The most prominent of them were the number of discoveries and inventions that took place and were of great benefits then and now. One of those was the discovery of antibiotics in 1928‚ by Dr. Alexander Fleming. Before this discovery

drug has risen to be an important drug because of its discovery‚ and the development of the antibiotic. Penicillin could not cure so many people if it was never discovered. Accidents are a major factor of how many discoveries are made‚ the accidents will usually then lead to further research. Jesse Lane from “Not-So Dumb Luck states”‚ “Necessity is not always the mother of invention; sometimes it’s happenstance that begets the most amazing discovery” (121).

EXPLAINING THE WATER-DIAMOND PARADOX One of the most famous puzzles in economic theory is why Diamonds are more expensive than water. In our case we consider GOLD in case of DIAMONDS. Water is essential for life; it is so useful that without its consumption one cannot live or survive.

discovered that the magnetic field seems to be faltering. The magnetic force starts near the South Pole and extends around the earth close to the North Pole and shields us from the radiation produced in outer space. When the sun produces solar wind the magnetic force repels the charged waves and the only evidence we have of the wind is the chemical reaction that causes the auroras‚ which occur at the North and South Pole. Using electronic devices and magnets scientists have discovered that Mars has no

The personal journey’s we undertake and the self-discoveries made along the way are what shape us into the people we become. In Robert Gray’s suite of poetry‚ in particular his poems ‘Journey: The North Coast’ and ‘Late Ferry’ as well as the film ‘Stand By Me’ directed by Rob Reiner‚ we discover that personal quests challenge beliefs and shape us into the people we are destined to be. In these three texts the composers‚ Gray and Reiner‚ through use of language and filmic techniques illustrate that
