Tectonic platesâthe large slabs of rock that divide Earthâs crust so that it looks like a cracked eggshellâjostle about in fits and starts that continuously reshape our planetâand 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 planetâs...

âPeople 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'tâ (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...

The plate structural super cycle is a spin the Earth experiences a time of 400 to 600 million years from where the mainlands were a solitary enormous landmass to now where they are discrete mainlands that are spread the world over. This procedure is rehashed again and again from an enormous landmass to single mainlands and back again and is the thing that structures a cycle or a succession of occasions. Climate change occurs when changes in the earthâs climate...

David Lewis proposed a solution to the Grandfather Paradox; the Paradox which was used to disprove the possibility of time travel. His successful analysation allows for comparable paradoxes to be solved using the same logic. Specifically, there is a reason to believe that Lewis' solution can be used to solve the problem outlined in Earman's logically pernicious self-inhibitor problem. Firstly, I will be exploring what the Grandfather Paradox entails and David Lewis' solution to it. Secondly, I will present the...

Scientific report This report discusses varies types of theories and mainly focuses on the Glass House Mountains. There have been many theories that tried to explain why there are earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains and deep-sea trenches over the surface of the earth. Among all the theories, plate tectonics theory is most scientific and universally accepted. It is based on a broad synthesis of geologic and geophysical data. It deals with dynamics of Earthâs outer shell-the lithosphere that revolutionized Earth sciences by...

Although the theory of time travel has been questioned for several reasons, in this essay I will argue whether the case of the Grandfather Paradox is capable of successfully proving the impossibility of time travel. To better explain the meaning of this theory, an overview is given as to what time travel is in terms of personal and external time, as well as any other terms that may seem unclear. The essay will then focus on providing an understanding of...

Einsteinâs theory of special relativity starts out from an observation that the speed of light is always moving at a constant speed of 300,000 km/s. Despite this great discovery, this idea remains unknown to many people because it serves us no purpose for our everyday lives. Every prediction made by relativity that is able to be tested is true(Davidson, 1990). One of them is clocks slow down as they approach the speed of light and run backwards if they exceed...

Evolution claims : natural selection, Tthe mechanism of survival of the fittest. However, we can attribute some serious human health problems to the 'accidental deviations' in human evolution, such as obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In 2009, a Gallup poll announced that 44% of Americans in the past 100 centuries believed that people like this were created by God (JONES, 2009), and quite a few of them think the design of the body structure is perfect. However, lots of...

Human Evolution has become a very prevalent topic of conversation over the past number of decades, with various ideas of how humans came to be who we are today. From a time where it was once thought that humans were a very close-knit evolutionary group, to now understanding that we do in fact, derive from apes. It is now believed that our closest ancestors are those of the African apes, the chimpanzee and the gorilla. Evidence from Charles Darwin and...

All species are unique and special. Our uniquely evolved intelligence has pushed us as a species to rely on technology â something unique to human evolution. We do many things because we are the original architects behind science, engineering, and culture. From these developments, we have discovered the study of genetics, a process in which we can better understand where humans came from as a species. Genetics can help educate the connection between different peoples and give historians and anthropologists...

Since the discovery of ancient dinosaur fossils, scientists have gone through extensive research to reveal the conditions of their lives on Earth and how many of them truly resided on our planet all those years ago. Yet despite all of our research, there is yet one baffling question we continue to ask today- which is, what exactly caused these daunting creatures to become extinct? Many theories were produced, supported by data collected from discovered fossils, including our own environment, which...

Dinosaurs ruled the land, the ocean, and the sky for about 165 million years. Rex Tyrannosaurus hunts its prey with 50 to 60 banana-sized teeth. The 55-foot dragon from nose to tail frightened the ocean and ate everything they could catch. But 66 million years ago, the world's climate changed dramatically. Suddenly, the earth became colder and darker. All dinosaurs-except for the ancestors of modern birds-and three-quarters of the creatures on Earth are extinct. To this day, scientists are still...

Cosmological observations from the past 50 years show that 85% of the matter content in our Universe is made up of non-luminous matter - commonly known as dark matter(DM). Characterizing the properties of DM is a major open question in physics today. Numerous experiments are underway to directly detect DM. The DEAP-3600 (Dark matter Experiment using Argon Pulse-shape discrimination) collaboration has developed a liquid argon-based detector to measure possible interactions of DM. The DEAP detector is set up 2 km...

Introduction Throughout history a number of alternate theories of evolution have been proposed by equally intelligent scientists, most notably the theories of Jean Baptiste Lamarck, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. As with various theories, many tend to raise the question as to which theory has had the greatest contribution to modern evolutionary theories. Evolution is the one of the fundamental keystones of modern biological theory, through which organisms gradually changes over an extended period of time in response to...

Specific interpretations in Darwinâs theories of evolution pose challenges to modes of proceeding within feminist critique. Since the conception of his theories of natural and sexual selection in the mid to late 19th century, it has been âeasier to imagine Darwinism and feminism as adversaries rather than alliesâ. Women authors in the 19th and early 20th centuries did lots of critical groundwork in revising Darwinâs theories to uncover and challenge the stereotypes that subordinated women, which gained validation under the...
