Hubble Space Telescope Universe Continues To Expand Energy
786 wordsThe universe begins with a cataclysm that generates space and time, as well as all the matter and energy the universe will ever hold. For an incomprehensibly small fraction of a second, the universe is an infinitely dense, hot fireball. The prevailing theory describes a peculiar form of energy that can suddenly push out the fabric of space. On a rare occasion, a runaway process called "Inflation" can cause a vast expansion of space filled with this energy. The inflationary expansion is stopped o...

Hydrogen Bomb Radiation Sickness
1,381 words... es as many cases of severe burns as there are burn beds in the whole of North America. A whole year's supply of blood for transfusion would be needed immediately, and of course is not available in storage nor could it be collected from volunteers in a few days. The injured who reached hospitals would have to be assayed for radioactivity, for the safety of the staff, which would cause a serious bottle-neck and delay in most hospitals. The result of this huge overload of cases is that most of ...

Newsday Health And Discovery Health And Discovery Years
540 wordsFossils are amazing how they are formed. The process is fossilization. I was surprised to discover that a series of mistakes must happen in order for a fossil to be created. First some living creatures must die and must some how escape the scavengers that have a roll in the food chain. The once living has to then become entombed in mud and sand. The shroud must lie undisturbed for years so that mineralization can take place in which the tissue or cast gets filled in with sediment. Then this body...

Sir Isaac Newton Houghton Mifflin
1,786 wordsIncreasing our knowledge of Physics, using the scientific method to make observations and test hypotheses is essential to unlocking the secrets of the universe. Energy is one of the most fundamental elements of the universe. Throughout history, man has endeavored to expose, understand, and explain how and why things work. This drive to expand our understanding eventually led to the development of the scientific method and what is commonly considered to be the king of the sciences, Physics. The e...

18 Th Century Speed Of Light
1,558 wordsBlack Holes Every day we look into the night sky, wondering and dreaming what lies beyond our galaxy. Within our galaxy alone, there are millions upon millions of stars. This may be why it interest us to learn about all that we cannot see. Humans have known the existence of stars since they have had eyes, and see them as white glowing specks in the sky. The mystery lies beyond the white glowing specks we see but, in the things we cannot see in the night sky such as black holes. Before I begin to...

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...

000 Tons Of Tnt Atomic Bomb
1,006 wordsQuestion: What did you learn about Nuclear Weapons from reading this book? On August 6, 1945, approximately 70, 000 Japanese lives were ended within a matter of seconds. The United States, under command of President Truman and Secretary of War Henry Stimson, dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. After reading author John Hersey s book entitled Hiroshima, it made me ponder about what would go through my head if I were on Hiroshima soil. What actions might I take? What would I do to sur...

One Of The Greatest Enrico Fermi
754 wordsEnrico Fermi was one of the greatest minds ever and one of, if not the most, influential nuclear scientist s ever. His work on the atomic bomb and nuclear transformations would earn him the Nobel Prize and a reputation for brilliance his whole life. Fermi was truly one of the greatest minds of our time. Born in Rome, Italy in 1901 Fermi was a hard worker until he died in 1954. He first became interested in science after the death of his older brother Giulio. At the age of 16 Fermi left for colle...

Fusion energy seems to be the most promising energy source of the not-too-distant future. It is safe, it uses an energy supply that is so abundant that it will never run out, it gives off harmless waste, and it produces energy comparable to the Earths sun! But are there any problems with this hopeful energy source? What is Nuclear Fusion? To understand fusio...

Hydrogen Bomb Chain Reaction
409 wordsThe Hydrogen Bomb The history and workings of this massive bomb Back in 1905 Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. According to this theory the relation between mass and energy is expressed by the equation E = mc squared, which states that a given mass (m) is associated with an amount of energy (E) equal to this mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light (Encarta). So years later in 1939 two German chemists took this idea and applied it to a uranium atom, which wou...

The city went up in flames caused by the immense power equal to about 20, 000 tons of TNT. The project was a success. Hundreds of thousands died and still more were wounded. This was the final triumph that finally brought Japan to surrender. The effects of the bomb are still being seen but there is no doubt...

881 wordsManhattan Project The Einstein Letter Leo Szilard, like many other foreign-born physicists in the U. S. who had fled fascism, knew Germany was conducting nuclear research. Having learned the Germans had banned the export of uranium, he believed the Germans were developing an atomic bomb. Fearing what would happen if Germany developed a nuclear weapon, he urged Dr. Albert Einstein to convince the American government to support nuclear research. On August 2, 1939, a month before Germany invaded Po...

Leptons May Turn Quarks Is Called Particles
461 wordsIn about 1900 it was theorized that the atom was composed of smaller particles. An atom is actually a system consisting of a cloud of negatively charged particles called electrons surrounding a nucleus, composed of positively charged protons and of neutrons, which have no charge. In the 1960 s scientists discovered that protons and neutrons are composed of even smaller particles than first believed. The term quarks came about from an American physicist named Gell-Mann. He borrowed the term from ...
