Arthur Miller's Creation of Tension and Conflict at the End of Each Act in A View from a Bridge Arthur Miller creates a lot of tension towards the end of act 1 in a variety of different ways.

mountain pass, and beyond there is a different country.” -Robert Oppenheimer. The atomic bomb affected the world in many ways, but a significant amount of effects were bad.

Scientists believe that one hundred billion years ago the Earth, the Sun and all the planets of the solar system were cold dust particles until these particles were attracted to one another.

Integration between the Christian Creation Story and the Scientific Big Bang Theory In our modern age of scientific revolution there seems to be a growing tension between the scientific and religious understanding of this world.
