This paper critically evaluates an argument against Wake, Spencer & Fowler’s (2007) spatiotemporal theory because the objection confuses the hole’s identity with the exact region of space it occupies. The objection claims that holes are only identified with the specific region of space they occupy regardless of the greater relationship with the surrounding matter (Wake, Spencer & Fowler, 2007). Since the spatiotemporal theory identifies holes as spatial regions that belong to a larger object however, holes should not be identified as the spatial regions themselves without referring to the entire assembly. We will show that the author’s misconception leads to an unsound argument against the spatiotemporal theory. The objection to Wake, Spencer & Fowler’s (2007) spatiotemporal theory can be casually depicted by the following scenario. Suppose a rich man paid his mechanic to install a muffler for his custom sports car, but he did not specify which side of the bumper he prefers. In this case, the mechanic can either install the muffler on the right or left side of the vehicle. If we suppose that he …show more content…
The spatiotemporal theory’s criteria for identifying holes consider them as the smaller, empty region of space that belongs to the larger entity surrounding it (Wake, Spencer & Fowler, 2007). Since the smaller space enclosed by the larger object’s hole lining is an absence, it does not possess any identifying properties on its own other than its current spatial coordinates. As a result, it is impossible under the assumption that the spatiotemporal theory is true to identify a hole without referring to its location since it is the only distinguishable property it possesses. Consequently, holes should be identified with its distinct location because it is the only property that can be critically
What is s pressured individual? A pressured individual is a person who gets encourage to follow their peers by changing their attitudes, values, or behavior to conform to those of the influencing group. In the article, The Sociology of Leopard Man, Logan Fey’s states a quote that talks about individuals that are pressure from being themselves by things in the society. Fey’s talk more about individuals than Tom Wooldridge who goes by “ Leopard Man .” Although judgement was the main point in Fey’s article.
According to the Newbery Award committee chairperson said “Holes is masterfully unified in character, setting, and theme. As timeless as folklore and as outrageously funny as a tall tale, "Holes" ultimately charts the heroic journey of two very real boys.” The reason, Holes is a distinguished book that stands apart from other books is that Louis Sachar uses a nonlinear narrative approach by layering multiple plots and settings on top of each other, uses real life situations with just the right amount of humor, and shows how friendships are formed from a bad situation. Holes is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats, who is wrongly charged with stealing.
(GaBany). The object then collapses into “an infinitesimal point” and creates a bottomless pit in the fabric of space time, or a black hole. (GaBany). While Einstein performed much of this research, the first to give the black hole its iconic name was astrophysicist, John Archibald
To begin with, it is extremely important that our educational system stops promoting false confidence and allowing students to unlearn their current outlook on life. Both Davidson and Twenge touch upon the flaws in the current education system. As Davidson describes, “Confidence in your ability to learn is confidence in your ability to unlearn, to switch assumptions or methods or partnerships in order to do better. This is true not only for you, as an individual, but for whole institutions” (Davidson 67). Davidson believes true confidence, allows one to not only learn important ideas, but also forsake the ideas that may harm him or her from reaching a goal; she also mentions that this notion does not apply just to an individual person, but also applies

Stanley begins to question why he is forced to dig holes, and soon realizes that the warden must be looking for something. Stanley becomes friends with a boy named Zero and they both try to escape camp, and break they end up breaking the Yelnats curse.
In “The Fourth State of Matter” Jo Ann Beard portrays a perspective of the shooting of the physics department at the University of Iowa that not everyone knows about. A look at the relationships and some of the tension with the shooter and the people the shooter interacted with. The man responsible for the shooting at the University of Iowa was a Chinese doctoral student who worked in the physics department with the people he had shot, and the shooter was referred as Gang Lu. Ever since Lu had been working there, he had never enjoyed the company and presence of his fellow co-workers.
Space. As far as life is concerned, it is a short-lived, recent novelty that struts and frets its hour upon a miniscule stage, and consciousness may very well be nothing but a mistake in human evolution, one whose highest activity is the contemplation of its own absurdity--that it believe it needs a reason to exist so badly in the face of the cosmos’ ultimate
Holes is a bildungsroman novel by Louis Sachar. The story is about a young teenager named Stanley, who develops into a better person. Throughout the novel, Stanley learns to be brave and courageous, and digs up his hidden treasures. Stanley changed from being a pessimistic boy who didn’t believe in himself and never defended his thoughts or beliefs, to being courageous, optimistic, and learning to stand up for himself. Stanley discovered the hidden treasures buried deep down inside him.
. In this line, Stewart is suggesting two impossibilities. One, that nature has reduced mountains to nothing, and two, that it has stopped time. These are listed in increasing improbability and creates feelings of awe at nature in the reader, convinced by the repetition of ‘nothing’ that it is actually possible for nature to do the impossible. This is Stewart’s intention, and he achieves this because the language used allows the reader to visualise the immense beauty and power of such delicate
Holes is a book about Stanley Yelnats and how he survives his physical environment, Life situation, and the people at camp. The main character is stanley yelnats he got accused of stealing a pair of shoes that were for the homeless. There are several reasons why stanley is existing in a wasteland. To begin, Stanley’s physical environment isn’t a positive place to be in. For one thing there is a big lack of nature.
This separation evolved the Newtonian atomic thinking that in many respects is disintegrative but has dominated rational thought at the expense and exclusion of sociological considerations in most technological innovations. Our thinking needs to be holistically inclusive of the non-physical and intangible to quantum
Introduction: Recognition: Recognition is an act of identifying or recognizing something or someone, recognition has some different means: first it’s an action of intelligent apprehension, sometimes it’s hard to recognize, but when we recognize something we understand that we made a mistake. Second recognition is a form of acknowledge such as when you see someone from a place and recognize him or her. Third it is an act of identification or regarding other being, such as when you recognize someone’s place and location which its attainment or rights. Different efforts have made to defining precisely what is and it is not, to show the act of recognition. This case shows the recognition means: if you have 4 point which it’s A B C D, point A Taking

In there arguments it seems as the ancient atomists want to talk about it as this substance, almost like a dome inside of which the universe exists with space being what the objects take up as well as the absence of objects and outside of which is the heavens. This seems like the dome is a separate entity from the objects however the way they use the void in their arguments, they treat it more as a relationship between objects/atoms. The issue arises from the idea of the heavens during this time. The heavens were thought of as this realm above space which confines space to a set region, hence this dome like view of space where they are surrounded by the heavens which bounds them to this finite thinking of space. Not having the ability to perceive space as infinite locks them into this relative view of space.
This supports my theory because it proves that matter is structured by little particles that build it ’s way up to be different sizes. In the activity “Swab the Deck,” we made a streak using an alcohol swab and smelled the particles rising from it.
