Our changing universe Candidates need to understand that: For many centuries‚ our ancestors thought the Earth was the centre of the universe. Science has since taught us that this is incorrect. We know that the Earth lies within the Milky Way galaxy (a group of stars)‚ which is located somewhere within the universe. Scientists have discovered that the Sun is one star in the Milky Way.

Reid’s Imperfect Identity Theory and Theseus’ Ship February 11‚ 2013 PP111-B Dr. Dwayne Moore Word Count: 1‚021 Theseus’ Ship set sail with a cargo of lumber‚ and each day‚ Theseus used the lumber to replace parts of the ship. By the time it arrived at its destination‚ the cargo was empty and all the parts of the ship had been replaced. Was it still the same ship? And if not‚ at what point did it stop being the same ship? Was it when the first change was made? When Theseus replaced half

Unit 2 Lesson 3 The kinetic theory of matter explains that matter is made up of particles‚ which are in constant motion resulting in the different states of matter. Matter is made of constantly moving particles‚ which tells us how the matter in solids‚ liquids‚ and gases behaves. When molecules bump into each other‚ they do not gain or lose energy‚ they only transfer it‚ so there is no net energy change (law of the conservation of energy). In a solid‚ molecules vibrate in a fixed position
