphia Experiment during World War II to believers is a highly technical experiment that took place in the Philadelphia Navy yard in 1943. This experiment was also called, Project Rainbow, and is said to consist of the U.S. Navy destroyer called the USS Eldridge being made invisible then teleported to Norfolk Docks four hundred miles away then teleported back. This theory also supports the idea that when the ship got back to Philadelphia there were fatal consequences for the crew on deck. This was in attempts to counteract German u-boats as they had a major advantage over U.S. warships the warships are slow and have large turning radius. A man by the name of Morris Ketchum Jessup received notes from Carlos Allende (Carl Allen) in a copy of Jessup’s book, The Case for the UFO. These notes outlined what Allende thought of Jessup’s ideas in the book, Allende actual disproved one idea, but this sparked Jessup’s attention. Soon Jessup moved on to researching Einstein's unified field theory, he published this research. Allende soon responded in a series letters to Jessup describing the Philadelphia Experiment in much detail. This lead Jessup to research further into this possibility, obtaining more and more information Jessup was very close to a breakthrough. While Jessup’s and Allende’s agreement has some backing, it is a far-out view that is hard to believe as there is evidence to rebuttal the points made. The other side of the story is backed by the United

The so-called Philadelphia Experiment was an alleged experiment by US Navy occurs in 1943. Some claims that the experiment is to make the USS Eldridge invisible to the enemy. Unfortunately, what happened next is that the ship becomes invisible for ten seconds. It was speculated that the ship, including the crew, traveled to another timeline. Although this was refuted by the US Navy and claiming that this is just a hoax, many are still skeptical about it.

The Philadelphia experiment was an experiment conducted by the U.S navy in 1943 that caused an event that transported a man through time, but was it real? People at that time thought it was just a hoax; many movies and documentaries were made to explain different theories and thoughts brought up by scientists but the videos received many negative reviews because the stories were too impossible to believe. What actually happened in the Philadelphia Experiment has highly been exaggerated and morphed into a way to convince the people of other nations that the U.S Navy accidentally invented teleportation. The Philadelphia experiment accident isn’t real because it’s implausible, and has too many elements that are extremely hard to believe.

Imagine a future more advanced than the time we live in. A future filled with inventions we can only imagine, a future where a single thought can takes us across the world in a matter of seconds. Redundant to the sentence above it. Can you imagine a future where militaries can cloak their ships making it invisible to the human eye? Is this an interesting future? Carlos Meredith Allen or Allende, was born on May 31, 1925; in Springdale Pennsylvania to an English father and a French mother. Growing up, Allende display signs of brilliance in school but never uses his brilliance to his advantage. Allende then grew up, and claimed that the U.S. Navy hid facts about their Philadelphia Experiment. On the other hand, the U.S. Navy said they never conducted a Philadelphia Experiment and Allende was only trying to start a conspiracy. Allende may be telling the truth about the navy hiding facts about the Philadelphia Experiment, or the U.S. truly did not conduct the experiment and Allende is trying to create a conspiracy. With Allende’s unrealistic story and as the only person to come out about the Philadelphia experiment, he is most likely trying to create a conspiracy. Also there is no evidence that the Navy conducted a Philadelphia Experiment. With no evidence,

The Little Albert experiment has become a famous case study that has been discussed by a plethora of professionals in the psychology industry. In 1920, behaviorist John Watson and his assistant Rosalie Rayner began to conduct the first experiment that had been done with a child. Watson and Rayner chose Albert because they thought he was stable; he was accustomed to a hospital environment due to his mother’s career as a wet nurse, he was healthy and showed little emotion. Stability played a major factor in choosing Albert for this case study because Watson wanted to ensure that they would do as little harm as possible with the experiment. The conditioning of Albert began with a series of emotional tests that became part of a routine in which Watson and Rayner were “determining whether fear reactions could be called out by other stimuli than sharp noises and the sudden removal of support” (-----). Watson’s method of choice for this experiment was using principles of classic conditioning to create a stimulus in children that would result in fear. Since Watson wanted to condition Albert, he used a variety of objects that would otherwise not scare him. These objects included white rat, dog, blocks, rabbit, fur coat, wool and a Santa Claus mask.

Stanley Milgram conducted one of the most controversial psychological experiments of all time: the Milgram Experiment. Milgram was born in a New York hospital to parents that immigrated from Germany. The Holocaust sparked his interest for most of his young life because as he stated, he should have been born into a “German-speaking Jewish community” and “died in a gas chamber.” Milgram soon realized that the only way the “inhumane policies” of the Holocaust could occur, was if a large amount of people “obeyed orders” (Romm, 2015). This influenced the hypothesis of the experiment. How much pain would someone be willing to inflict on another just because an authority figure urged them to do so? The experiment involved a teacher who would ask questions to a concealed learner and a shock system. If the learner answered incorrectly, he would receive a shock. Milgram conducted the experiment many times over the course of 2 years, but the most well-known trial included 65% of participants who were willing to continue until they reached the fatal shock of 450 volts (Romm, 2015). The results of his experiment were so shocking that many people called Milgram’s experiment “unethical.”

It is one of the oldest unanswered questions in all of science. Though slightly more grounded in empirical science than the likes of "Where did we come from?" or "Why are we here?" the impossible Nature/Nurture dichotomy has tormented truth-bound scientists for years. Recent advances in genetics have brought forward new possibilities for those who would study the pure effects of environmental variables on animals, but we are far from allowing ourselves to manipulate other human beings in such ways for the sake of collecting data. This strong moral stance does not diminish our curiosity and so the question must be asked: What would we do if a case in which the human had already been

Both Albert Einstein and Ernest Rutherford helped pave the way for countries to invent the nuclear weapon. Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity and Rutherford’s discovery of the atomic nucleus all helped the United States to invent the bomb. In the book by Andrew Futter, the United States began their experimenting on nuclear weapons with the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project- so called because the initial headquarters were on the Manhattan district of New York City- began in 1942 with the sole purpose of creating an atomic bomb before Nazi Germany. (Futter 17) Work on the project was spread out all over the country; the main research center would be located at Los Alamos in the New Mexico desert. There were two lines of research,

In this experiment, you will have a chance to test the hypothesis that Ernest Rutherford used when determining the size of the nucleus. In his "gold foil experiment," Rutherford shot alpha particles at gold atoms. Once he realized that the alpha particles were hitting a concentrated positive mass, he developed the nuclear model of the atom. Next, he set out to determine the relative size of the nucleus compared to the rest of the atom. He reasoned that the smaller the nucleus, the less likely it was to be hit by an alpha particle. This led to a simple comparative ratio:

After that theory scientists started Wondering about this theory and a lot of Scientists made up Models and conducted Experiments to Explain this Theory. In this report we will put our self’s inside Each scientist’s Shoe and see What has he discovered.

The black box resembled a good tradition to the story on how people are chosen for nomination. The black box seems similar to the power ball where someone picks a number and hoping their number is picked. Except in this lottery it is based upon your name being drawn which prepares for a different outcome. An outcome that was earlier mentioned of being killed. Adults were ones who were chosen in the lottery, but only after they had taught their children everything that they would need to know in life.
