... Rebuttal Article: “Hidden Messages in Water” Dr. Masaru Emoto is very well-known of his experimentation about water crystal formation. He claims that external environment and human consciousness affect the molecular structure of water as shown in crystal formation. According to him, “We start out life being 99% water, as fetuses. When we are born, we are 90% water, and by the time we reach adulthood we are down to 70%. If we die of old age, we will probably be about 50% water. In other words, throughout our lives we exist mostly as water. From a physical perspective, humans are water. When I realized this and started to look at the world from this perspective, I began to see things in a whole new way.” (Emoto 2004) Studies behind Hidden Messages in Water Dr. Masaru Emoto started his studies of molecular structure of water by freezing and looking at the crystal. He used different kind of water: tap, natural and distilled. He exposed distilled water to classical music and metal music. He claimed, “All the classical music that we exposed the water to resulted in well-formed...

...30 September 2015 Black Abyss Black holes make up some of the most mysterious objects in space. Black holes go around our way of thinking by generating mindbending illusions and defying physics. They possess different laws that to any ordinary human being would seem impossible. Since their discovery, scientists conduct experiment after experiment trying to unlock their greatest secrets. Bundles of information has been discovered about these dark, massive holes in space, but even the greatest minds in the world can not debunk them. The idea of black holes appeared in the eighteenth century by John Michell and PierreSimon Laplace, but the term black holes did not come until 1969 by an American physicist John Wheeler. John Michell and PierreSimon believed that if an object in space fit the size and density criteria, it would then have a gravity so strong that nothing could escape its pull ( “How Do We Know That Black Holes Exist?”) . For example, if you live on Earth, you would need to travel at least seven miles per second to escape its gravity, but if you dwell on the sun you would need to travel 380 miles per second to escape its gravity. Black holes get so large and dense that an object would need to travel faster than the speed of light to escape it ("Black Hole," UXL Encyclopedia of Science ). As of today nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so if you get too close to a black hole, goodbye. Sigmund 2 Black holes...

...Black holes are one of the most mysterious discoveries that many scientists like Albert Einstein solved after many years of work. Black holes can suck anything that gets close to the center of a black hole, known as the event horizon. These monstrous things can slow down time and can do many other things like sucking in anything that can travel in the speed of light. Either way we know what black holes can cause the one question that every person may ask is, “how do black holes form in space?” So from all the scientists that have been working on this question, the one answer they have is that black holes form when a massive star collapses upon itself which can cause a supernova that can blast the star in various pieces into space. WHAT IS A...

...A LOOK AT BLACK HOLES AND THEIR COUNTERPARTS For as long as the Earth has been around, humans have looked up in awe at the night sky and wondered about the intricate pieces that make up what is our universe. For most of Earth’s history, the universe only encompassed what was visible to the naked eye. In 1609, however, everything changed when telescopes were invented and the realm of the universe opened to unveil new and mysterious aspects never before seen. Interestingly enough, though technology has grown to gigantic proportions, there is still a lot we don’t know about the universe, and black holes, white holes, and wormholes are just a few of the aspects we still have much to learn about. At this point in time, astronomists have yet to actually see a black hole. So how do they know that black holes do in fact exist? And how can they deduce that related beings like white holes and wormholes do (or do not) exist? Through careful deduction and intensive examination, scientists like Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and many others have been able to give insight into the deep, enigmatic universe and exactly what these mysterious beings are all about. Einstein's general theory of relativity describes gravity as a curvature of space time caused by the presence of matter. If the curvature is fairly weak, Newton's laws of gravity can explain most of what is observed, for example, the regular motions of the planets. Very massive or dense objects generate much stronger gravity. The most...

...Black Holes There are many black holes in our universe. They are spaces, having an intense gravitational field where no matter or radiation can escape. The question is, how do black holes form? How big or small can black holes be? Can a black hole destroy our planet Earth? Lastly how are our scientists studying the black holes so we know nothing will go wrong? A black hole will not let anything inside it escape due to the powerful gravitational force. Scientists believe that the smallest black hole was formed when the universe first began. A different type of black hole is called a “stellar” black hole. It can be up to twenty times bigger than the Sun’s mass. There are a lot of stellar black holes in Earth’s Galaxy, the Milky Way. A stellar...

...mysterious objects in the universe, Black holes are one of the main interest of research for astronomers and astrophysics. These things consume everything that comes in contact, or near them. Now scientist have come up with some information on how they work, how they are formed, and what they do even how big they can get. How are black holes formed and what causes them to form? A black hole forms when any object reaches a certain critical density, and its gravity causes it to collapse to an almost microscopic small point. Stellar-mass black holes form when a massive star can no longer produce energy in its core but may still produce some light but not as much as a sun. With the radiation from its nuclear reactions to keep the star "puffed up," gravity causes the core to collapse and become that point. The star's outer layers may...

...scientific genius of living and still working today. Most legends are made when people die and when Stephen does die he will become a legend. Until then he is a leaving breathing genius. He hasn’t had it as easy as most but has done well combating his many struggles through life. Desoite all of these troubles Stephen Hawking has been able to rise above and has been a valuable part of the physics and cosmotology studies we have had on this planet. With all of his struggles and triumphs, Stephen Hawking has had along history and a lot of time has been dedicated to finding answers to some of the questions we ask but would take a genius to answer and research. Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, at the end of World War II. He was born in Oxford, England but his family didn’t live there originally. They moved there due to the war because it was supposedly a safer place to have a child. His father was a researcher of tropical medicine so research and studies were in his genes. His father was hoping he would follow in his footsteps but all Stephen wanted to do was be a mathmetician. Needless to say, Stephen and his family stayed in Oxford and that’s where he grew up. Stephen entered Oxford University in 1959 to study mathematics primarily. He was a very bright student in which case e didn’t have to work very hard in school. He was very social and Oxford proved to be little challenge for him. He even took up sports by joining the rowing team. Oxford didn’t have a very advanced...

...depicted in so many movies, lingering in many minds, can time travel really exist? Whether walking through a portal or spaceship speeding faster than the speed of light, if time traveling is indeed possible it will be considered physics, at a higher level and intelligence at which humans would not be capable of fully understanding for at least a few hundred years. Albert Einstein, Michio Kaku, and many other scientists and physicist alike believed in the expanding of the universe as one that curves on itself in three-dimensions. Through the bending of the universe, it is thought to be some loop holes or shortcuts allowing one to cut or travel through time. Black holes or wormholes are considered to have the power or the ability to do this. Speed has an important role in the rate at which and how we experience time. Time passes more slowly the closer you approach the cosmic speed limit which we call the speed of light. For example, the hands of a clock in a speeding train move more slowly than those of a stationary clock. A human passenger wouldn't feel the difference, but at the end of the trip the speeding clock would be slowed by billionths of a second. If a train could travel 99.999 percent of light speed, only a year would pass onboard for every 223 years back at the train station. Time on earth is much slower than time in space, imagine there are two clocks synchronized, both ticking exactly the same, down to millionth of a second. Both clocks are traveling in...

...Top 10 Biggest Things In The Universe Do you think the pyramids are big? How about the Burj Dubai? Both of those are nothing compared to Mt. Everest. They’re all huge when you look at them from a human or ‘earthly’ perspective. These objects however, are microscopic when compared to some of the things that exist in our universe. Let’s explore them. 10) Largest Asteroid Ceres is the largest asteroid we know of. It is almost 600 miles in diameter which makes it as large as California. It’s massive enough that its gravity forces it to have a spherical shape and also shares the title of ‘Dwarf Planet’. It’s so big, that it contains 25% of the mass of the asteroid belt. If you took all the asteroids in the asteroid belt and glued them together, that new object would only be about 2.5 times as big as Ceres. 9) Largest Planet Located in the constellation Hercules, planet TRES4 is 70% larger than Jupiter in diameter, but has only 80% of Jupiter’s mass. Because of how close it orbits to its sun, it is thought that the intense heat expands the gasses that make up this planet, resulting in an almost ‘marshmallow-like’ density. It’s holds the title of the largest planet we’ve discovered so far. Update: Science is never finished. Since this list was compiled, observations of an exoplanet called WASP-17b suggest that it is even bigger than TRES4. Despite its radius being twice that of Jupiter’s, it only has half the mass. This makes it even “fluffier” than TRES4. 8) Largest Star ...

...Black Holes – Bending Time and Space Authors Note Explaining this phenomenon would literally take hundreds of pages, so I will try to be brief but yet provide meaningful explanations. It must be noted that some details must be dealt with in an abstract manner to avoid intricate mathematical explanations. Theory Definition Black holes are considered by many to be the most bizarre objects to ever exist in this universe. It is a theorized phenomenon in which an object or a region of space possesses an overwhelmingly large gravitational force to the point where even light gets pulled inside the hole. Generally speaking, for a region of space to possess a large gravitational field, it must be very dense in terms of mass concentration. Just like the name suggests, a black hole, in reality, is indeed black colored. This is due to the fact that neither matter nor light can escape from it, rendering the surface area of the hole being black. Black holes generally form when massive stars collapse at the end of their life time. History Background 19th century: English geologist John Mitchell suggested it would be possible that a gravitational force, extraordinarily large, could in fact bend and pull light. This judgment led other scientists later to relate the Newtonian gravity as they knew it, with time, light, and massive objects. 20th century: It wasn’t until the genius of Albert Einstein came around with his general and special relativity theories that we have had a proper...

...The earth and space Did you ever wonder what was outside our atmosphere? Well I’m going to tell you the many things that are in our solar system and maybe beyond it. We will start with our moon, its shape resembles an egg, and has been around for 4.5 billion years. Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. The year was 1969 and the mission was called Apollo 11. After all the excitement from their landing Armstrong made a statement when he stepped out of his aircraft. “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The moon has little to no atmosphere, and has a weak gravitation. The surface of the moon has not changed in 3 billion years, so a foot print on the moon from a million years ago would still be there today. Because the moon has little to no atmosphere there isn’t any water to create erosion and there is no wind. The temperatures of the moon vary from day to night. During the day the temperature is approximately +300°F and night time is -270°F. The temperature is this way due to the fact there is no atmosphere to protect against the sun and keep it warm at night (MoonPhases.Info, 2010-2011). The coolest cosmic entity in the sky is the moon. At night when the moon is out, it’s the first thing that lights up the night sky. It takes 27.3 days for the moon to turn on its axis and to orbit the earth. Due to this it makes the moons phases and orbit a mystery (Charles Q. Choi, 2013). Below is a photo of the moon. Some...

...about the novel, Theories of Relativity, by Barbara Haworth-Attard, where the main protagonist, sixteen year old Dylan, is kicked out of his home and has to live on the streets where he meets several “interesting” characters such as Jenna, the naive runaway, and Amber, the belligerent prostitute. Dylan throughout the novel fights against the black hole that is the dark world of homelessness which commonly includes drugs, alcohol, and mental issues, along the way coming up with theories as to why things are the way they are, and how as a coping mechanism. Many of our characters (such as Dylan, Amber and Jenna) if taken from just a vague, stereotypical title of why they ran away, you don’t truly understand more as to why and therefore, judge them for their stereotypical title. First assumptions of Dylan, Amber and Jenna were by just the title of why that I gave them were most likely ones such as “Dylan must have not listened to his parents much.” “Jenna probably did it for a guy.” “Amber probably is a sex addict.” Most of them, are false. They can be true in certain, ironic...
