Dr. Siebren DeKuiper was a renowned and celebrated astrophysicist, who dedicated his entire life towards expanding his knowledge in the wondrous topic of black holes. He had been fascinated with black holes since he was a child. Growing up in the Netherlands, he had spent countless nights gazing at the beautiful skies above, dreaming of what mysteries lay beyond. Even after several years, his interests and passion towards black holes and galaxies remained unchanged, and he had gone on to become a renowned astrophysicist. Over the years, Dr. DeKuiper managed to achieve several groundbreaking discoveries in the field of astrophysics by developing new theories about the nature of black holes and their effects on the universe.

DeKuiper's obsession with black holes blinded him to the dangers of his own research. He became so fixated on the idea of harnessing their power that nothing else really mattered to him as long as he got closer to his goal. One day, after several sleepless nights and countless cups of coffee, Dr. DeKuiper finally achieved the breakthrough he was looking for; he believed he now had the knowledge to apply this theory into practice and created a device that could theoretically harness the energy of black holes. Shortly after, Dr. DeKuiper and his team boarded the high-tech spaceship that they spent years building that was capable of traveling large distances at an unimaginable speed (Hyperdrive from Star Wars). As they approached a massive black hole, Dr. DeKuiper’s obsession towards his goal began to drive him deeper into madness, as his greed began to cloud his judgment. He began to think of all the new advancements that the human civilization would make and the accolades he would receive if he were to succeed. As Dr. DeKuiper’s mind spiraled out of control, he ordered his crewmates to move closer and closer to the black hole, until they reached a point of no return. The black hole consumed everything within its vicinity; the spaceship and all the researchers and scientists within it perished. The tidal forces caused a “spaghettification” of their bodies, as they were stretched and destroyed beyond recognition by the warping of space. This story serves as a cautionary
On February 15, 1912, during the same week in which Edith Elmira Sigler was born in Shelby County, Center Texas, a sister town published the Lubbock avalanche. The U.S postal workers are compared to other mail service workers on how much they make. Lubbock acalanche reminded their followers of the upcoming State Primary that was held on July 27th 1912. Edith Sigler was probably use to seeing the Republicans and the Deomocrats who worked together to fight socaialism. The town of Lubbock was dignosed with “improvemetngitis”.
Deke Slayton was an amazing astronaut as well as a former pilot in the American Air Force, an aeronautical engineer and the first Chief of the Astronaut Office for NASA. His most famous mission was when he was chosen to join the Mercury Seven astronaut crew. One of his other acheivements included being the oldest person to travel in space at the time at the age of 51. Despite all his successes, there were a few setbacks in his life that almost prevented him from accomplishing his goals. In his childhood, his left ring finger got cut off because of an farm equipment accident.
For four years he was there. Within those four years he made a friend, International 4-8818. One day while they were sweeping they found an iron grill over a black hole. Equality wanted to go explore it, but International was afraid and it is forbidden to do that. Equality responded with “The council does not know of this hole, so it cannot be forbidden” (31; ch1).
The exploration of space, while the seeming pinnacle of human exploration, has been shown to be quite dangerous. From the explosion of the Challenger to the cinematic portrayals of endless possible incidents, there are few things more hazardous than braving the infamous “Final Frontier.” Because of the danger posed by space exploration, there must exist a code to follow to ensure a desired balance between safety and progress. Tom Godwin’s Cold Equations has been described as “the best SF short story ever written, it is a virtuoso performance, a story set in a future so distant and different that we can only glimpse it in mysterious reflections and intriguing images” (qtd. Benford 217).

As we kept moving along on our bridge, our anticipation grew, and we began to stress out. "Ok, finish up what you're doing and please put away all of your items," Miss Bergman shouted over all of the voices. Everyone was so perturbed that we had to stop, but we all reluctantly followed her command. Science seemed to arrive slower than ever, and today we would be able to finish our
The novel became popular quickly after it was published. The book was written during his final year at medical school and the success caused him to realize that he prefered writing over medicine (Trembley 31). Although the novel was quite popular “the mix of science and suspense brought varied reactions from reviewers” (“Michael” Contemporary). The novel consists of a group of scientists trying to solve a medical mystery. The major conflict in this story is that there is a lethal virus, the andromeda strain, that spread through a town due to a fallen satellite.
Although scientific progress greatly benefits civilization, it also carries severe risks. For every penicillin, there 's a weaponized nuclear energy. Suffice to say, if left unchecked and without regulations, the human genius might create something which it simply cannot control. In a search for a scientific truth, man can unleash horror upon himself. “Mad scientists", men who disregard their safety and the safety of their surroundings to achieve their goal has become a staple of modern literature, almost a cliche.
Herman Webster Holmes known as Dr. Henry H. Holmes or H.H. Holmes was a famous American serial killer. Holmes was born on May 16 , 1861 in Gilmanton, NH. Holmes lived a very easy childhood as he was a privileged kid. Holmes was strangely intelligent and showed a great amount of interest in medicine.

Alan Lightman, a physicist, social entrepreneur, and creative writer of various works, including Our Place in the Universe: “Face to Face with the Infinite,” is written for the general public. This essay, takes the reader through humanity’s scientific discovery. For example, in his introduction, Lightman catches the reader’s attention by telling his own story so the readers can relate to it. Throughout the essay, the concept of size is predominant. Lightman conveys our place in the universe through the representation of a scale to let readers understand the universe.

All of this came to mean, in his theory, that information could actually be lost inside black holes. Hawking was eventually proven, and publically said, that he was incorrect, but there were still many unsolved mysteries about black holes. A physicist, Juan Maldacena, came up with a mathematical formula that would explain the black hole evaporation. It used the superstring theory involving a 2D universe invisible to those existing in the 3D universe to explain it. This would keep the quantum laws intact for the issue of evaporation.
Dodging the odd planet and bypassing the intergalactic bypasses, the ship sailed through the universe like a silver ball in a galactic pinball game and Giles could not help but to resign himself to yet another failure. Dejected, Giles
A black hole is nothing but empty space that has a gravitational force that nothing can get past it, not even light. It is almost like a massive, vigorous vacuum making it the second to largest black hole astronomers have ever seen. Two million years ago, the black hole was 100 times more powerful than it is today. Scientist are confused why the black hole is weakening because it's suppose to be the opposite. Sagittarius A is about 26,000 light years away from Earth and it is 100 more massive than the
