  • The Pros And Cons Of Quantum Entanglement

    1252 Words  | 3 Pages

    As you can imagine, since quantum entanglement is a faster than light connection and communication that isn’t stopped by any distance, it can accomplish some pretty amazing tasks. For example, it could introduce faster than light and un-hackable communication. Since one particle can affect the other particle faster than light, all we have to do is figure out how to put information in on one end and see it be received on the other. And since

    hole, and sitting in a tub of water is not going to change you molecular structure and send it back in time by having you float through a wormhole. Time travel is achieved through speed; theoretically you must reach close to light speeds to go forward in time and faster than light speed to go back in time, according to Einstein’s theory of relativity mind you. Einstein’s theory of relativity is the basis of all time travel theories (Davies 1), “The essence of his prediction is that time is not absolute

    amount of time for the light from those stars to reach earth, and in that time those stars may have disappeared. It works both ways. When an inhabitant, if there is one, on a planet around the star that you are looking at looks at our sun he is also seeing the past. So here we are, at the main idea of my speech - the possibility of different times and time travel. The main question here is: How do you connect these 2 times? Well, the key is to go faster than the speed of light, which is 186,283

  • Pros And Cons Of The Big Bang Theory

    1475 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Big Bang Theory is “the beginning of space, time, matter, energy and the expansion of the Universe.” The Universe started off as a small point in the middle of nowhere. It was around ten billion degrees less than a second after starting. As everything expanded and got pushed apart, it all started to cool down. As the particles formed together, they created atoms. Over time, the atoms grouped together so much that they started making stars and galaxies. After an even longer time, the atoms started

  • Time Travel: The Special Relativity Theory Of Space And Time

    1365 Words  | 3 Pages

    question behind the time travel conundrum is if we can travel faster or slower than the normal rate of one per hour. One of the greatest minds of the 20th century, Albert Einstein, developed a theory to explain time. The Special Relativity theory posits that space and time are sides of the same coin: space-time. The speed limit of all things that travel through the space-time continuum is 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometres per hour. Light travels at the speed limit in an empty space. The theory

  • Is it Possible to Travel at the Speed of Light?

    3324 Words  | 7 Pages

    travel at the speed of light? If so, why should humans attempt this and will they? If not, what are some of the limitations of travel at the speed of light and are researchers trying to resolve them? The possibility of light speed travel has gained the attention of researchers and brought the question to mind of how long it will be before people will be speeding between galaxies at light speed like Han Solo and Chewy. Is this being attempted? The possibility of travel at light speed has caught the

  • Example Of Camera Aperture

    1691 Words  | 4 Pages

    exposure determines how light or dark an image will appear when it’s been captured by your camera. Believe it or not, this is determined by just three camera settings, APERTURE, ISO and SHUTTER SPEED (the exposure triangle). EXPOXURE TRAINGLE: APERTURE, ISO and SHUTTER SPEED Aperture: controls the area over which light can enter your camera Shutter speed: controls the duration of the exposure ISO speed: controls the sensitivity of your camera’s sensor to a given amount of light

    621 Words  | 2 Pages

    There have been many changes by the late 1800s that have helped America change politically. For example by making the 13th amendment, the 14th amendment, and the 15th amendment. The 13th amendment was made to help end slavery in the United States. The 13th amendment gave Blacks more rights, it helped end slavery, and it highlighted that Blacks were humans. This helped give Blacks equal rights and they were treated equally and not treated as property. The 14th amendment states that everyone born in

    Hypothesis: Those running with music will experience a slightly higher speed increase (2-4%) than those who ran without music. While I believe that both groups will have increased speed rates on their second runs, the music group will have a more dramatic and noticeable increase. Materials: • Stopwatch • 40 yards on a grassy area • Healthy participant • Headphones • High-energy running music (Light, San Holo, 160 BPM) Procedure: Runners are split into two groups, and both groups run a 40-yard

    as we rotate, facing towards and away from the sun. The seasons are not changing, they are disappearing. Being replaced by their successor due to the Earth’s tilt, either leaning closer or further from the sun’s warmth and light. Such as these, time may be more intricate than was first believed. There is no time like the present, literally, you do not live in the present. You actually live slightly in the past. Your brain is constantly processing everything you experience so in reality, you are really

    over exaggerated and false. Lightsabers are made of light and light doesnt have mass. This means they can not cut through things. Although some people say that the lightsabers are made out of plasma, they still have to reach the temperature of at least 200 degrees. This again would make it impossible, considering the fact people wouldn't even be able to hold it. In the article “scientific inaccuracies,” the author states that “it is possible that light can be manipulated into a laser which can cut things

    In 2006 he began to formulate his own theory on time and the Universe. The theory he formulated is based on quantum physics rather than relativity, as Einstein’s theory is based on. “A strange fact about quantum physics is that indeterminate future outcomes are seemingly governed by probabilities in the present. Quantum objects exist in "superpositions" of more than one state until such time as we measure them, when they adopt one or other of their possible forms. The most notorious illustration

  • Dillard’s Moving Mountain: Mapping a Landscape in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

    1248 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Shadows lope along the mountain’s rumpled flanks; they elongate like root tips, like lobes of spilling water, faster and faster. A warm purple pigment pools in each ruck and tuck of the rock; it deepens and spreads, boring crevasses, canyons. As the purple vaults and slides, it tricks out the unleafed forest and rumpled rock in gilt, in shape-shifting patches of glow. These gold lights veer and retract, shatter and glide in a series of dazzling splashes, shrinking, leaking, exploding. The ridge’s

  • How Computer and Cell Phone Use Affects Sleep

    829 Words  | 2 Pages

    night made me fall asleep a lot faster than playing on my cell phone at night. I’ll be reading my favorite book, The Outsiders, and only be able to keep my eyes open for thirty minutes or less, then have the book fall out of my hand while I doze off to slumberland or coo myself to sleep like an owl. Then on the nights I do not read, I’ll play on my phone, check Instagram, and watch some Netflix on my computer. On those nights, I find myself going to sleep a lot later than nights I read. So I was not

    At first they didn’t know what to do, the data looked unbelievable, so they took the data to the scientists. The data was good. The star had seen dips in light by up to twenty-two percent. The largest planet in our solar system causes a drop in light of one percent. What ever

  • Warp Core In The Film Star Trek

    1931 Words  | 4 Pages

    Core is defined as a faster-than-light transportation device. This definition make a Warp Core an impossible device. Such a device cannot exist, simply by the fact that nothing can move faster-than the speed of light. Either the definition of a Warp Core is not correct, or such a device cannot possibly exist. According to the Laws clearly defined in Relativity, it is impossible to move faster than the speed of light simple because everything is always moving at the speed of light. Why is this true

  • space time

    801 Words  | 2 Pages

    space-time has been generally explained as what the name stands for. As in, space-time means the relationship between space and time. That generality isn’t helpful in the process of learning and understanding space-time. Therefore, one must examine further than its original definition to learn what space-time really is. As a result, in further study, the space-time continuum is connected to a special theory of relativity. Nonetheless, space time continuum is where space and time are combined into a mathematical/physical

    including gravity and light. The way the plant grows depends on the distribution of auxin in the plant tissue. Auxin is made at the tip of the stem, and then flows downwards. Auxin is vital to the survival of plants because it allows the plant to photosynthesize as much as possible. Light destroys auxin, so when it strikes the stem it kills the auxin on the side nearest the light source, causing an imbalance of auxin. Because more auxin is present on the side facing away from the light source, that side

    Question How does the concentration of glucose affects the photosynthesis rate of a spinach leaf when exposed to a LED light source? Hypothesis My hypothesis is that when the concentration of glucose is glucose increasing the faster the rate of photosynthesis will occur.The LED light will make the photosynthesis work even faster so the spinach leaves will probably go up faster than normal.I think that the glucose will help the rate of photosynthesis because it will improve the plant in growth and
