us. Gilbert offered an explanation for why in 2009‚ Americans seemed to be growing unhappier despite relative fiscal luxury. Gilbert said‚ “..human beings find uncertainty more painful than the things they’re uncertain about.” His point is that ambiguity makes us nervous‚ which is an assertion that agrees with my own experiences. Uncertainty is a major cause of unhappiness‚ on both a universal and private scale. For an example of the former‚ the situation Gilbert wrote about‚ in which Americans were

Determine the uncertainty in the path of flight of an 8.040 g bullet if its velocity is 360 ± 1 ms-1. (Hint: the mass is known with high precision therefore Δmv = mΔv) [3] b. Determine the uncertainty in the position of an electron if the velocity is 5.80 ± 0.02 × 106 ms-1. (Use the hint given above) [3]

The time I received my diploma‚ I scheduled a tour to Nanjing University‚ known as the top university for Astronomy in China‚ to prepare future study about astrophysics. The lectures impressed me an overall prospective about Astrophysics and their enthusiasm strengthened my focus on this research area. Then I participated in a workshop hosted by National Astronomical Observatory of China (NAOC). NAOC complemented my knowledge of Technologies and Methods in Radio Astronomy which I supposed to be necessary
