Evolving Planet Observation Report

Scientist also emphasis that the outcome of the whole investigations can also be the reference for trying to figure the accurate date in early human fossils. They think the date can know the fossils were saved in the Malapa throughout the period of thousand years, the time around 1. 98 million time, since the Earth's magnetic field flipped 180 degrees in order to back

Doesn’t Genesis Contradict Evolution? In modern times, scientists continue to come up with theories that explain the origin of the universe, the earth, and even life. The most popular theory about life is the evolution theory. The evolution theory states that all organisms (including us) evolved from a single-celled organism millions and millions of years ago. Despite the theory’s overall popularity in modern times, there isn’t a lot of evidence supporting this theory.

Darwin, after traveling the world and gaining a great amount of data, introduced the idea of evolution. Though evolution to this day is still debated upon between the religious and scientific communities, it is one of the greatest and most compelling discoveries in recent memory. In the year 1859, Darwin published On the Origin of Species and the world would never be the same. He went into great depth on natural selection and how species could evolve over time in order to create an entirely new species. His theories would predate all ideas that God created man.

We have technology that can examine the DNA of humans and compare it to DNA from other living organisms. Darwin’s theory is that humans are the result of evolution from the ape. With the world ever developing , the theory is that the ape developed into a Neanderthal and the finally into a human. This theory may be believable, as according to Dr. Nolan in Greer’s article “Neanderthals are 99.5% genetically identical to humans, and chimps and apes are 96-97% identical” – this shows that there are similarities between humans and both Neanderthals and apes , however the majority of people disagree with this theory as they say there is too much of a difference. This is what people feel when the statistics show similarity of a minimum of 96% similar.

This scientific study will analyze the first moon landing by NASA in the Apollo 11 space mission from July 16th to July 20th in 1969. The launching of the Apollo II program was the first designated landing of a space vehicle in the history of the human race. Under the leadership of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin, the Apollo 11 mission defined one of the most important acheivements of early astronuatics in the Apollo space program. The initial stage of the mission involved being launched from the Kennedy Space Center by a Saturn V rocket. This rocket had three major parts involved in the space mission, which included a command module, service module, and lunar module that carried the three astronauts into space after the launch.

“Is this for real?” asked Alison Rigby, a 33-year-old prospective candidate of the interplanetary mission to colonize Mars, known as the Mars One mission. What can anyone possibly reply other than this if one is acquainted with such a controversial project? It is indeed thrilling, or perhaps alarming, that there are genuine intentions and even concrete plans to send people to the red planet. The good old curiosity might have prompted mankind, but with the level of technology, the amount of funding, and the degree of knowledge and experience these Earthlings, who are operating the Mars One mission, currently possess about Mars, the Mars One space rocket for the manned space voyage in 2026 might just become an enormous metallic flying tomb carrying

There are many scientific elements in all three stories, Some of the elements are hard to find. The first story is “ A Sound of Thunder“ by Ray Bradbury. The first element that it has in it is technology advancements showing how the characters have a time machine where they go to the future or in the past. They try to use the time machine to help with the mission that they are trying to accomplish. They try to see the meaning of what is going on among each of the characters “A Sound of Thunder” is science fiction because of the way they use ordinary things and try to go back to time where there were dinosaurs.

The moon has orbited the earth for over 4 billion years. Many scientists hold different opinions on how the moon was really formed. There are three main thoughts on how the moon was formed, these being:the giant impact theory, the co-formation theory and the capture theory. But the question still remains, how was the moon created?

Jordan Bates in his article "In Order to Ensure Our Survival, We Must Become a Multi-Planetary Species" published by Futurism states: "A number of experts agree that humanity needs to become a multi-planetary species within the next 100 years to ensure its survival into the future. "(Bates) Experts on space believe that if we are living on more than one planet, and an asteroid hits earth, that the human species will not be wiped out because others would be on Mars. Others believe that we may run out of natural resources on Earth and that Mars could save us. Although some people believe this, it is not true.

You might suspect me to ponder imaginatively to the story about the extinction of the dinosaurs. I am wondering, if our time can be reverted to the past million years ago, I really would like to explore the world of the dinosaurs to find out the hidden facts about them. Nevertheless, in reality, the time cannot be reverted. But, one fact is clear that my mind has reverted to the era of the dinosaurs when this article was written. The exploration that I ventured through the different “mind-space” was indeed intoxicating!

I also started to think about the Drake equation, which I learned about in high school. The Drake equation looks at different things like the formation of stars and the probability of other life-sustaining planets, which in turn gives us a number of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy that we can detect electromagnetic emissions from (The Drake Equation). While I thought quite a bit about extraterrestrial life, I also thought about the fact we are stuck on Earth. The first thing that immediately comes to mind with that is how we are going to produce enough food. In the paper we discussed during class on Thursday, the data showed that we are using a significant amount of our natural resources in the production of beef cattle, and my thoughts on this are that we should transition to meats that don’t use as many resources.

That is why this theory seems a little far fetched. Now 65 million years later we come with new theories everyday. As scientists come closer to see what the exact reason that Dinosaurs died. But, of the plausible theories on how Dinosaurs went extinct many have tried to decipher the facts of each theory to find which possibly happened.

Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel did not change my thinking of the human evolution because that is how I already felt about history. I believe that everything develops at their own speed because different places have different beliefs and have their own ways of evolving. Since I was born, my grandparents would take me with them to National Parks such as Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, and Crater Lake. Because of my grandparents, I became educated on many things concerning our nation’s history. I understood that some things couldn't happen at the same time as others because of how the land is different in other places. An example of how the United States is different across the country is simply the accents.
