Theories Of The Universe In Stephen Hawking's essay "Is Everything Determined?" he discusses his thoughts on how things are determined in society. Arguments arose in recent times that determinism has been based on science. It almost seems as if a set of laws exist that govern ...

While there are some physicists who believe that black holes do not exist, there is much data to support otherwise. In fact, much evidence seems to support the existence of black holes. For example, NASA's Hubble Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory seem to have discovered "direct ev...

Introduction Special relativity was introduced into the world in 1905 by a man named Albert Einstein. At the time it was a difficult concept to understand because it took place under conditions most people didn't even consider. Technology has greatly improved since the year 1905, not only w...

Fourth Dimension Definition: Philosophy of Time in Relativity: Time in relativity theory modified mathematically and used in combination with the usual three spatial dimensions to specify the location in space and time of events. Dimension: Dimension, in geometry, a property of space. In comm...

Einstein, intelligent or ignorant? This is a question many people ask, but do not take the time to research whether he was intelligent or ignorant. Einstein received his doctorate in 1905 for writing his papers titled "A New Determination Of Molecular Dimensions." Einstein is known very w...

E=mc2- Einstein and his Incredible Mind Albert Einstein. It is a name we all know, the name of perhaps the greatest thinker of the 20th century. He revolutionized the world with his thinking, not just in physics, but also in philosophy, ethics, and religion. Kip Thorne, a California Institute o...

His attempts to identify a grand unification theory that unites everything we know about the physical world and science far exceeds any realm of thinking that has ever graced this earth. Hawking was bor...

Star Trek is a show that has been fascinating audiences for years with impressive devices like holodecks, transporters, and warp drive. But could any of these things ever really be used? According to physics, some of the devices are theoretically possible, but probably not practical. Scotty under...

Many people think of science as a collection of facts and ideas about the world around us. But science is more than of how human beings have brought their individual strengths and weaknesses to the ever going struggle to learn more about our world. Stephen Hawking is one of the best-known and...

The oldest profession in the world is not what would be commonly accepted in society. Before a woman had a chance to sell her body, people looked up at the stars and wondered what they were. They made figures out of the shapes they made. As we advanced through scientific research many other doo...

Black Holes What is a Black Hole? A black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. An example of gravity I will quote from Black Holes FAQ by Ted Bunn. "Suppose that you are standing on t...
