what Gauss and Karl Schwarzschild called
experimental geometry can be traced to his
collaboration with Tolman that must have begun in
1934. Their joint paper (Hubble and Tolman 1935),
sets out how galaxy counts, conceptually, could be
used to find the curvature of space by direct
measurement. The principle is to determine if the
volume encompassed within various "distances",
appropriately defined, increases at the rate of r[

Sexual Freedom Romantic Period

The Corset By Sawyer Armstrong November 8, 2001
All throughout history, a persons economical and
social rank could be shown through what clothes
they wore. In ancient Egypt, a person of upper
class was permitted by law to wear sandals on the
harsh, desert floor. Because of these laws,
female-confining ideals arose. For example, the
Greeks and Romans controlled the type, color, and
number of undergarments worn by women and the kind
of fabric do used on them. The torso became the

Floppy Disks Hard Drive

Hard drives have been around longer than you
think. In 1956, I. B. M. had invented a disk
storage unit that was very large but did not store
a lot of data. It was twenty-four inches in
diameter and could hold only five megabytes, which
is the equivalent to three and one half floppy
disks. Originally called fixed disks later became
known as hard disks opposed to floppy disks. In
1973, I. B. M. released a hard drive that could
hold seventeen and one half megabytes. In 1980
Seagate made the first f...

Ice Hockey Degrees Fahrenheit

Hockey is a sport of finesse, toughness, and speed
all wrapped up by player talent. Hockey can be
played on any surface, though ice and hard rubber
"roller turf" are the two major fields currently
played on by professionals. All though to some
these two variations on hockey may seem the same,
they actually have many differences. Roller hockey
contrasts that of ice in several ways. While the
playing surfaces are the most obvious difference,
number of players, periods, and skates also vary.

Ms Dos History Of Operating Systems

Abstract: MS-DOS was the dominant PC operating
system before the introduction of Windows. DOS was
originally based on a cloned version of CP/M
created by Seattle Computer which Microsoft
secured, modified and offered to IBM for use in
the first PC. IBM gave early PC users a choice of
PC DOS, CP/M or UCSD Pascal, but everyone chose
DOS because it was far cheaper. IBM coded the
kernel of BASIC into its copyrighted ROM, which
also included the BIOS, and designed the system so
that only its machines...
