I always wonder how my future will be or is there a way to go back in the past to change things, the way I want it to be. This leads me to do research about time travel. To start, let’s dig into what is time? In the ancient period, time measurements were done by making observations of cycles of the natural world, using patterns of changes from day to night and from season to season to build calendars. But...

The exploration of the universe is endless, and the duty of physics is to understand our origins by understanding the universe. Over the course of decades of science, great scientists have worked hard to advance physics and gain a better understanding of human existence. However, what tools do physicists use to carry out this magnificent project? Throughout history, ancient thinkers, in order to study the existence of the universe, created a series of guesses and perspectives, which are combined to...

As I think of Time, all I can come up with is that it passes. It is irreversible and just only moves forward. Why do we need time though: to measure or calculate a duration that has been taken to do something. We use seconds, minutes, hours, days etc. to measure time in our daily lives. The definition that I just mentioned for Time may be sufficient to understand it in the context of daily lives but to really understand...

When you look up at the sky in a clear night, you see a bunch of stars shining in the sky. All the starlight are unknown worlds waiting for us to study. After reading The Illustrated Brief of The Time by Steven Hawking, I saw the mysteries of the space and time. Albert Einstein’s formula E=MS shut the door of time travel down. It means that we need more energy to reach higher speed. Time travel requires light speed to...

The Next Generation’s big screen outings are a mixed bag, to put it nicely, but the best film by far is the time-bending Star Trek: First Contact. Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-E travel to the past to prevent the cybernetic Borg from mucking with Earth’s history. It’s a good film all by itself, but even more excellent if you’re an invested Star Trek fan. We get to see huge, never-before-seen moments in the Star Trek universe,...

Introduction The concept of time travel has been one of dreams, fantasies, and the imagination. What would you do if you traveled to the past? Would you make corrections or changes to your past, maybe fix what you regret, what if we had more time to do what we can not: these are some of the questions that people ask themselves when thinking of what life would be like if time travel was possible. Thousands of books and movies have...

John Wyndham’s book title is slightly ambiguous due to the fact that he invented the word for his book, but it originates from the word “chrysalis”, a stage in the butterfly life cycle. The Chrysalids is a book about the aftermath of a nuclear war, and the struggle of people who are different. The novel follows three main groups, the people of Waknuk, the Fringe people, and the Sealanders. Every group represents a stage in the cycle: caterpillar, chrysalis, and...

How much can a parent sacrifice for their child? How should a person handle the gray area between right and wrong? These were just some of the questions I had in my mind as I read through the book. The Hand Bringer written by Christopher J. Penington is a story of sacrifice, family, friendship, and love entangled with time travel. The Hand Bringer started with the introduction of Peter Hadrian, a member of the police force, in the middle of...

Evolution is a theory or scientific notion which conveys the idea that all life in our world has developed over time and continues to change by a process known as natural selection. Every living creature has participated in the evolution of their species, that’s right, even us humans. An animal whose evolution goes back as far as 30 million years is our very large furry friend, the bear. Bears are classified in the Ursidae family which includes eight altering species...

The Continental Drift Continental drift is the suggestion that over long periods of geological time, the continents of the Earth have moved apart from each other and had once formed almost one single land mass known as Pangaea. Whilst the theory that the continents had moved over time had been speculated upon before, the theory wasn’t properly developed until 1912. Wegner’s Theory and Evidence: The theory of Continental Drift was first proposed in 1912 by the German geologist Alfred Wegner...

Abstract The study of geomorphology is an academic discipline related in explaining the earth’s surface and to understand the processes which create and modifies landforms. The geomorphology textbooks focusses on the detailed processes which takes places in the weathering of rocks and the transport of debris as landforms are created and destroyed. The global inspection reveals an imbalance of areas of lands and sea and almost infinite variation of shapes which illustrates the continental and oceanic areas. Geographers require the...

The article “ Flight of the Kiwi” will explain how large flightless birds overcame the water barriers and dispersed around the world. Also, the article explores the idea of if the Kiwi bird came first or the egg. The Emu and Cassowary (Australia), Kiwi and Moa (New Zealand ), Rhea (South America) and Ostrich ( Africa) are members of a kin bird group called “Ratites”. The answers were proposed by Australasian scientist through countless research projects and gathering accurate evidence....

Africa has some of the greatest history, and physical geography. From jungles to desserts, and colonialism to urbanization. Not all events are good ones, especially with the rough terrain that African had to endure, but also the good that came out of it from raw materials, but also involved exploitation. There are positive and negatives in the geographies of Africa. Ultimately, Africa has a beautiful context of life and history behind its luscious trees. The main concepts that help round...

The advancement and knowledge on the plate tectonics theory was a very important asset to biogeography, it provided a foundation for our understanding of our ever-evolving planet. The theory provided our understanding on the landmasses that inhabit this world as well as the ocean basins. Paleontologists refer to the total of Earth’s dynamic as TECO events. In this essay I will describe more in-depth about the Earth’s dynamic structure and how plate tectonics affected biotas. Starting with the geological timescale,...

For millions of years, the earth has never stopped moving, internally and externally. The features of our earth are continuously changing and have been doing that since the formation of the earth. Today, geologists present a scientific theory justify the movement of the earth’s plates called tectonic plates which divide the earth’s crust into plates and boundaries (Continental Movement by Plate Tectonics 2019). This report is written to give information about the four types of boundaries and their effect on...

Plate tectonics is a scientific theory describing the large-scale movement of seven large plates and the movements of smaller plates of the Earth’s lithosphere. Alfred Wegener, a geologist in the 19-20th century, discovered the theory of plate tectonics in 1915, when he also proposed the theory of continental drift and Pangea. The country of Iceland sits on two plate boundaries (Eurasian and North American) which are divergent. This means that the two plates were moving apart, then the space was...

The earthquakes that rocked Haiti and Chile were caused by the Earth’s shifting tectonic plates. Researchers have developed a new model (MORVEL for ‘mid-ocean ridge velocities’) of the Earth to predict the movement of one plate relative to another (Sherwood, 2019). This new research project by scientists allows us humans to predict what will happen in the future. We can use this to our advantage of our planet to help save many lives that would be lost due to natural...

The glasshouse mountains are volcanic peaks located in the Sunshine Coast, halfway between the hinterland and the coast. Unlike most volcanoes formed on plate boundaries, the mountains are bye-products of the East Australian hotspot. Hotspots are formed when anomalously hot magma, called thermal plumes, rise from Earth’s core into the mantle. Hotspots then develop on top of the plumes in the asthenosphere and melt the surrounding rock, creating a weak spot. The magma then rises through the cracks and erupts,...

The claim that “Destructive earthquakes are only generated by interactions at the plate boundaries” only states that earthquakes are generated at plate boundaries (interplate), however, there are also earthquakes that do occur away from plate boundaries, known as intraplate earthquakes. Intraplate earthquakes are caused by immense stress within a plate and originate from ancient fault lines and/or rift zones. Earthquakes are measured by using an instrument called a seismograph, determining the magnitude from 1-10 on the Richter Scale. The magnitude...

Tectonic plates—the large slabs of rock that divide Earth’s crust so that it looks like a cracked eggshell—jostle about in fits and starts that continuously reshape our planet—and possibly foster life. These plates ram into one another, building mountains. They slide apart, giving birth to new oceans that can grow for hundreds of millions of years. They skim past one another, triggering earth-shattering quakes. And they slip under one another in a process called subduction, sliding deep into the planet’s...

“People who think about time travel stories sometimes think that going back in time would be fun because you would have all the information you needed to be much more astute than the people there; when the truth is, of course, you wouldn’t” (Octavia E. Butler). The novels, Kindred, written by Octavia E. Butler, and Flight, authored by Sherman Alexie, both involve the main topic of time travel. The book, Kindred, presents the story of an African-American woman who travels...

Time travel is well-known from sci-fi and has fascinated philosophers and physicist alike due to the metaphysical issues that arise from it: the nature of time, causation, and modality. It’s broadly acknowledged that it is possible to time travel to the future, however the possibility of time travel to the past has continued to be intensely debated because of the paradoxes of time that can occur. In this paper, I will argue that time travel into the past is possible...

The modern man is a time traveler in all aspects because mentally, humans project themselves into the past and the future by revisiting their memories. It is through these revising and projecting that humans have managed to invent future and explore possible events with anticipation and desire. Typically, the concept of time machine invokes the imagination of images of that is often used in the science-fiction storylines. But from the general theory of relativity advanced by Albert Einstein, which explains...
