I believe that of all the changes that swept over Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries‚ the most widely influential was an epistemological transformation that we call the "scientific revolution." In the popular mind‚ we associate this revolution with natural science and technological change‚ but the scientific revolution was‚ in reality‚ a series of changes in the structure of European thought itself: systematic doubt‚ empirical and sensory verification‚ the abstraction of human knowledge

Mercury‚ the planet closest to the sun‚ may be shrinking due to the discoveries of MESSENGER. Large scraps were formed when Mercury’s interior cooled‚ causing the planet to contract. Subsequently‚ Mercury is the smallest of all the eight planets in our solar system. Additionally‚ Mercury is a little bigger than Earth’s moon‚ but not by much. Despite Mercury’s small size‚ the planet itself is very heavy. Comparatively‚ Mercury is a lot heavier compared to Earth’s moon. Mercury is named after a

The name comes from the famous Italian scientist Galileo Galilei who‚ among other things‚ studied the lights around the year 1600. In Rome‚ were Galileo was living‚ the red color dominates‚ but the most common color is actually greenish-yellow‚ which I will cover later in the presentation.

The Enigma of the Fastest Path “Mathematics directs the flow of the universe‚ lurks behind its shapes and curves‚ holds the reins of everything from tiny atoms to the biggest stars.” ― Edward Frenkel‚ Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality I would often wonder what would it be like to travelling at the speed of light. It could possibly only be a mere aspiration because I realized that achieving that speed was close to impossible. Definitely not a job worthy of a 17-year-old. It is no espionage
