Asimov

"Today's science fiction is tomorrow's science fact." This very astute quote was once coined by renowned author and biochemist Isaac Asimov. This rings true in our daily lives every day. Things in science fiction movies, TV shows or books are becoming a reality today. When the first microwave device was invented in 1946, people were afraid to put their food in this machine for fear it would be destroyed. Merely seventy years later, people use microwaves everyday. This shows that in less than a century

On the morning of August 6, 1945, a B-29 bomber named Enola Gay flew over the industrial city of Hiroshima, Japan and dropped the first atomic bomb ever. The city went up in flames caused by the immense power equal to about 20,000 tons of TNT. The project was a success. They were an unprecedented assemblage of civilian, and military scientific brain power-brilliant, intense, and young, the people that helped develop the bomb. Unknowingly they came to an isolated mountain setting, known as Los Alamos

The Scientist that I am doing this on is Ken Ham because, he is a creationist scientist and believes that god created the earth in six days and the seventh was a day of rest. He says that evolutionists use the dinosaurs as there most effecting that they have lived millions of years while he contradicts that and says that they lived with humans because god mad animals and humans on the same day around 6,000 years ago. Now some people will tell you there is no god or they will believe evolution or

World renowned science fiction author, Isaac Asimov, stated, “Today’s science fiction is tomorrow’s science fact.” This quote rings very true in the sense that science fiction grants us the power to predict the future. Through these fictitious texts, we gain valuable insight into significant issues and matters both known and unknown. Although upon original release, these texts remain a mere glimpse into seemingly impossible technologies and societies, the true beauty of the genre, is that over time

respond to scientific/technological developments. Notable and renowned writers of SF literature include Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, John Campbell, Douglas Adams, and Isaac Asimov among others. The one who first began this discourse however, was Mary Shelley. Her famous novel ‘Frankenstein’ first published in 1818, is described by many as the first SF novel (Aldiss 64; Roberts 93).This essay will use Frankenstein as an exemplar

In the Veldt by Ray Bradbury and “The fun they had” by Isaac Asimov it is clear that technology separates human interaction and will eventually create lack of humanity. In these stories the authors show how technology destroys everyday human interaction, that machines do things for us and how dialogue in the text takes over humanity. First of all in the two texts, they both show how technology is destroying everyday human interaction. For example in the Veldt the nursery is separating the kids

A.I. has been an up-and-coming topic recently having received multiple TEDtalks on the subject and having been argued about from some high profile individuals on social media along with a few experiments between two A.I. systems which, contrary to the popular news stories, did not get shut down due to apparent issues with the new language the machines created (Novet, 2017). With the near limitless possible applications of A.I. in today’s society, one that stands out to me is it’s potential to assist

The investigation and the goal of this research project is to answer the question; what role did civil wars play in the deterioration and eventual death of the Roman Republic? It is relevant because it shows the transition of government. The issues that are going to be addressed highlight the political unrest in the Roman Republic and the corruption of different leaders that were one in many reasons why the Republic became an Empire. This research will focus on the time period of 100 to 25 BC and

The Life of Galileo and the Effects of his Findings on Faith Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, February 18, 1564. At an early age, Galileo was interested in mathematics and the study of mechanics. His father, a onetime mathematician, pushed him towards the medical profession, which held much greater financial benefits. But the attempts of Galileo’s father were in vein as Galileo soon discovered the works of Archimedes and became extremely interested. Thus, his father reluctantly allowed

Let’s just assume that the ultimate goal of United States’ absolutely vile public school system is not to create an army of mindless, insipid, obedient workers that specialise in the completion of mundane and menial laborious tasks to help blindly build a malevolent dystopian corpocratic regime. But shocking and uncomfortably plausible conspiracy theories aside, let us begin by observing and acknowledging the massive flaws of the US’ public education system. There are several aspects surrounding
