The Physics of Rainbows As we are coming down to the final weeks of winter‚ the days are getting longer‚ and it is slowing starting to warm up. We are all looking forward to springtime‚ with its promises of flowers and rain. Along with this rain brings reminders of rainbows. As Donald Ahrens says in the Meteorology Today magazine‚ “rainbows are one of the most spectacular light shows observed on earth (About).” In fact‚ one of the best ways to view a rainbow at it’s utmost

A common complaint many students have regarding GPA is that it doesn’t measure intelligence. I understand this on a basic level‚ yet I contend that it does measure work ethic and through that‚ intelligence. In the same way‚ I’m proud of my GPA not because of the connotation that I must be smart but because it describes my work ethic: who I am. Outside academia‚ most other numbers are irrelevant. An employer never asks for ACT scores on an application; no one outside the military cares for the ASVAB

Jonathan Chen Space Exploration There are many reasons on why space exploration has become a necessity for us‚ as the amount of money being invest on space exploration‚ has increased drastically. From 1950’s the amount of money spend was 89 million which was a large sum of money back then. While we move up in the years the amount of money on space exploration increases‚ for instance in the year 2010 it was the most amount of money spent on space exploration than any other year. A total of 18‚724
