Essays on Einstein

Everybody has their own idea of what creativity is. Creativity is defined as the capability to see the world in different ways, to discover unseen patterns, to make links between apparently distinct phenomena, and to create solutions. Creativity encompasses two practices: thinking and putting the thoughts in a tangible object that can be heard or see. Various components are needed for one to be creative. Such components, together with the reasons as to why people create are discussed in this paper. Further, the questions of whether creativity has a value, or whether it can be taught are answered. Creativity ...

Quantum physics is the branch of physics associated with quantum theory. Albert Einstein discovered the theory. It explains the nature of matter and its behavior on both subatomic and atomic level. This discovery contributed to the revolution that took place in the 20th century. It promoted optimism among people in Europe, which assisted in the progressing of industrialization. It transformed the way of life, mostly in cities. The discovery contributed to the ethos of achievement. Although it transformed the traditional way of life, the change was better as the revolution brought new avenues for people and ideas. Darwin’s ...

“Eppur si muove,” (“and yet it moves”) Galileo has been said to say after he withdrew his contention that the earth revolved around the sun. Whether Galileo said it or whether, as Hayton suspects it was an interesting fiction developed for a piece of art in the middle 1600s is ultimately irrelevant. It captures the essence of science. Indeed, it captures the absurdity of the phrase “settled science.” The “settled science” to which Gallileo ultimately capitulated was utterly wrong. And yet, indeed, it was the Earth that moved. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is ...

According to the “science” of astrology, a person has particular personality traits based on the month, day, time, and place of their birth. While astrologers may defend this ancient craft of divination as science, does astrology merit inclusion in the world of science, disciplines of knowledge that include astronomy, chemistry, biology, physics and many other fields that entail rigorous observation, experimentation, and prediction? Clearly, astrology is a pseudoscience, and Imre Lakatos explains the rationale for its exclusion as legitimate science better than scientific philosophers, Thomas S. Kuhn, or Sir Karl Popper. In order to clarify the demarcation criteria between ...

1. How do stroke survivors or anyone with chronic illness, and health providers remain hopeful and “realistic”? What values are involved in their hope?People with chronic illnesses remain “realistic” due to their inner strengths and the absence of choice. According to studies conducted by Hartigan et al., stroke survivors first experience fear, but then replace it with the desire to regain control in life, and their main goal is to become independent (Hartigan et al., 2011, p. 26). Indeed, to have a goal means to be able to remain hopeful and to have desire to reach it. Such ...

There are many events in modern history that altered the course of humanity forever. From the Golden Age to Prohibition, America went through many major changes throughout its journey through time. One of the most important events that brought about significant change to the country was the advent and participation in World War II. This was brought many developments that would allow militaries and navies to completely change their fighting tactics. There were new ways to destroy the enemy and showcase power to the rest of the world. This brought about the introduction of total war, which refers to ...

Abstract

Rhetorical criticism is basically an analysis of the items people use to communicate, such as images and words. There are different strategies that one can employ when conducting such an analysis. Most importantly, the first step is the selection of an artifact to analyze since the strategies used may differ with the artifact. In this paper, the artifact to be analyzed is an advertisement from Apple and the method employed is ideological criticism, which evaluates the message presented by this advertisement.

Research Question: What is the main message behind this advertisement and was presented in a way that was ...

Dozens of names cross the mind when considering a single individual who had significant impact on Western culture in the Age of Pluralism and Modernism. The 20th century began on January 1, 1901 and ended on December 31, 2000. During that time period, influential musical masters included B.B. King, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson. Scientists of the same time period counted Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, and Ivan Pavlov in their number. Sigmund Freud revolutionized the field of psychology, and while Adolph Hitler promoted war, Mahatma Gandhi promoted peace. While any of these people and many others may be considered ...

That a man should hate oneself is a common phenomenon, which everyone experiences once in a while, because of people’s intrinsic flaws. These flaws ramify into people’s creations such that there is not one thing a man has created, which does not have to endure a measure of hatred from the rest of society. The creature in Frankenstein is no different from men’s inventions, whose hideous nature was not apparent at the time of their inception, and abhorred for what passed as evil yet not appreciated for the utility its creator envisaged. The guiding question for ...

Abstract

Given that the relationship between music education and mathematics education has been speculated for a long time, the study seeks to investigate whether music education has effect on mathematics education or not. It is perceived that children who learn mathematics through music and dance tend to be more active, and would retain the same information well even by verbal instructions. Using a controlled randomized experiment, the study will involve 6th grade school going children from one city. Before the tests are administered in the factors, as music and mathematics, letters seeking permissions from parents will be sent. The letters ...

Abstract

Juvenile delinquency in the United States is steadily increasing at an alarming rate. The age pool of offenders keeps on decreasing even for violent crimes such as homicide and rape. It is unclear on how the society deteriorated in successive decades since the 1970s crack cocaine epidemic. Street gangs took over droves of students into their establishments while promising acceptance. The programs that came to the aid of the criminal justice system were two pronged. The primary program is prevention. This program holds the potential to safeguard schoolchildren who are yet to succumb to the pressures and circumstances around ...

Introduction

Fried Green Tomatoes is a 1991 comedy dram film written by Carol Sobieski and Fannie Flagg. The film tells the story of a friendship between two pairs of women – Ruth and Idgie during the Great Depression of early 1930s as well as that between Evelyn and Ninny in the 1980s. It happens that Ninny knew Idgie and Ruth and she tells of the stories about these two women to Evelyn who is in her middle ages (Avnet, 1991). The central issue in the film concerns the murder of Ruth’s abusive husband Frank after which numerous accusations on the ...

Question One: People Involved

Television technology was not an innovation of a single person, but of many people who made milestone discoveries at different times in history. As such, the innovation towards realizing the modern technology took place for many years with various people contributing differently. In this light, the following is a list of the people involved.

Men have always dominated in the field of mathematical studies, but some women managed to achieve there more success than their male colleagues. One of such outstanding women was Emmy Noether. Amalie Emmy Noether was a Jewish German mathematician and one of the most famous female scholars in the history of mathematics. She made significant contributions to theoretical physics and abstract algebra and established the theories of fields, rings, and algebras and famous Noether’s theorem that demonstrated bindings between conservation laws and symmetry. As Nathan Jacobson said, “Emmy Noether was one of the most influential mathematicians of the ...

Introduction

There are environmental chemical processes which require light to react. These processes are called photochemical reactions. Photochemical reaction is commonly initiated due to the absorption of solar energy or light. When molecules absorb energy in the form of light, the atoms are converted in a transient excited state (Larson & Weber, 1994). This transition state or excited has completely different physical and chemical properties with the initial state of the molecule. The excited states also have more tendencies to react since they are considered stronger acids and stronger reductants that the initial state of the molecule. The excited state of ...

Many people suffering from this disability do have unusual styles of studying, listening to people and a different interpretation when communicating (CDC 3). Scientist studies show that it is a disease that is common in boys than in girls and can be examined in an ethnic or racial group. It is characterized by behaviors such as hand flapping, résistance to environmental change and aggression (ASF 4). Autistic people have been shown to succeed in life with plenty of significant people being named to help give guidance to the young ones that are autistic. The main reasons as to ...

Abstract

The following summary discusses the cooling techniques of atomic vapor in several different ways. Additionally, it tends to relate the evolution of experiments that are used in studying shallow layered fluids. Starting with the atomic condensates, the method is known as trapping. However, it exists in many ways from the laser system to the Bose-Einstein methods. The methods of cooling are different due to the evolutionary progress made by science. The use of laser beams includes the study of light forces on atoms which lead to either an absorption or emission of a photon. While the contraction of matter ...

The ultimate goal of early childhood education is to improve children’s social-emotional skills, acquisition and use of knowledge and skills and use of appropriate behavior to meet their needs. As said by Albert Einstein, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." Therefore, the use of technology is not suitable in early age, as it teaches children to depend on technology rather than believing in themselves. Scientifically proven method states that when a person learns something through the senses of touching, hearing, writing, communication is more prone to remember for a ...

The paths of water through the hydrologic cycle

One of the most fundamental principles in hydrology and ecology is the hydrologic cycle. This cycle represents the process of water circulations from the oceans, atmosphere, land and back to the ocean. The energy driving the cycle is from the solar/sun and forces of gravity. The process is continuous, and is a global wide process ensuring that every water drop on earth is part of the system (Harper et al n.d).

At the beginning of the process, water from the seas, lakes, wetlands, rivers gain energy from the sun and get transferred to the atmosphere as vapor. The sun provides ...
