Neil Degrasse Tyson's Welcome To The Universe

Based on the title of this episode, I expected it to talk about the depths of the ocean, but I was wrong. Instead the episode began by discussing condensation and evaporation and the sun’s effect on each one of these mechanisms. Neil Degrasse Tyson then dived deep into a water trap to further express the contents of the drop, and the water bears appeared once again, their small but rigid tolerance allows them to survive almost everywhere. The episode then began to discuss the structure of a plant at a molecular level and Photosynthesis. There was one thing that I found very interesting in this episode and that was then sectioned that talked about Charles Darwin’s prediction about the orchid's nectar. He believed that everything as created for a reason, if the Orchid had nectar at the end of their narrow stems there must be an animal capable of retrieving that nectar, and he was right a fly was discovered in Madagascar that had a lengthy tongue, one that was used to suck up the nectar from the bottom of the

The most common scientific explanation of how our universe came to be, is the Big Bang Theory. Around 13. 8 billion years ago there was no sign of anything apart from darkness. Until astronomer Edwin Hubble made a remarkable discovery about how the universe was created. Edwin Hubble hypothesised the matter and energy in the universe was initially condensed in a very small and infinitely hot mass. A huge explosion, known as the Big Bang, then sent matter and energy expanding in all directions (Howell, n.d.).

Newton's discoveries of the laws of gravity, calculus, and the three laws of motion contributed to the success of Scientific

For my entertaining biology article, I chose to review an episode of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey called “Some of the Things That Molecules Do” which is a documentary television series and follow-up to the 1980 series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. This series was brought back as a revitalization of space in the public eye. The main principle behind this series was to bring space back to the forefront of our curiosity as Americans. Neil deGrasse Tyson does an amazing job presenting fairly complex concepts in a way that would capture the attention of anyone watching and give them knew knowledge on difficult concepts that they can share with others.

Do you want to know more about the universe, but dont have the time to actually pursue a detailed study? Then Astrophysics for People in a Hurry is exactly the book for you. The book describes the origins of the universe, delves deep into how it functions, and discusses different concepts of physics. Tyson tries to explain these concepts in the most simplified manner with a lot of humor. He also leaves us with not just a better sense of understanding of the universe, but also many questions about how to relate with the infinite cosmos with our own human and limited understanding.

Chapter seven opens with the assumption of a cosmography concept of the universe from all history civilization. In particular, the perception of ANE society in terms of how they described the picture of the universe as a whole. Today, one can create a better map with the main features of the universe due to science and technology has evolved. At the same time, to have a better understanding of how the earth, the sun, and starts functioned within their area of operation.

The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was written by Douglas Adams and published in the year 1979. It is both a science fiction novel and a comedic read. Adams wrote this novel in a time when space exploration was on every human’s mind. The Americans had recently landed on the moon and the sky had no limit. No one knew how far humans could go or what else was out there. Adams wrote this book to allow humans to see the possibilities that lie in space and give them an entertaining read that would apply to everyone. The protagonist is a human named Arthur Dent. He is saved from Earth’s demolition by his friend, Ford Prefect, and they travel across the galaxy together.

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 in as are senses are awakened, and the topic of the universe is expanded upon through further observations. How the universe began is a topic that will continue to intrigue mankind, and the more knowledge we gain, the more our appreciation of space

In my book, “The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams, if I could meet any character I would want to meet is Trillian. I would ask her how she has not gone insane yet, dealing with Zaphod Beeblebrox. She puts up with him often because he is basically insane and they are dating. Zaphod is the President of the Galaxy. They see the sights of the universe together in the Heart of Gold, their spaceship that Zaphod stole. I would ask Trillian how she puts up with him and everything in the universe. She sees many things and they are all beautiful and wonderful. Trillian is a curious person and I wish that everyone had that curious nature because as most say, “Curiosity killed the cat,” but I know that, “Satisfaction brought

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams begins with the destruction of planet Earth and reveals the adventures of the last two surviving humans in the depths of the Universe. On the whole, the book is mostly written in a satirical form. Under the animated and cheerful adventures that take place in the book, the author exposes and criticizes human ethnocentrism and humans’ quest for the meaning of life. To begin with, Adams’ use of humor allows him to denounce human ethnocentrism in a playful fashion.

Young Arthur Philip Dent just wanted to have a normal day with some good tea until his friend, Ford Prefect, of seven years told him very unexpectedly, that he was an alien from the area around Beetlejuice and that the Earth was going to be blown up in a matter of minutes. Although this may seem devastating to most, all Arthur was ever concerned about was the condition of his house or whether he would have tea or McDonalds again. From there on, Arthur and Ford, along with a few other characters such as Trillian, Zaphod, Slartibartfast, as well as the paranoid and depressed robot Marvin, travel through the galaxy encountering numerous tasks such as finding the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. All of this

In general, chapter 8 largely focuses on the usefulness of scientific theories, as it can make accurate predictions. Scientists adopts two different type of attitude when looking at a scientific theory: instrumentalism and realism. Those who are instrumentalist generally use theories in order to predict certain things, disregarding whether it reflects reality or not. On the other hand, those who are realist also use theories in order to predict certain thing; however, what differentiates it from the other is that it also reflects the way things really are. For instance, suppose an object was falling down at a speed of 10 meters per second squared. If one accepts gravity as a really existing force and that it is the reason behind the fall of the object, then he is taking a realist approach toward scientific theories. As for instrumentalists, if they wanted to consider the question of whether Mars moved in small circles around something, and that the only important theory was Ptolemy’s system with epicycles, then it would not matter whether Mars moved on an epicycle. After all, instrumentalists disregard whether a theory reflects reality or not.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy starts with Earthman Arthur Dent facing the demolition of his house to make way for a motorway bypass. He was then met by hi friend Ford Prefect who had three things to tell him: He was an alien from Beetlegeuse, He was a writer for the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and the Earth was about to be destroyed. Arthur and Ford get picked up by a Vogon ship avoiding their destruction along with Earth. However the Vogons aren’t particularly fond of hitchhikers and Arthur and Ford end up getting blasted into the vastly huge vacuum of space, but before they suffocate they are rescued by Ford’s semi-cousin Zaphod Beeblebrox.
