Billion Years Ago Solar System
2,233 words... alvarez's case, and see if it was flawed. This job was turning out to be more fun than I had expected. On my second reading of Alvarez's letter, I found it particularly dubious that the Cretaceous and Eocene extinctions should be excluded. How do we know that asteroids do not hit the Earth periodically? I asked. Maybe our failure to arrive at a theory just meant that we hadn't been clever enough. Not finding something is not the same as proving it is not there. I decided to reserve judgment....

Valence Electrons Periodic Table
854 wordsThe periodic table is simply the organization and classification of different elements. By the end of the 1700 s, scientists had identified about 30 elements. In less than 100 years, the number of known element doubled because of new means of recognizing them. In the early 1800 s, Dobereiner observed that there were elements that could be classified into groups of 3, or triads. These triads were significant because these classifications of similar elements represented the very beginning of the p...

If the function f (. ) is linear in its arguments, this modeling framework is similar to traditional autoregressive time series models. Forecasts from such systems tend to dissipate to the long-term mean value of the time series from whatever condition they are in, unless special efforts are made to include oscillatory or other long-memory feat...

Atomic Weight Periodic Table
1,546 wordsAt first glance, nature appears to consist of countless numbers of very different materials. The world thus appears to be an extremely complex mixture of many different materials. But philosophers and scientists have long held another view of the world. They have found it difficult to believe that nature is really as complex as it appears to be. Instead, they have assumed that the many different materials we see result from the combination of a small number of fundamental substances called eleme...

City New York Atomic Weight
3,116 wordsDmitri Mendeleev was one of the most famous modern-day scientists of all time who contributed greatly to the worlds fields of science, technology, and politics. He helped modernize the world and set it farther ahead into the future. Mendeleev also made studying chemistry easier, by creating a table with the elements and the atomic weights of them put in order by their properties. Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was born in Tobolsk, Siberia, on February 7, 1834. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy was th...

3,875 wordsOnce there lived and existed a great learned man with a beard almost as long as Gods. And one day the people came to this man and said Go to the Lord, and tell him of our misery. I will go, said the man. So he caught a great bubble, and sat down on top of it, and flew up and up until he pierced the heaven above us. And there he saw God and told him of our misery and God pardoned our sins and lightened our burdens. Then the great bearded man came down from the heavens and the people were happy. A...
