For almost two years‚ we have been in search of what we believed were time capsules‚ hidden away between the years of 1400‚ when the Renaissance period started‚ and 1750 which marks the end of the Baroque period. We are pleased to announce that our nearly twenty-four year search has ended in the discovery of two such capsules. Each of these capsules contains information‚ vital to the understanding of past cultures and their origins‚ and necessary to the development of culture today. In what

Western Industrial Revolution Name University Abstract The Scientific Revolution changed industrial productivity in the West in several ways. Changes in thoughts and beliefs and social and institutional organization were happening daily starting around 1550. The Scientific Revolution began with Nicholas Copernicus’ assertion of heliocentric cosmos and ended with Isaac Newton’s universal laws and a mechanical universe. The Industrial Revolution began in Britain for several reasons. The economy

The water came from outer space to Earth. The water was brought to the planet for the comets. The water has a different structure for each state (gas‚ liquid‚ ice). Liquid water has random molecules. On the other hand‚ the ice has a more stable structure. The different structure between ice and liquid water can explain why the ice has less density than liquid water. Temperature is responsible for increasing the dissolution of components‚ and electrical conductivity. Pure water is not a good conductor

Indian Leadership Culture Indian culture is a curious conglomeration of beliefs‚ some which are religious‚ and some which are demographic in nature. The challenge is to strike a balance between the seemingly conflicting demands of the various groups of people. The composition of the Indian Armed Forces in general and the Indian Navy in particular‚ reflects India’s diversity. Any ship or establishment‚ irrespective of size would invariably have personnel hailing from diverse religious‚ linguistic

Of the basic assumptions and beliefs common to philosophers and intellectuals of this period‚ perhaps the most important was an abiding faith in the power of human reason. The age was enormously impressed by Isaac Newton’s discovery of universal gravitation. If humanity could so unlock the laws of the universe‚ God’s own laws‚ why could it not also discover the laws underlying all of nature and society? People came to assume that through a judicious use of reason‚ an unending progress would be possible-progress
