Dark matter Essays

Dark matter is just what it’s name suggests; a complete mystery. More is unknown than is known about dark matter, though it is said to make up more than 27% of the universe. The existence of dark matter has only been inferred from the gravitational effect it appears to have on normal matter. Scientists are led to believe that dark matter does not interact with the electromagnetic force since zero light can be reflected, emitted or absorbed, which in turn makes it nearly impossible to detect. Swiss-American

Does the fish know that it is in water? That is a saying that really strikes thought into one’s mind. Can an organism be truly aware of something that is beyond itself, or something that has been a given truth since its birth? This thought provoking remark indeed that bears a lot of resemblance to the overall theme in Science Set Free, written by award winning novelist and heavily respected biologist, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake. Within the book, Sheldrake’s main concern is that modern day scientific beliefs

Gage Newton English 10, Period 6 12 October 2015 Dark Holes Dark gaps are the most grounded matter individuals know to date. Understanding how they are made, What they are, and how they are formed. How They Are made? They are produced using a Stellar Star. Made when the focal point of a major star falls in upon itself, or breaks down. At the point when this happens, it causes a supernova. A supernova is a exploding star that impacts some portion of the star into space. (Nasa.com) At the point

or not... Space. What exactly is space, such a mystery. Full of darkness, planets, marvelous, beautiful, and intriguing. Space is a vast place which few have explored. So why, why do we explore? What’s the point? Space is a vast empty place that has been explored by few. Yet humans have been prioritizing this issue for years now and yet we have not found a place capable of being inhabited by humans. So why do humans continue this knowing that it would take years and years to even reach the planet

The hollow earth theory or ‘hohlwelttheorie’ as it is called in German, is the idea that the Earth is not a solid mass but rather an entirely hollow sphere that within contains a substantial interior space. The idea goes back to ancient mythology, folklore, and legends of a subterranean land inside the Earth, from which places of origin and afterlife were thought to be located, such as the Christian hell described by Dante, the Greek underworld, the Hindu ‘Patala’, the Celtic ‘Cruachan’ just to name

The Fermi Paradox The Fermi Paradox, inaccurately attributed to physicist Enrico Fermi, suggests that if intelligent extraterrestrial life exists, there would be evidence of their visits to Earth, or presence in the galaxy and/or universe, but since there is no clear evidence, intelligent extraterrestrial life either does not exist, or some other explanation is required to explain the lack of evidence. The name of this concept improperly originates from the physicist, Enrico Fermi, who asked, “Where

In Neil Degrasse Tysons book, “Death by Black Hole”, he says states something quite intriguing. “Without a doubt, the most spectacular way to die in space is to fall into a black hole. Where else in the universe can you lose your life by being ripped apart atom by atom?” Black holes are regions of space (and of space) where the gravity is so high that the fabric of space and time has basically curved in or collapsed on itself. The very first black hole found was Cygnus X-1 that is roughly 6000 light

DEFINITION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE TASK The researcher will conduct an inflated balloon experiment. This experiment will allow the audience to understand clearly, "Charles' Law" and "Kinetic Molecular Theory" respectively. It will use extremely low and extremely high temperature so that the audience can evaluate the significant difference on the balloon size. The students shall be competent in presenting a laboratory experiment because it is one way to get involve in the lessons taught in school

Optical vs Non-Optical We end the great design debate. There are plenty of different telescopes that have been invented. The two main differences between telescopes is that they are either optical or non-optical. Non-optical telescopes are telescopes that are used by viewers to look at other electromagnetic spectrums other than the visible light. Some of these are radio waves, X-rays, infrared rays, Gamma rays and ultraviolet rays. There is one major advantage of non-optical telescopes over optical

A Warp in Time and Space In space there are giant masses where no light can escape. Usually these gigantic dark masses are surrounded by dust and gas of all colors. There may be stars nearby, but in this dark mass nothing can be seen, only black. The masses cannot actually be seen at all without the dust and clouds around them, as they do not give off any light because their gravitational pull is so strong that all the light is pulled in. These are called black holes. A black hole is a very unique

Assessment of Pharoah Rivers (There Are No Children Here) Boimah B. Karmo Neberaska Wesleyan University Abstract Pharoah Rivers is a nine-year-old boy and the fifth of eight children. He is like any other nine-year old child that loves to play and seeks daily challenges. Pharoah and his family live in Chicago in the Henry Horner projects; a public housing complex that's overflowing with gangs, drugs, and the infliction of pain on others. Pharoah stays with his mother, LaJoe, and his siblings. His

As a result of my life experience, nature helped me to become a Christian and look more into evidence that points towards a Creator through the universe. The Cosmological and Teleological arguments provide evidence of a Creator. The Cosmological argument is that everything that is created has a cause, for example, an egg comes from a chicken. But there has to be a first cause that was uncaused. More accurately, “ Whatever begins to exist, has a cause of its existence.The universe began to exist.

are so many black holes in the universe that they are impossible to number. Although the expansive number, the closest black hole to earth is “1,600 lightyears away” (Marel). But what exactly is a black hole? A black hole is a place in space where matter has been compressed into a small space. This amplifies the force of gravity so much so that “even light cannot get out” (Dunbar). Black holes can vary in size, but their size does not determine the amount of mass inside of them. A “stellar” blackhole

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch epitomizes the ideas of both the Surrealism movement and Science Fiction genre and should be classified as such. The diction in this novel pertains to the movement and genre because of its poetic and lyrical style as well as its scientific jargon. Through self-realization and personal growth, the main character’s development illustrates the ideas of Surrealism and Science Fiction. The genre of Science Fiction is shown in the conflict of Dark Matter because of its examination

Epistemology – Prof Caitlin Gilson Q – ‘’Outline the three major theories of knowledge in the Theatatus’’ The three types of knowledge discussed in the Theatatus are: knowledge is perception, knowledge is true judgement, and knowledge is true judgement with an account. Knowledge is perception - Plato's strategy tries to portray that knowledge is derived from the perceptible or sensible world. Plato explains that this ‘’perception only’’ knowledge is not the whole truth because the sensible

Chemistry P. 2 9-20-17 Chapter 2 Booknotes 2.1 What is matter? matter - anything that has mass or volume volume - the amount of space an object occupies mass - a measure of how difficult it is to change the object’s state of motion atoms - the basic unit of matter molecules - a neutral group of atoms held together by chemical bonds physical properties - properties that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter state - the condition of being a gas, liquid, solid, plasma

Physical properties can be measured without changing the substance. physical properties is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without change. Chemical properties shows how the substance behaves with other substance and testing results in a new substance. Chemical property may only be observed by changing the chemicals identifying of a substance. A physical reactions goes into a physical change of substance. It does not change the composition normally. Physical reaction in

All matter is made of particles called atoms. An atom is smallest unit of matter. A matter can be solid, liquid or gas. When a group of atoms bond together this makes a molecule. The molecule is the base of chemical compounds that is involved in chemical reactions. A mixture of elements is what is known as compounds. Chemical reactions occur when particles react with each other and atoms in molecules get rearranged. Reactions happen either rapidly or slowly. The speed of a reaction is known as the

Johnson Chao Geo 10 Eileen Peña 20 October 2015 Dawn of the North Amanda Briney wrote an article on About.com explaining and discussing the natural phenomenon aurora borealis, also more popularly known as the Northern Lights. Described by many as beautiful bright lights dancing in the sky, the Northern Lights has been listed as one of the seven wonders of the world. In ancient times, the Northern Lights were an unexplainable phenomenon, leading to the creation of myths, legends, and folklore revolving
