Reading This Article Neutron Stars
569 wordsIn November of 1999 an article about cosmic cataclysms appeared in Time magazine. A cosmic cataclysm is also known as a gamma-ray burst. These gamma bursts cant be seen with the naked eye and they release more energy than our sun releases in its whole lifetime. As of now, no one is really sure whats causing these large blasts. Hopefully this will change as astrophysicists meet to discuss the blasts and as satellites are launched into space to capture the phenomenon. Even though no one is positiv...

First Atomic Bomb Amount Of Energy
1,524 wordsJohn Whitaker Prof. Angela Burton September 25, 2004 Research Paper History of the Atom Bomb The atom bomb is one of history's greatest and most feared accomplishments. The sheer power and strength of the weapon is something that is awe-inspiring, yet something to strike fear into the hearts of everyone who sees one explode. This amazing feat of human society came after many long years of difficult testing and retesting different theories. The invention of the atom or hydrogen bomb, as it is kno...

Period Of Time Atomic Bomb
951 wordsTHE ATOMIC BOMB Seven months after the discovery of the neutron, on September 12, 1932, Leo Szilard inaugurated the possibility of a controlled release of atomic power through a multiplying neutron chain reaction. Leo was legally recognized as the inventor of the atomic bomb on July 4, 1934. He described not only the basic concept of using neutron induced chain reactions to create explosions, but also the key concept of the critical mass. There are 2 types of atomic explosions, one in which two ...

Big Bang Theory 20 Th Century
3,306 wordsAlbert Einsteins theory Relativity Relativity Albert Einsteins theory of relativity has caused major revolutions in physics and astronomy during the 20 th century. It introduced to science the concept of relativity the notion that there is no absolute motion in the universe, only relative motion thus superseding the 200 -year-old theory of mechanics of Isaac Newton. Einstein showed that we reside not in the flat, Euclidean space and uniform, absolute time of everyday experience, but in another e...

M P H Black Hole
3,742 wordsBlack holes are objects so dense that not even light can escape their gravity, and since nothing can travel faster than light, nothing can escape from inside a black hole. Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. Since our best theory of gravity at the moment is Einsteins general theory of relativity, we have to delve into some results of this theory to understand black ...
