Edwin Hubble was an important contributor to the Big Bang Theory. Edwin Hubble received his PhD in Astronomy at Chicago University. After college, he became the lead researcher in the field of astrophysics at Mount Wilson in California. He has done many things to help prove that the Big Bang Theory did in fact happen. Hubble’s revolutionary work includes finding a constant relationship between galaxies’ distance and redshift. This helped prove that the universe is expanding. He also created a classification

Do the brain games give the benefit they are said to provide? (Word Count: 1528) Yagna Patel 1001588524 BIO152, 9/27/2014 Prof. F. Rawle TA: Christy Simbeya Rough Essay: I. Introduction: There is a widely held belief that commercially available computerized brain-training programs improve cognitive function. 2 Although society has accepted this correlation of “brain games” and increased cognitive ability, it has yet to be proven.1 Regardless of this, there has been a

Cosmic Nurseries - Mommy, Where do Stars Come From? Since my entire thesis for this paper is about how a star is born, I guess the first thing I should start out with is by telling you exactly what a star is. Stars are self-luminous gaseous spheres. They shine by generating their own energy and radiating it off into space. The stars' fuel for energy generation is the stuff they are made of --hydrogen, helium, carbon, etc. -- which they burn by converting these elements into heavier elements

Annie Jump Cannon was born in Dover Delaware on December 11, 1863. Annie got her interest in astronomy from her mother, Mary Jump, who taught her the constellations at a young age. She attended Wellesley College, in Massachusetts, where she studied physics and astronomy. After arriving at Wellesley College, Annie contracted scarlet fever. She had fully recovered, but she remained partially deaf. This had a huge impact on her life and made her road to becoming an astronomer even harder. At Wellesley

gotten the point due to being almost entirely correct. 3.) Observations of Novae - During this third main topic, both Shapely and Curtis had gotten a point. This was because Shapely had seen the brightness of the novea, which had shown a lot of luminosity because of its long distance, and Curtis had suggested it was because of a bigger novea. 4.) Brightness and Spectra of the Nebulae - Shapely had pointed out that the brightness and colors that were measured of a spiral nebula far away. While Curtis

one for Marina nor Ulay, she gave up doing artwork for a while and later when she started performing again it was in a deeper way than before, she started with higher awareness and meditation type of performances such as “The artist is present”, “Luminosity” and others, whereas Ulay changed his scene completely and went back to doing photography as he did before Marina. When putting the relationship of these two artist in perspective it is clear that it was beneficial for both of them in the artistic

It is not an experience unfamiliar to one of saturated mind to find oneself, stranded at the 2 AM hour, paralyzed by fear for the reality of the insignificance of humanity against an incomprehensibly massive universe. While it perhaps presents itself as scary, the vastness of the universe lends its limitations to more than just our sense of importance, but to our ability to study it as well. First, it is important to distinguish that the size of the universe gives us a different view of our sky

necessities due to the fact that the sun gets older which results to a larger and warmer star that can result to the extinction of human and other complex life, and eventually after 2.56 billion years, to all cellular life. In about one billion years, the luminosity of our sun will be 10% higher than what it is now. This will result to a possibility that our atmosphere will become a "moist greenhouse", leading to a runaway evaporation of the bodies of water. As a consequence to this, plate tectonics will become

The subtle sound of the stream soothed his lost thoughts. His ears were engulfed by the fresh grass being crunched between his tired, beaten feet. He stood there, motionless, intimidated by the colossal, stone giants resting before him. He was surrounded by them; enclosed by their antiquated bonds of rock. Their bodies were clothed only by dense sheets of overgrown moss, peppered by bare clumps of pebbles and boulders. The dormant mountains continued to throw an unfocused gaze over him. Their presence

The Allegory of the Cave and Dante “If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.” This maxim applies to the poet Dante Alighieri, writer of The Inferno in the 1300s, because it asserts the need to establish oneself as a contributor to society. Indeed, Dante’s work contributes much to Renaissance Italy as his work is the first of its scope and size to be written in the vernacular. Due to its readability and
