Landfills: A Growing Menace When asked to think of the largest man made structure‚ people will invariably come up with an answer like The Great Wall of China‚ the Great Pyramids‚ or the Taj Majal. In contrast to these striking achievements of mankind is the Durham Road Landfill outside San Francisco‚ which occupies over seventy million cubic feet. It is a sad monument to the excesses of modern society [Gore 151]. One must think this huge reservoir of garbage must be the largest thing ever produced

Bose-Einstein Condensate Story Introduction/Scene 1-- It has been 85 years since Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose first discovered the theory of Bose-Einstein Condensate. It is 2001 now and I and my colleagues‚ Wolfgang Ketterle and Carl Wieman have received the Noble Prize for our experiments that brought about this new phase of matter. Our hard work and dedication will now allow the world an endless amount of advancements in technology on so many levels. Before we get into all that though

history in general‚ has shown us that the right to experiment comes with an equal responsibility to stop and think about what we are doing before we do it. Time and time again we have heard the story of Frankenstein. Equally well known is that of Einstein and his search for the secrets of the atom. Both of these show that reckless experimentation without adequate research can prove deadly due to unforeseen results. Victor Frankenstein provides an excellent example of how not to make decisions.

Bohr? (Maxwell‚ but it’s closer than you might think). Hawking or Heisenberg? (A no-brainer‚ whatever the best-seller lists might say. It’s Heisenberg). But there are two figures who are simply off the charts. Isaac Newton is one. The other is Albert Einstein. If pressed‚ physicists give Newton pride of place‚ but it is a photo finish -- and no one else is in the race. Newton’s claim is obvious. He created modern physics. His system described the behavior of the entire cosmos -- and while others

Albert Einstein Einstein was not comfortable with statistical reality‚ a shortcoming which cost him much happiness‚ and may have deprived the world of many discoveries. His youthful breakthrough is well known. It consisted not only in giving the equation linking mass and energy (the famous e = mc²)‚ but in showing the statistical nature of quantum mechanics. Few meteors have more memorably decorated the mathematical sky. He began working in the Swiss Patent Office in 1902. In 1905‚ his "annus

I think Albert Einstein’s letter to Phyllis Wright was immensely rhetorically effective. The response correctly conveys how great scientists such as himself view important things such as religion. Due to the fact that he is considered one of the greatest scientists of all time‚ he has the credibility to report upon his beliefs without infringing on how other scientists would feel about the issue. He also does something very important in any rhetorical piece of writing‚ he takes into account the opposing

Pollution: A Menace to the World With every tick of the clock‚ changes of all sorts take place in all the corners of the world. They happen almost simultaneously with split second apart from each other. Looking back‚ is this still the very same planet on which are ancestors set their feet? Has man abused nature so much that the face of the earth has totally changed? In the course of our progress‚ humanity‚ as a whole‚ gradually forgets the responsibility of protecting mother

Albert Einstein – General and Special Theory of Relativity First things to consider before this part of the presentation: Space-time continuum = Space + Time In longer terms: Space-time is a flexible fabric. Space and time are deeply connected. Space-time is flexible; it is malleable. Space-time is curved when there is gravity‚ matter‚ energy‚ and momentum. Special: The faster you reach through space‚ the slower you move through time. (?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHjpBjgIMVk General:
