Tropical Rainforests Deep Sea
543 wordsSnelgrove and Grass in The Deep Sea: Desert and Rainforest published in Oceanus, volume 38 in 1995 argue that the popular belief that the deep sea is little more than an ocean desert is a pure fallacy.

Royal Society Scientific Theory
1,015 wordsWhen discussing knowledge we must explore what we mean by knowledge. Does everybody within society accept the same information as knowledge? I will investigate further using the example of medical knowledge. Knowledge is not absolute. As knowledge and knowing is a human faculty, by the very nature of human beings and a society that has a choice in what and who to believe, it cannot be an objective set of truths.

Space And Time Intelligent Life
1,052 wordsThe scientific community is largely in agreement on the fact that life began here on Earth about three and a half billion years ago.

Since the dawn of mankind, we have looked to the stars in search o...
