- Around 2.5 centuries ago, several physicists of the time came up with the notion of a dark star. This was a star so dense, with so much gravity, that not even light could escape. The calculations used Newtonian mechanics. In class, we calculated the escape speed from the surface of the earth or the distance from the sun, and the mass of the planet or star. Here, the process is partially reversed. Calculate the dark star radius from the mass of the star and the escape speed.

- The law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the amount of energy in the universe is constant. In your initial post to the discussion, respond to the following prompts: What do you think would happen if energy were not conserved? Think of (and share) two scenarios in which our lives would be drastically altered if this law of conservation was not in place. At least one of your scenarios should be at the molecular level. Would the implications be positive? Negative?
