Particle Fever

It’s one of the few sources I’ve found that is written specifically about Americana music. I’ve glanced through it, but have yet to do an in-depth read yet. Hopefully it will be as informative as I’d like it to be.

Did this book inspire you to want to do more research on the subject? Why? Why not?

“The lights that filled the universe could be channeled, dissected, magnified, and measured by human ingenuity” (enlight, 2). There was a significant breakthrough in regards to what could be done in continuing to explore new theories.

To discover what the universe is made of and how it works is the challenge of particle

After finishing the book, I think I finally understood myself better, why I smoked, why it was so hard to free myself from the addiction, and how I could quit smoking for good. I used the book's advice and resources and set my cold-turkey quit date. Something felt different this time, as if I was armed with knowledge I never had before, and that gave made me gave me a powerful feeling before my quit date.

To explain, beginning with the basic atomic building blocks, a perfect harmony of protons, electrons and neutrons must be in a balanced existence for any and all to even occur. In addition, through scientific study our species has discovered how notions of gravity, oxygen, and complex interactions between energy and matter all coexist (once again in perfect harmony) to create the moment us ‘humans’ take so fiercely for granted. Whether through direct social control, notions of ‘common sense’, popular norms, and all the other various politics of life it is easy to lose sight of the clarity, divinity, and simplicity of the

Overall, I was enlightened about the small actions in the world creating large aftershocks, and that a tragic moment can have a happy effect; although the effects might not be visible.

I found the videos this week to be fascinating and thought that they were very informational. I learned a lot about the brain and how it affected by Alzheimer’s and Dementia. When comparing the brain of someone who had Alzheimer’s, to someone who did not you could see a huge difference.

Dr. Shirley Jackson’s first job was at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory where she studies hadrons. From here she went to the European Organization for Nuclear Research to become a science associate from 1974-75. From 1975-1976,

I intend to major in physics and a minor in computer science. The University of Chicago is renowned for it’s physics programs. The various labs at the school teaches many branches of physics from astrophysics to nuclear physics. By dedicating four years of learning here, I hope to decide on which branch of physics I will dedicate my life to. I am especially passionate about particle physics, to think everything is made out of atoms and those atoms are made up of elementary particles is fascinating. I not only hope to learn from the professors and the laboratories, but to work with them to understand elementary particles. Research collaboration opportunities at the University of Chicago is not comparable to any other

clarified difficult topics and led me through complex areas, and put knowledge into context so

The Last Lecture made me rethink the priorities in my own life. After reading the book, I feel as if I now have a better understanding of just how important life is and how quickly it can be taken

I saw the neuroscience perspective. Looking at the brain in a "use-dependent" matter makes perfect sense to us now, but this concept was not thought of in the past. Neural systems that are used become more dominant and vice versa. It is easy to see the application when working with traumatized children.

Before watching the movie, I have never heard of it before. I never knew it existed. Temple Grandin is another inspiring movie that I have been glad to have watched. It deals with the autism of a woman and tells the inspiration true story of her.

Overall I thought this was a really good movie. I thought it taught you a lot about diversity, women’s rights, poverty and peace. The movie was a very touching and inspiring movie; there is also a lot of emotion due to what they had to deal with on an everyday basis. To me the movie and their stories really teach you that you should be aware of your surroundings and to be helpful in your
