that 20 percent of Americans doubt that we landed on the moon. But a Gallup company poll conducted in 1999 showed more like 6 percent was the truer number. Still, that adds up to millions of Americans doubting the landing on the Moon. I personally believe that we landed on the Moon.. What about
If We Didn’t Have A Moon.” by Ethan Siegel explains about how we wouldn’t have eclipses, our tides would be low, and how our axis tilt would vary over a large amount of time. Of course without a Moon, we couldn’t have eclipses, because there wouldn’t be anything to get in the way of Earth’s shadow. The moon also keeps Earth from spinning around like a top, instead of changing the tilt of our axis it stays at 23.5°. Without the moon our tides would change drastically, instead of being 140% as strong during the spring tides, they would only be about 40% of the standard
Moon Landing Conspiracy A great deal of people believe that the landing on the moon, or Apollo 11, did not happen. People think the U.S. filmed the “landing” in a studio because they were losing in the Space Race. The Space Race was a race to the moon between many, countries including the U.S. and the Soviet Union. At the time the U.S. was losing, so they had to land a person to the moon quicker than the Soviet Union.
Kubrick’s two particular films were the cause for aroused suspicion in the conspiracy theorists community, “2001: the Space Odyssey” (which was released a year before the moon landing) and “The Shining”. The former was evidence that the technology to fake such footage was possible by use of impressive visual manipulation and the latter was claimed to be riddled with hints. These subtle clues of an apollo jumper of one of the main character 's attire; the original 217 number changed to 237 which was reasoned by hoaxists as 237,000 being the average distance to the moon; and the repeated quote “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” being used to work in an Apollo 11 acronym (A11). In any reasonably logical person, these would not be acceptable evidence for a theory yet these ludicrous ideas have been employed by conspiracy theorists. Conspiracy theorists fail to understand the concept of coincidence or the possibility of a mischievous personality with the goal of increasing
Aliens have been spotted all throughout history. Although history states this, some argue that there is no legit proof. Not only does the government cover up evidence, a huge portion of the world is undiscovered. Nobody knows the purpose or want of these aliens, Along with all of this, Area 51 is an unsolved mystery. All throughout history there have been numerous situations of alien sightings.
There is a big argument among the world discussing the issue of evolution verses creation. The evolutionists believe that everything has evolved from similar ancestors, and over time they changed into the different species we have today. Creationists believe that everything that is on the earth was put here by a higher being that put all of the complexity and variation of the animals that are here today. I believe that everything that on the earth today was created by an intelligent being because evolution is just a theory, evolution is no longer happening, and it is unscientific based on the scientific method.
If they do, why did they do that? Will they comeback on Earth? If it’s all true, does it mean that we are missing a huge part of our history? The great pyramid of Giza, was impossible to be built in just 22 years wherein the stones weighed thousands of tons.
Roswell, New Mexico Do aliens really exist? Is Earth the only inhabited planet? In the summer of 1947, unexplained debris found near Roswell, New Mexico raises speculation of alien existence. Even after decades of debate, people still do not agree about the source of the debris. The debate has sparked two major theories: a giant balloon crash and a UFO crash.
Are we forlorn in the cosmos? Of all the planets in the universe, is Earth the only one which can support life? This is the topic that was intensely debated upon by scientists before until now. Frank Drake estimated that there are probably a million or so of intelligent, communicating civilizations in our galaxy.
Staring with the comparison of Creationism and Intelligent Design, the idea that they are vastly different in their way of processing information is very evident as Creationist believe in the book of Genesis, whilst Intelligent Design uses science to backtrack throughout historical data. These contrasting views are similar to those of Theists and scientists as Theists use Biblical text to interpret the creation of Earth, whereas scientists use the scientific method in order to find a concrete answer backed with facts. The skepticism lies with Meyer’s two topics that were mentioned to prove his rationale. Coming with a similar background of both Dr. Bernal and Pannell, the idea of nano-machinery and digital code within DNA poses some questions. While yes, one can consider these small protein complexes as machinery, Meyer’s perception of nano-machinery, stating that they were only made for that one specific task, seems to go against most of scientific discoveries.
Pluto, a planet that is only known to the average huan as the reject planet (once the ninth planet of our solar system,but now catorgized as a dwarf planet) and no thing else. So because of this lack of knowlegede scientist at NASA made a spacecraft named New Horizon to find anymore information on Pluto via flyby scan. After 9 and a half years hardship the spacecraft reached its destination. When the spacecraft sent information to the scientist on the dwarf planet scientist were dumbfounded on the output data.
During the talk by Dr. David Galbraith, several global questions were raised. The most prominent one that came to my mind during the talk was how we are going to survive on a planet that we cannot leave, yet one that we have depleted our natural resources by 98.5%. Galbraith discusses how we survive on Earth because of the presence of our atmosphere and internal magnetic field; we are unique because we have yet to encounter another planet that has an atmosphere like we do. Because our atmosphere is protecting us from cosmic rays and radiation, and we have yet to find a way to substantially protect ourselves outside of our atmosphere, we are stuck on our current planet. As Galbraith discussed during his talk and mentioned above, we have depleted
Since ancient times, full moons have been associated with odd or incomprehensible occurrences that can only be explained by the supernatural. These events have prompted countless experiments and endless research, but maybe such problem’s answers are simply out of this world. It has been reported that many people and animals that have contracted Lyme disease feel discomfort and the worsening of their symptoms during full moons. An answer as to why this occurs is beyond scientific understanding, but what if the answer is as simple as society 's location, or more so planet? If a moon base were to be created, then the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, Borrelia Burgdorferi, could be further researched, the base would help society learn how the bacteria
Rhetorical Angliss Katha Pollitt (Original) “What’s the Matter with Creationism?” by Katha Pollitt, was written in response to a recent Gallup poll that showed 46 percent of respondents are creationists. Pollitt then proceeds to compare this poll to another poll conducted with college graduates that shows 46 percent of graduate students are also creationist as well. She then proceeds to blame the educational system for not teaching evolution to students correctly, she says: “Needless to say, this remarkable demonstration of educational failure attracts little attention from those who call for improving our schools”. Throughout her essay, she bashes the educational system and multiple religious groups for not convincing their students and children the undeniable truth of evolution.
Introduction The Glass House Mountains are an iconic part of Queensland. There are fourteen mountains, however, twelve were volcanoes. This report contains information such as how the glass house mountains were formed and what types of rocks are found at the volcanoes. How were the glass house mountains thought to have formed?
