The black hole, an area of spacetime thats gravity is so strong that it can prevent anything from escaping, even light. Contrary to popular belief, black holes are not empty holes in space, but rather a massive amount of matter packed into a small area. The graphic to the right shows the simulated view of a black hole in front of a Large Magellanic Cloud. The theory of these black holes was conceived in Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It predicts that a plentiful compact mass will contort

Virginia and was the son of a minister. That is the reason for his strong morals and ethics. Wilson graduated from Princeton and studies law at the University of Virginia and became bored and dulled by the law practice. He went back to school at John Hopkins and received his Ph.D. in government and history. Wilson became and author and a great professor and wrote several books: The State: Elements of Government: A Study in American Politics, Division and Reunion, and a five volume History of the

Science and Relgion Science and religion have not always peacefully coexisted. There have been many issues where scientific discovery and religious belief have clashed. Religion is based on ancient belief passed down through generations. As humans discovered more and more about themselves, they found that many of the things that religion told could not true. This caused an incredible crisis between the pious religious and the scientific world, especially in the Western world where Christianity

Christianity in Africa is not a recent happening nor is it a product of colonialism if we go back to the very time of the apostle. Christianity in most area was confronted during the centuries after the struggle by Islam, the Christian religion suffered in some measure, but did not disappear. Christianity has been flourishing on the northern part of this continent for years before Islam was born. Christianity in North Africa seemed to have been well founded deeply entrenched and firmly led. My research

Although Einstein first predicted the existence of black holes in his General Theory of Relativity as early as 1919, the idea that something could collapse to a point from which even light could not escape was first proposed by John Michell in 1783 in a communication to Henry Cavendish, who was a member of the Royal Society, and in the following terms: “If the semi-diameter of a sphere of the same density as the Sun were to exceed that of the Sun in the proportion of 500 to 1, a body falling from

7.28 Billion people live in the world. An average of 30 Million people don't have an education. You begin to wonder, is this our system failing or is it us ? Many people don't even get the opportunity to attend school nevertheless get to finish it. According to the recent launch of First Lady, Michelle Obama ‘Let Girls Learn’ program, she uncovered the various reasons on why many students don't get an education; In this case it was based more upon girls but the same idea is with the boys. Mrs.Obama

Anyone with even a moderate background in science has heard of Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. Since the publishing of his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859, Darwin’s ideas have been debated by everyone from scientists to theologians to ordinary lay-people. Today, though there is still severe opposition, evolution is regarded as fact by most of the scientific community and Darwin’s book remains one of the most influential ever written.

I am delighted to be here with you today, as you start the first Conference on Research in Distance and Adult Learning in Asia (CRIDALA 2000). I congratulate the Open University of Hong Kong and its Centre for Research in Distance and Adult Learning (CRIDAL) for this endeavour. I am told that the conference will focus primarily on Asia, but the participants, over 100, have come from all over the world --- the subject is surely of global importance. Let me therefore add a word of welcome to the

why it is beneficial for scientists to learn about the Tyrannosaurus rex. Arthur Lakes was the first to discover fossils belonging to the Tyrannosaurus rex. In 1874, the fossil was found near Golden, Colorado. Not long after, in the early 1890’s, John Bell Hatcher found multiple
