    substances and with the changes that they go through: the structure and properties of a substance: the way a substance changes and reacts with other substances,” according to Marion Webster Dictionary. Chemistry is that science that looks in to the atomic structure of all the things all around us and tells us what elements things are composed of and how they react together within our daily lives. Chemistry is the study of all matter in the universe and what it is composed of. Stanislao Cannizzarro

    unobserved, and we are therefore making hasty generalisations on the basis of insufficient evidence. How can we know whether Olber’s paradox was not simply due to other unexplained phenomena in physics? On the other hand, we cannot know whether Olber’s paradox was due to other unexplained phenomena of physics and must therefore require the development of knew knowledge to disprove it. The knowledge shown to be wrong by Olber however was

    world, however, owes a great deal to Ernest Rutherford and his discoveries. Today, the science of physics has propelled to new heights. In France and Switzerland, scientists at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) are in the process of venturing with the world's largest particle accelerator, called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), to unlock some of the last mysteries of particle physics – the existence of substances such as dark matter, dark energy, and something called Higgs Boson

    addition to his continued work on unified theory, Einstein was in demand as a speaker and wrote extensively on many topics, especially peace”(Baughman). Albert was later on offered an opportunity by President Roosevelt to take part in the making of an atomic bomb that involved his mathematical equation, but declined the offer. Einstein eventually became a supporter of nuclear disarmament after the Japan bombing and World War II. His support also helped the establishment of a world government and the creation

    When you are trying to describe or represent an abstract idea, it is hard to explain it through the written word and language. While words are more concrete, the left half of the brain, which processes language, doesn’t develop as early as our right, the center for sensory information. At our core we understand visual form over language, so a visual depiction of something that is enigmatic and abstract, such as Ferment by Roxy Paine, will be more easily understood, rather than if the concept was

    Atomism: Democritus and Epicurus      In the Atomists, we see pluralism taken as far as it could possibly go. We see Democritus and Epicurus divide all the world, as well as the universe, into two categories; atoms and empty space. Everything else is merely thought to exist. The atoms are eternal, infinite in size and number and they are moving through the empty space. There is no motion without empty space. Both Democritus and Epicurus agreed that motion was
