What I’d like to do this week is talk about another popular credo‚ one that plays a very large role in blinding people nowadays to the shape of the future looming up ahead of us all just now. In an interesting display of synchronicity‚ it came up in a conversation I had while last week’s essay was still being written. A friend and I were talking about the myth of progress‚ the facile and popular conviction that all human history follows an ever-ascending arc from the caves to the stars; my friend

THE SOLAR SYSTEM T The Solar System consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects gravitationally bound in orbit around it‚ all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The vast majority of the system’s mass (well over 99%) is in the Sun. Of the many objects that orbit the Sun‚ most of the mass is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic

Environmental Benefits of Solar Power [pic] The conservation of non-renewable energy resources Photovoltaic (PV) solar power eases the usage of diminishing natural resources such as oil‚ coal and gas. Today‚ we live in an exceptionally demanding environment where the use of energy is growing at an alarming rate. It is vital to preserve the earth’s fossil fuels and other natural resources‚ not only for a healthier environment but also for the ability of future generations to meet their own

Abstract: Solar energy is quite simply the energy produced directly from the sun and collected elsewhere‚ namely the Earth. Photovoltaic technology directly converts solar energy into electricity. Photovoltaic thin film solar cells are easy to handle ‚ inexpensive and also easy to use. Thin film panel is flexible and can tolerate a bullet hole without failing and can greatly increase the surface area and the absorption coefficient needed to generate electricity. This paper will discuss the advantages

The Solar System The majority of the solar system is made up of the sun and all of the planets that orbit it. There are also moons‚ comets‚ asteroids‚ dust‚ gas‚ and dwarf planets. The sun makes up about 98 percent of our solar system. Because of the suns large mas it pulls every thing in the solar system towards it. The planets orbit around the sun because of the sun pulling it towards it and the planets trying to fly outer space at the same time‚ which balances it out. It was once believed that

on the desalination of water. The desalination of water is very important to human and animal life. For centuries humans have used the process of desalination to obtain water safe for consumption.Various methods of desalination have been produced however only some of those methods are widely used today. Although there are numerous methods of desalination all of them involve three liquid streams: the saline feedwater (seawater or brackish water)‚ low-salinity product water‚ and very saline concentrate

Atmospheric Heating‚ Weather Fluxes‚ and Their Effects on Our Health The article “Is Global Warming Harmful to Health?” states that not many scientists believe in the idea that the atmosphere is heating up. They do‚ however‚ believe that the rate of heating is hastening and that the impacts of the temperature change could begin to be a problem. Problems such as: glacier melts‚ flooding‚ oceans warming up‚ a shift in arable lands‚ and sporadic‚ unpredictable weather patterns and storms. And these
