A crumple zone is a very important part of a car. Without crumple zones there would be a higher risk of someone dying or getting seriously hurt when involved in a car accident. Before this term I didn’t have a great knowledge on how important crumple zones actually were, how they worked or the different types.

Through wonder and complicated thinking Einstein gave a strong argument on how space and time could be curved. By Einstein creating this theory he completely altered the way we could think of space and time. Einstein pictured space as a three-dimensional version of a thin rubber sheet. If you put a heavy object on the sheet, it makes a dent, and therefore an object's path would be affected by that dent. So, planets orbit the sun because “the space around the sun is curved in the 2-D equivalent of a funnel or basin”.( http://burro.astr.cwru.edu/stu/20th_people_einstein.html) “The curvature of space results in the effects of gravity. This notion of curved space becomes more tangible . . . occurs because its curvature of space”. (http://www.fi.edu/learn/case files/einstein/curved.html) Einstein introduced this special theory of relativity because it dealt only with the special case of motion in frames of reference that are neither increasing nor decreasing to the viewer. In other words, “the frames of the reference are . . . a consistent speed in a straight line”. (Jake Goldberg pg.47) Einstein also changed how we now think about gravity itself! He came up with his own theory of gravity as well, called Equivalence Principle. “Einstein said that when he was sitting in a chair in the patent office at Bern when all of a sudden a thought occurred to me: 'If a person falls freely he will not feel his own weight.' I was

Columbus’ postulation that the world was not flat because any educated person in that time new that the world was round.

The Law of ellipses, which means that each planet travels around the sun in an ellipses.

We have learned in basic K-12 schooling that the Earth is spherical in shape. The earliest recording of this concept was c. 6th century BCE in ancient

It was to be that educated Europeans already believed that the world was round even before Columbus made the statement that the world was round. It was the Idea that the Greeks in the 5th century BC already came up with the myth that the world was round. Most believed that the world was flat and you could sail right off the earth. These people thought this because the maps that they used to navigate where a world that was flat and this is why they thought this. But studies identified the world as in a sphere but no christopher columbus was not the first to have estimated that the world is a

Ancient cultures did not believe the Earth to be the spherical object we know Earth to be

Butlers Flat is a lighthouse located in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It made of brick and cast iron, stands at 53 feet tall and was built in 1898 to replace the former lighthouse, Clark’s Point Light. Butlers Flat is currently about 119 years old. Curiously, even though it was built 1898, it wasn’t lit until 1942, 44 years after it was constructed. The lighthouse was operated by Captain Amos Baker Jr. and his son, Charles until 1911, when Amos Baker died. The lighthouse was operated by Charles Baker until his retirement in 1941.Volunteers help to keep the historic lighthouse in working order, and it is still a navigational aid.“An iron cylinder 35 feet in diameter was put into place after five feet of mud was dredged. The cylinder was filled

In the early medieval period, the masses believed that earth was at the center of the universe and everything revolved around it. “...the judgement of many centuries has approved the view that the Earth remains fixed as center in the midst of the heavens…” Nicolaus Copernicus thought that this idea was absurd and continued to explain that the Earth actually moves. He was afraid to even discuss the idea as anyone during the period would just reject it immediately. The Earth being flat was in part influenced by religion and by writing his theories, he was almost apologetic for suggesting the heavens were different from what almost all people believed. “...that the earth is situated in the third sphere and revolves with great speed around the sun, is a very dangerous thing, not only by irritating all the philosophers and scholastic theologians, but also injuring our holy faith and rendering the Holy Scriptures false.” The change in culture was seen as a danger to religion as the new ideas went against a lot of factors in religion. The strict religious ideas caused almost a cultural revolt for new ideas. But because religion was being changed radically, it left room for new ideas like this to start spreading to the

Looking through the theme of Development Issues of women and health on women’s health, specifically empowerment of women and improving maternal health, I focus on the mothers2mothers organization. These constraints are being limited for the sake of this paper to the stigma of HIV positive mothers and the discriminatory medical services that are then placed on HIV positive mothers in South Africa. This raises the problem of mothers identifying as HIV positive in South Africa as they are then being stigmatized, therefore I will be asking, how does the organization takes steps in order to help protect the women from stigmitation as they are in the prevent[ion] mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program? Analyzing the constraints of participation of HIV positive mothers leads to the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS infection, the lack of women’s empowerment, and the deficiency of appropriate and culturally sensitive clinical support services, even in facilities providing PMTCT services, means that many women go through their ordeal alone, confused and afraid.

I thought that I was gonna be the next Einstein. I was going to disprove everything that humanity knows about science.However, this all changed when my family and I flew across the Pacific Ocean to visit family in Vietnam. Once we got there I wondered how we could cross the Pacific if the world ends right there. Soon after, I went on the internet and searched up if the Earth is flat and the overwhelming answer surprised me. Other than a few websites such as The Flat Earth Society wiki which gave many outlandish explanation for their point of view, most of the websites revealed to me that contrary to my belief , the Earth was not actually flat, but rather round. Even still, I was not convinced as I still believed that everything should be sliding if the Earth was round. However, after researching more about this topic, I learning about how friction is the reason why everything stays in place, and thus, I finally understood why everyone thought the Earth was round.

Over a long period of time, there has been a large variety of forms of "new" technology to help researching and their findings. Although technology such as dreage pumps and mailbox sysetemsin ship wrecks, and dropsondes in trying to detect hurricanes might get the job done there are several more advanced options to go with such as satelite imaging. Satelite imaging has proven to be more advanced and helpful, to researchers than other methods to help their findings and results.

In 1543 Nicholas Copernicus, a Polish Canon, published “On the Revolution of the Celestial Orbs”. The popular view is that Copernicus discovered that the earth revolves

A century after Aristotle, around 250BC, another Greek mathematician and philosopher named Eratosthenes made his claim to fame with a new alleged proof of a spherical Earth. Eratosthenes noted that at noon, during the summer solstice at Syene, the sun cast no shadows and the rays could reach straight to the bottom of his well, yet meanwhile in Alexandria, a vertically standing metal rod cast a significant shadow, by factoring the length of the shadow with his assumed distance to the sun, Eratosthenes recorded a measurement of Earth’s circumference close to what heliocentrist astronomers use today. The fact of the matter is Eratosthenes’ calculations were made assuming the sun to be millions of kilometers away so that its rays would fall perfectly

A YouTube video published by YouTube user Jeranism calls out government and NASA. The video also questions the Earth as a flat surface, rather than a spherical globe as we all have been taught since childhood. The YouTube video also shows ISS live feed from NASA, as well as pre-packaged videos released by NASA and the government. Jeranism claims that the Earth is flat, and anyone who sides with those beliefs either works for the CIA or is paid by some other association with an alternative agenda. Is the Earth actually flat? Could the spherical globe we all spun in classrooms be the biggest sham ever? Probably not, but the video brings up a few interesting questions.
