Freshman Research Symposium

I am writing to you in support Jacelyn Omusi and her desire to pursue and develop her research ambitions in The Leadership Alliance’s Summer Research Early Identification Program. As the Director of Academic and Research Programs and the McNair Research Scholars Program at the Academic Advancement Program at the University of California, Los Angeles, I work with many students who possess interest in research and desire to attend graduate school to obtain their PhD. Jacelyn, however, has displayed recognizable fiery passion and immense potential in her research interests, thereby motivating me to recommend her for your program.

This paper will introduce you to the incredible topic which is black holes. A black hole is a region of space time exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing can escape from inside it. (NASA) No human has ever entered a black hole and there is still a large mystery about them; we have very little idea of where the matter that enters them goes. A black hole cannot be looked into either, as it sucks all the light into the middle of it. Space programs use special satellites with certain features that allow them to see these black holes. A black hole can be big or small, sometimes forming when a star is dying. Some scientists speculate that there can be black holes just 1 centimeter large. There are multiple types of

For years I have shown a passion for physics and I aspire to read it at a deeper level because of its many phenomena and applications, and the need for skilled physicists in the world, as without them, civilisation would struggle to thrive. The thought process and unique perceptions that physicists have are key in driving businesses and other innovations. Furthermore, society is hugely reliant on technology, resulting in physicists becoming increasingly important to both maintaining and creating new technological ideas. For example my work experience at Sky allowed me to see how the approach that the physicists there took enabled them to be very successful in their line of work. More importantly however, the beauty of physics is found on an intrinsic level which allows us to understand the universe we live in. For thousands of years, religious beliefs dominated explanations for important ideas such as how the universe was created, the afterlife, and of course the question of a deity. Religion shaped society for many years, but the intervention of physics has bravely challenged these once readily accepted views, creating a society that consists of

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is an exceptionally qualified individual to address the issues brought up over the course of the book. He received his bachelor’s degree in physics from Harvard University in 1980, master’s degree in astronomy from the University of Texas at Austin in 1983, and master’s and doctorate’s degrees in astrophysics from Columbia University in 1989 and 1994 respectively. Tyson has been the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space since 1996, as well as a research associate for the American Museum

During my college career, I sought opportunities that allowed me to expand my thinking to encompass ideas outside of the core sciences. As an Anthropology Minor and an active member of cultural organizations on campus, I developed a perspective that sees the world as interconnected rather than as separate entities. I enjoyed being in a learning environment that allowed me to work with individuals of similar interests as me, but with diverse perspectives and experiences. The Scholarly Concentration program will allow me to continue pursuing my interest in cultural anthropology, while incorporating that into an intense science curriculum. The concentrations that I am most interested in are Health Disparities, International Medicine, and Public

Not only that, but a lot of the science were correctly given correlating to Newton’s Laws and Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. The The visualization of Gargantua revealed that black holes’ "accretion disks" of infalling material were twisted into intricate and unique shapes — a find that had quite an effect on Kip Thorne.

but today I’m going to talk about the actual science behind black holes, how are they made, whats inside of them, and what would happen if you went inside of one?

When this news came to light yesterday, little did everyone know that the news was already available for scientists to peruse in two journals released in June: The Astrophysical Journal and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. All the scientific detail can be found in the study for later reading.

Student-Led Conferences (SLC’s); the controversial new strategy implemented at cross this year. It is designed to be a three way conversation between a student, their guardian, and an advisor. The purpose is to facilitate healthy conversations between the guardian and the student so that the student can elaborate on their performance in a controlled setting. The advisor acts as a mediator who translates the opposite views. For example, the advisor can help the parent understand that a certain test can be redone and the grade will go up after that is taken. They can also help the student understand that their grandma is only strict with grades so that their lives can be easier with a good education. It is a chance for parents and students to get involved in the school and helps create a plan to improve the student's performance.

Coming from Nepal for my undergraduate study in Southeastern Louisiana University is a milestone; inching me closer to my dream. My academic pursuits have helped me develop a strong background in physics and analytical thinking. My professors have nurtured my interest by encouraging me. Moreover, the rigorous curriculum exposed me to a wide range of ideas and helps me apply theoretical concepts to practical problems. Watching documentaries and animations to explain the workings of the universe is surely fun, but the real beauty of physics lies in the equations and the theories that explain all

Alan Francis Chalmers is an associate professor who works extensive in the history and philosophy of science (physical). Alan Chalmers has taught at the University of Sydney since 1971, first in the School of Philosophy, and from 1987 at the Unit for the History and Philosophy of Science. He attained a B.Sc. in physics at the University of Bristol, and his M.Sc. in physics from the University of Manchester. His Ph.D. on the electromagnetic theory of J.C. Maxwell was granted by the University of London. He was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Humanities in 1997. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the Flinders Philosophy Department since 1999.
