Stanley was innocent of the crime for which he was convicted but because of the curse‚ he

Sacrificial Friendship In the book holes‚ written by Louis Sachar‚ Stanley Yelnats the main character is a poor‚ friendless‚ over weighted boy who is constantly bullied at school. He is arrest one day for a crime that did not commit. Stanley is therefore condemned to jail or to be sent to a place called Camp Green Lake for eighteen months as he is unable to prove his innocence. Stanley chooses Camp Green Lake. But upon arriving in the camp‚ Stanley discovers that it is actually a barren and desolate

makes me wonder the most‚ is the existence of black holes B. Statement of topic and it’s significance -- Black holes are one of the most amazing‚ yet most confusing phenomenon of modern astronomy. C. THESIS STATEMENT: -- In order to fully grasp the understanding of black holes‚ you first have to understand the formation of a black hole‚ its known nature and how it affects its environment‚ and the separate phenomenon(s) that occur within a black hole. II. Body A. Main Point A (FORMATION)

BLACK HOLE Introduction: "A luminous star‚ of the same density as the Earth‚ and whose diameter should be two hundred and fifty times larger than that of the Sun‚ would not‚ in consequence of its attraction‚ allow any of its rays to arrive at us; it is therefore possible that the largest luminous bodies in the universe may‚ through this cause‚ be invisible." -- Pierre Laplace‚ The System of the World‚ Book 5‚ Chapter VI (1798). Evolution of Stars 1. Clouds of Hydrogen begin condensing

out‚ you can’t see a blackhole‚ it’s pretty much invisible. But there are telescopes with special tools that help us find blackholes. Once something gets trapped in a black hole it then continuosly gets stretched. Most people think that Albert Einstien first discovered black hole in 1916‚ but he only revived a theory about black holes. In 1783‚ a scientist named John Mitchell developed a theory whether if gravity could be so strong that not even light particles could escape. Blackholes can vary in

impossibility to mine energy from black holes. It is common knowledge that the Earth’s resources are being burned through at an alarming rate. This issue has lead to many people seeking other sources of energy. However‚ the article poses the question‚ what happens after humanity find the new form of energy and exhaust that? Some propose should the descendants of the human race seek help from the stars. Ironically‚ the most energetic stars are the dead ones. Black holes are "dead" supernovas that

Hawking originally studied at Oxford University in England studying physics even though he would have preferred math. He moved onto Cambridge University to work on his PhD in cosmology. Hawking’s career has focused upon the cosmic entities known as black holes‚ and has extended to specialized areas such as quantum gravity‚ particle physics‚ and supersymmetry. A field of study that Stephen Hawking is known for is cosmology. Cosmology is the metaphysical study of the origin and nature of the universe

The Study of Celestial Objects When we were born‚ we did not know how vast the world really is‚ we were convinced that this Earth was the center‚ the only place in this world. However‚ growing up we come to accept that Earth is just a piece of the infinite universe‚ and one might even say Earth is not even an atom compared to the cosmos. It took humans thousands of years to discover the reaches of the Earth‚ we finally were able to capture the whole planet and create a map of Earth. Yet the universe

Hawking is a genius. He became a leading figure in cosmology and quantum mechanics in a short period of time. He did this while battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He is mostly known for his work in developing the understanding of the way black holes behave‚ as well as the origins of the universe. He was popularized when A Brief History of Time was released‚ which described his life and what he had accomplished. Hawking was gifted in science from the very start. He deduced by himself that
