What happens when the irresistible force meets the immovable object? One of the more convincing solutions has been proposed by Gary V. Smith of Aston University. He explained it as so: “The initial step to answering the superficially paradoxical question of “What would happen if an unstoppable force met an immovable object?” is establishing what is meant by ’immovable’. In order for something to move‚ its position must be measured relative to something else that is not moving. The universe

many different types of physicist out there. there are Particle Physics‚ Astrophysics‚ Theoretical Physics‚ Mechanical Physics‚ Quantum Physics well known as (Quantum Mechanics) lastly there is Biophysics. But the type of physicist i want to be is to be an particle physicist. an particle physicist is a branch of physics dealing with the‚ properties‚ and interactions of elementary particles especially as revealed in experiments using particle accelerators —called also high-energy physics. the idea

neutrinos are‚ how they were discovered and the experiments that are conducted to learn more about them. I learned that neutrinos are subatomic particles with a zero charges and very little mass. There are three types of neutrinos: electron‚ muon and tau. The idea that neutrinos exist was proposed by Wolfgang Pauli. He proposed that there were more than two particles involved in an explosion‚ that along with protons and electrons‚ that a third‚ the neutron‚ was also involved. He stated that energy

Science: Bringing Countries Together Governments in the Middle East are talking about a new particle accelerator named Sesame‚ which‚ they hope‚ will be functional by 2015. Sesame will be the first particle accelerator in the Middle East. Countries as opposed as Turkey‚ Pakistan‚ Cyprus‚ Iran and Israel are all involved. How amazing is it that this scientific community is ignoring political issues and joining together? Even better‚ their governments are supporting them. The name Sesame stands

used in reference to a substance (often a particle) that has rest mass. Matter is also used loosely as a general term for the substance that makes up all observable physical objects.[1][2] All objects we see with the naked eye are composed of atoms. This atomic matter is in turn made up of interacting subatomic particles—usually a nucleus of protons and neutrons‚ and a cloud of orbiting electrons.[3][4] Typically‚ science considers these composite particles matter because they have both rest mass

was appointed Chancellor of Durham University. A Short History of Nearly Everything is a popular science book by American author Bill Bryson that explains some areas of science. Bryson describes the size of the universe‚ and that of atoms and subatomic particles. He then explores the history of geology and biology‚ and traces life from its first appearance to today’s modern humans. He discusses the possibility of the Earth’s being struck by a meteor‚ and reflects on human capabilities of spotting a

One string‚ no particles According to string theory‚ the subatomic particles that make up all matter- protons‚ neutrons and electrons- do not exist. Instead‚ these particles are replaced by small pieces of vibrating string too small to be observed by the technology we have in this century. Each string may be closed in a loop‚ or open as a line

Jordan Bihms The Higgs Boson Jeffrey Kluger‚ senior writer at TIME magazine said that “It is not often that the world stops‚ cheers and generally goes nuts over a new discovery in particle physics.” On July 4th of 2012‚ employees at CERN‚ the European Organization for Nuclear Research‚ rushed out to tell of the news that the Higgs Boson might have been located. The Higgs Boson‚ named after Peter Higgs‚ is said to be what gives atoms in the universe their mass‚ which in itself is a huge step

Albert Einstein became very famous in history for introducing the theory of Relativity‚ birth of the nuclear power‚ nuclear fusion and fission‚ atomic bomb‚ and discovering subatomic particles. Albert Einstein had many accomplishments like: he did research while working as a clerk. He wrote a famous equation which was E=mc2 the equation showed a relationship between matter and energy.

OIL AND WEAR PARTICLE ANLYSIS Abstract: Oil and wear particle analysis is a very powerful tool used to monitor and assess the health of a machine. Since the lubricant in a machine passes through all the internal parts that can wear‚ it is vital to maintain the quality of the lubricant thought oil analysis. Furthermore the presence of wear particles that are deposited in the oil can give a good indication of the wear material and the possible location of the abnormal wear
