String theory is defined by Merriam-Webster as‚ "A physical theory in which one-dimensional loops travel through space and also merge and lyse as time elapses. This is in contrast to ordinary quantum field theory‚ which predicts point particles that emit and absorb each other. String theory is a candidate for a Theory of Everything." String theory would solve the long fight between Einstein’s theory of relativity and Quantum Physics. String theory proclaims that everything in our universe‚ from

Research Title The Use of a Bow and Arrow to Test the Probability of Bull’s-Eyes Introduction Scientists throughout the years have always had thoughts of the numerous possibilities that would erupt from their experiment. Measurements made during the experiment causes the set of probabilities to immediately and randomly assume one of the possible values. This was stated by the Copenhagen Interpretation whose essential concepts were devised by Niels Bohr‚ Werner Heisenberg and others in the years

Have you ever wondered how trajectory and the pressure in the atmosphere affects the spin of a soccer ball? I don’t really play soccer that much‚ but I’ve never understood why the ball curves in the air when you kick it. For my science project‚ I wanted to learn about the pressure in the atmosphere and how it affects a soccer ball in flight. I believe that understanding Bernoulli’s Principle may help to explain why the trajectory affects the spin of a soccer ball. Daniel Bernoulli never imagined

We look back on the great inventions our president of today has made. He is an interesting man‚ creative‚ smart‚ and very different from many people. His inventions have helped us greatly which is also a quirk to him being the best president we have had so far. No one can beat Thomas Jefferson‚ he is a man of science and a great man of science while we are at it. You should buy some of Jefferson’s inventions today! (Some items will be on our ad portion of this newspaper) Jefferson is our third

In 1928‚ Raman spectroscopy was introduced by Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman an Indian Physicist‚ together with K. S. Krishnan. For this tremendous contribution in Physics‚ Sir C. V. Raman got Nobel prize in 1930. Write something about Raman signal‚ where does it come from? What are the implications of Raman? Raman is the inelastic scattering of light. The meaning of inelastic scattering is observable from the figure below. When an electron is excited by photons of applied light‚ it jumps from
