Physics in Sports      When many people think of sports, the topic of physics doesn't always come to mind. They usually don't think about connecting athletics with academics. In reality math, science, and especially physics, tie into every aspect of sports. Sports are a commonality that brings nations together, Soccer, known as football to most of the world, is said to an unspoken language, which unties people from different lands through a passion to play a game. Athletics

took a Saturday morning class at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. From then on I knew that I loved astronomy. After high school I went on to university where I majored in physics. A good knowledge of physics is necessary to be a good astronomer since the two fields are tightly intertwined and as astronomers we use much of our physics every day. I’m still convinced that majoring

anyone ever care to understand what he has contributed to education? Or what he has contributed to knowledge? No, because the only thing media shows us is how he is capable of many things, even though he is disabled. Many people have the issue of making that connection between what Hawking is known for, and what he has actually done to be who he is today. Hawking is a brilliant man, and he has, and will, continue contributing to education in the fields of math and science for as long as he is capable

of people through their work, and by showing how important education is in the world/society. .Firstly, scientists/inventors discoveries impacted the european society by expressing the worth of the scientists. This can be sent through Kepler’s inventions. One of Johannes Kepler’s inventions was the the Keplerian Telescope. What this was, is an instrument that was

positon you have displayed on your website. I am a senior at Texas A&M University; I will be graduating this May with a bachelor’s degree in Physics and a minor in Mathematics. I believe the Homeland Protection Systems group would be a great organization for me to apply my skills and education in aiding in the defense of our country. My background includes physics-related research working under Dr. Mioduszewski and Dr. Weimer, the latter of whom I am still working with. I have experience in data analyst

Christian Bohr a brilliant physiology professor and his mother was Ellen Adler, daughter of a wealthy politician. When Bohr was six years old, he was baptized as a Lutheran to please one of his grandmothers. Bohr’s parents were deeply passionate about education and were taught at home. Niels commenced formal school at the Grammelhom Grammar School at the age of 7. While Niels loved talking, he was weak in his native language, Danish. Bohr

chemistry. Bohr, along with his younger brother, grew up in a genius environment due to his father’s profession in physics. While growing up in a education packed home, his father’s profession awakens a potential career ideal for Bohr. Soon after graduating from Gammelholm Grammar School in 1903, he enrolls at Copenhagen University. While attending Copenhagen, he earns a degree in Physics under Professor C. Christiansen in 1909, as well as obtains his doctorate two years later. Not only does Bohr try
