King Lear A Lesson In Loyalty
858 wordsShakespeare's good characters, in the play King Lear, are considered good because they are loyal even when they are disguised from or unrecognizable by those to whom they owe loyalty. In addition, their loyalty does not waver even when they are banished or mistreated by those to whom they are loyal. Cordelia, Edgar and Kent are all characters that exemplify this goodness and unwavering loyalty. Let us first consider King Lear and his relationship with his daughter Cordelia. When King Lear asks C...

Quantum Mechanics Main Issue
1,046 words... derivation and decision making. The same applies to the couplets: order / disorder, element / system, evolution / revolution and not alive / alive. The latter is at the heart of the applied ethical issue of abortion: when should a foetus begin to be considered a live thing? Life springs suddenly. It is not more of the same. It is not a matter of quantity of matter. It is a qualitative issue, almost in the eye of the beholder. All these are problems that call for a non-continuum approach, for...

Compact Disk Popular Music
1,485 words... d. It is always so associated with a Utopia, or more recently with anti-Utopia, so far lifted out of its environment, that its form tends to choke it. The question of the future, whether it might be in fact, nothing more than an abyss, is never really raised. Whilst resisting structures, resistant strains in popular music never seek to fundamentally question the actual structural foundations of the languages they speak, nor do they seek to radically historicism these structures. Too often, i...

Sample Size X X
751 wordsRandom Variable A random variable X is a rule that assigns a numerical value to each outcome in the sample space of an experiment. A discrete random variable can take on specific, isolated numerical values, like the outcome of a roll of a die, or the number of dollars in a randomly chosen bank account. A continuous random variable can take on any values within a continuum or an interval, like the temperature in Central Park, or the height of an athlete in centimeters. Discrete random variables t...

Energy Levels Black Holes
969 wordsThe problem of continuum versus discreteness seems to be related to the issue of infinity and finiteness. The number of points in a line served as the logical floodgate which led to the development of Set Theory by Cantor at the end of the 19 th century. It took almost another century to demonstrate the problematic nature of some of Cantor's thinking (Cohen completed Godel's work in 1963). But continuity can be finite and the connection is, most times, misleading rather than illuminating. Intuit...

F X S 2
866 wordsTo avoid confusion, it is customary to write the Fourier transform and its inverse so that they exhibit reversibility: F (s) = f (x) exp (-i 2 xs) dx f (x) = F (s) exp (i 2 xs) ds so that f (x) = f (x) exp (-i 2 xs) dx exp (i 2 xs) ds as long as the integral exists and any discontinuities, usually represented by multiple integrals of the form [f (x+) + f (x-) ], are finite. There are functions for which the Fourier transform does not exist; however, most physical functions have a Fourier transfo...

Stimulated Emission Positively Charged
948 wordsLasers HISTORY OF LASER PRODUCTION The roots of laser mechanism are very modern. In 1900 German physicist Max Planck presented an explanation of why the colors of a glowing hot body may change with temperature. He also proposed discrete quantum theory saying that radiations come in discrete quantities called quanta. Therefore radiations are not only a series of waves but a stream of particles called photons. By 1917, Einstein has outlined the principles underlying the production of laser radiati...

York John Wiley F X
2,792 wordsFourier Analysis Fourier analysis of spatial and temporal visual stimuli has become common in the last 35 years. For many people interested in vision but not trained in mathematics this causes some confusion. The use of these Fourier methods does not mean that the visual system performs a Fourier analysis. At present it should be understood that this approach is a convenient way to analyze visual stimuli. Jean Baptiste Fourier, a mathematician, showed that any repetitive waveform can be broken d...

Ray Bradbury Poor Family
873 wordsIn Ray Bradbury's, Fahrenheit 451, he predicts a dismal future full of technology, which has been over run with censorship and propaganda. When Bradbury presents his predictions for the future, he depicts many devices and ideas that are now a reality, even though the book was written over 40 years ago. In a discrete fashion, he proposes his thoughts on censorship and propaganda. Thereupon, Bradbury emphasizes the power of propaganda in peoples minds, changing their own opinions. Thus concluding,...

Quantum Mechanics Quantum Physics
1,568 wordsWhile researching quantum physics, I realized that I had just finished a book that was based on quantum theory. At the time, I didn t quite realize that quantum theory and quantum physics were related except in name. Niels Bohr once said, Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it. He believed this because quantum physics makes the common laws of classical physics false on small scales. First, quantum physics is the physics of the incredibly small. It tries to explain the ...
