standard model seems consistent with what we can observe and experiment but it still doesn’t cover every phenomena. Indeed‚ the theories concerning gravitation (Newton’s laws and General relativity) return great results when explaining rotation of galaxies‚ gravitational pull‚ etc. however these theories rely upon classical quantum field theory physics and completely break down as we approach the subatomic scale. The standard model mainly relies on the quantum branch of physics which deals with subatomic

Who would have thought a farm girl from Arkansas would now be the senior astrophysicist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Dr. Jennifer Wiseman first found her love of astronomy in the night skies of Arkansas‚ which led her to study at MIT and receive her Ph.D. from Harvard. Currently‚ she is working at NASA‚ and was appointed as the director of the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Dialogue on Science‚ Ethics‚ and Religion. During her lecture‚ Wiseman covered three main

However‚ not all planets have moons. Based upon what we learned in the astronomy course of how everything has a beginning and an ending. Our solar system got created from the cloud that was the Solar Nebula. All stars exist in island called galaxies‚ and galaxies contain old and new stars as well of clumps of dust clouds. These clouds mostly contain hydrogen and some heavier metals. However‚ any elements that is heavier than helium is considered to a metal by Astronomers. The formation of the solar

Hubble’s law states the further away stars and galaxies were‚ the faster they were going.Thefact that most galaxies are moving away suggests that the universe is expanding. 6.Explain the big bang theory. 14 billion years ago‚ the universe exploded from a singularity containing a lot of concentratedenergy. The energy converted into

5 What is crowdsourcing? How does the site Galaxy Zoo manage crowdsourcing? Crowdsourcing is the process of obtaining needed services‚ ideas‚ or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people‚ and especially from an online community‚ rather than from traditional employees or suppliers. While this definition from Merriam Webster is valid‚ a more specific definition is heavily debated. The process of crowdsourcing is often used to subdivide tedious work and has occurred successfully

into believing who actually created life and how it happened. In this episode of Standing Up In The Milky Way‚ it thought me a lot of how science may have created life. For Example‚ Neil introduced the Cosmic address (Earth‚ Solar System‚ Milky Way Galaxy‚ Local Group‚ Virgo Super cluster‚ Observable Universe) which dates back to the Big Bang. “Human eyes see only a sliver of the light that shines on the cosmos‚ but science gives us the power to see what our senses cannot.” Neil uses this quote often

It was simply a cloud a gas. Hawking discusses how he is astonished at the fact everything‚ such as galaxies and other cosmic matter‚ came from this cloud of gas. And it all had to be built atom-by-atom. The amount of atoms involved in this process is unthinkable. Hawking believes that the all this happened because of gravity. After the Big Bang‚ the gas

Sabrina Suazo Honors BIO 1 Dr.Barrios 9/19/13 “Why Science is Important” Many people in present time believe that science is something that is not necessary to learn. I believe that science is something that everyone should know of. Science is everywhere and used for many important things. I think this way because first‚ science is used for medical reasons. Next‚ without science no one would know where humans came from. Lastly‚ science provides many answers about the universe we live in
