In order to make his response more effective, Albert Einstein uses rhetoric in his response to Phyllis Wright. In his response, Einstein takes the question of prayer and applies it to his scientific knowledge. As a very credible scientist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Albert Einstein was a wise choice for Phyllis to write to. Moreover, in the context of this letter, Einstein proves to be a good choice especially when compared to what other scientists were accomplishing in this time period. Although

This idea has been theorized in quantum physics, religions, and philosophy. Even though the theory is popular in many science fiction and fantasy franchises, many scientists are trying to find proof of existing universes. Some believe we are living in parallel universes that had different timelines

electromagnetic aspect of electrical engineering. I hope this class can provide me with a general idea of electromagnetic and help me decide which concentration I am going to choose. Also, I didn’t particularly like electromagnetic in high school physics classes. I thought it was kind of abstract and useless at the time. So, it is quite exciting for me to learn about how electromagnetic is used in engineering and practical applications. I am a creative person and I can bring up some

In 1920, two astronomers named Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis had a big public debate. They argued about a lot of things, but the main thing they were arguing about was the size of the Milky Way and whether or not there were other galaxies like ours in the universe. Shapley had figured out that the Milky Way was a lot bigger than people thought before, and he was right, but because of that he also believed that there couldn't be other galaxies like ours out there. Curtis, on the other hand, thought

As long as I can remember, I have had a natural curiosity for why things work the way they do. Over the years this curiosity has led to my desire at age 5 to “become a scientist and move to Africa,” my obsession with the engineering of aircraft carriers and airplanes at age 10 (I meticulously poured over the “How Stuff Works” books), and my interest in law reviews during my early teens. I have always loved to read and learn about diverse topics and in high school I searched for a way to focus this

The Most Ignored Man of the Scientific Revolution “Why should anyone choose to write [about] George Starkey? To judge by the work of contemporary historians, he was an obscure figure indeed.” (Newman, 1) This is the first line of the book Gehennical Fire by the so-called Starkey expert, William R. Newman. He poses an interesting question, Professor Newman. Of course, obscure is only the beginning of the ways that one can describe the alchemist known as George Starkey, George Stirk, and Eirenaeus

Albert Einstein was a scientist, specifically known as a physicist. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. According to history.com, he grew up in a “middle class Jewish family in Munich.” This meant that his family was neither poor or rich. As a child, Albert Einstein had a love for music, mathematics and science. According to biography.com, he enjoyed classical music and even played the violin. Biography.com also states that Einstein experienced speech difficulty,. While speaking

Space. A lonesome and dark place. It’s limitless and a never-ending tapestry of stars and planets. One of these billions of planets is ours, “Earth.” But one of the largest, most spoken, and unsolved questions in every history book of mankind is: “Who created us?” Was it God or was it through the science of bacteria and evolution? KRYPTON and EARTH PLANETARY DATA COMPARISON: Krypton, a planet distant from ours, and much, much older, 8.7 billion years in fact. This was before it imploded around

The “Grand” Naturalism vs. “Tiny” Realism People speak of “fate” for many reasons. From the story of The Open Boat, we see how Stephen Crane shows us a Universe unconcerned with the affairs of mankind. But on the other hand, there are people tend to see themselves as being important in the grand Universe. For instance the story of Araby by James Joyce, it reveals a story about psychological realism of a young boy’s excitement after his crush has talked to him. Although The Chrysanthemums is a story

However, the observation that extremely small particles exercise a “sort of volition, which of course leaves room for freedom” makes too great a claim. This “sort of’’ volition that Holmes refers to, is that which is described as Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. There is some uncertainty as to where a particle is when we are measuring how fast it is moving; and there is uncertainty about how fast a particle is moving when we are measuring where it is. Nevertheless, that uncertainty is not due
