General relativity

The hypothesis was “If the height of the ramp increases then the speed of the toy car will increase because the the time taken to get all the way down will increase, so speed will increase.” The data supports the hypothesis. As the height of the ramp increased so did the speed of the car. This shows a positive trend. When the ramp was 10 cm high, after rolling for 30 cm, its speed was 23 cm/s. When the ramp was 15 cm high, after rolling for 30 cm the speed was 33.3 cm/s. At 10 cm, when the car rolled

Science and Christianity From the beginning of time, science and religion have fought each other. Both trying to explain life and the things that go on in our daily lives. There are many topics where science and Christianity don’t see eye to eye. Both believe many different things. Religion believes in faith and science believes in observing the environment and phenomena that happens around us. Many Christians believe that god created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. After creating

“Self- awareness doesn’t stop you from making mistakes, it allows you to learn from them”. Self-reflection is an important factor in improving oneself. In the past, the essays that I have written have mainly received positive feedback. Despite this, there is still much room for improvement in my writing. Earlier in the semester, I was assigned an essay for my chemistry lab class. We were instructed to watch a video about Dr. Stephen Hawking’s theory on the origin of the universe and then to summarize

Time travel is often thought of as an incredible journey towards a future of uncertainties and of great technological expectations. It is also associated with the curiosity of how one might end up doing with one’s own life. And if time travel were possible, one would opt into looking at one’s future self. Time travel is not only associated with the two mentioned expectations, but it is also thought of as a means for personal gain. For instance, one would use time travel to the future to look

Whenever people talk about time travel, they usually talk about the Butterfly effect. In essence, it is that if somebody does something so small as step on a butterfly in the past, it can lead to a course of events that change history. Naturally, it seems foolish to believe that something so small can have such a huge impact, but the world is built on many minute actions or inactions. For example, the publication of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a novel published in pieces in a little

Graph 1 shows the collision of two cart with the same mass. Cart 1 has a mass of 0.508Kg, and cart 2 has a mass of 0.514Kg. Cart 2 is indicated with a green line, and Cart 1 is show as a red line. The graph is depicting an example of a perfect inelastic collision. An perfect inelastic collision, is when two object collide with one another, sticks, and travel as one. The momentum of the objects are conserved, but the kinetic energy is lost to some other outside factor, for example thermal energy or

pollen grains in water through a microscope and found out that they moved through the water. A second major accomplishment was that Albert Einstein proposed the special theory of relativity. He accomplished this by looking through different works, Newtonian mechanics with

I contend that J.J. C. Smart’s second rate of passage argument is sound, and that time does not pass. The passage of time has been a widely debated topic among philosophers. Commonly, humans perceive time to be faster at one time than at another time, or slower, and vice versa. Although it may seem that time accelerates, whether or not it does, is the question at hand. In his paper, “The River of Time,” J.J. C. Smart establishes the foundation of his argument, which later philosophers would build

It’s rather funny how popular time travel is in science fiction storytelling, as the more you think about it the more ludicrous it can become in certain films. This isn’t to say that time travel is a bad concept to use in storytelling or that the paradoxes present in many films outright ruin the entire movie. For example, an excellent sci-fi movie with time travel is James Cameron’s The Terminator (1984), with the paradox being that the John Connor’s father is a man that was born after him. The interesting

A Wrinkle in Time: Proof that Faults are Strengths A Wrinkle in Time’s theme showing that faults are strengths compares to the 2018 movie adaptation. It is commonly believed that faults are flaws or weaknesses; however, this is not necessarily true. What if a fault was viewed simply as a difference or even a hidden strength rather than an imperfection. Madeleine L'Engle's classic novel A Wrinkle in Time provides us many examples how personal faults can be our greatest strengths. This is not
