“Concentration is the key that opens up the child’s latent treasures within him.

Whether we are learning to tie our shoes‚ write our name‚ wash a car or solve

The sensorial materials "The senses‚ being explorers of the world‚ open the way to knowledge. Our apparatus for educating the senses offers the child a key to guide his explorations of the world‚ they cast a light upon it which makes visible to him more things in greater detail than he could see in the dark‚ or uneducated state."

Age of the Universe The age of the universe is said to be about 13.75 billion years old. The method used in determining this age would be attempting to find the age of chemical elements‚ oldest star clusters‚ as well as white dwarf stars. Scientists also try to find the universes rate of expansion‚ and behavior of globular clusters‚ which are spherical collection of stars. In order to find this‚ scientists can use radioactive decay to determine how old a given mixture of atoms is in rock samples

Life in the Universe In this talk‚ I would like to speculate a little‚ on the development of life in the universe‚ and in particular‚ the development of intelligent life. I shall take this to include the human race‚ even though much of its behaviour through out history‚ has been pretty stupid‚ and not calculated to aid the survival of the species.

The Creation of the Universe In my short life on this planet I have come to question things that many take upon blind faith. We all know that we must some day die; yet we continuously deny the forces at work inside ourselves‚ which want to search out the answers of what may or may not come after. It is far easier for humanity to accept that they will go to a safe haven and be rewarded for their lives with pleasures and fantasies of an unfathomable scale than to question the existence

the idea that there is far more than just one universe and that we constantly interact with many of these “hidden” universes.(1)In 1954‚ a young Princeton University doctoral candidate named Hugh Everett III came up with a radical idea: That there exist parallel universes‚ exactly like our universe. (2)These universes are all related to ours; indeed‚ they branch off from ours‚ and our universe is branched off of others. Within these parallel universes‚ our wars have had different outcomes than the
