years between 500 and 1000 in Europe. One thing I found interesting was how admittedly grim the times were, even as people romanticized the Dark Ages. I learned about the “Dark Ages” by examining a set of Medieval Economic Laws created by The Bruce Publishing Company in the year 1936. The point of view of this source is that the Dark Ages in Europe were pretty dark because they were chopping people’s hands for not returning money that they owe. This point of view is conveyed through the quote, “Concerning

The Middle Ages was an era characterized by an immense decline in art, learning, advancements, and much more. The Renaissance was a period in Europe that brought about many changes to Europe. It lasted from around 1300 until 1600. The French word “renaissance” translates to “rebirth” or “revival” in English. During the Middle Ages, people were focused on religion and going to heaven in the afterlife. Life on Earth was full of suffering and sadness, and people believed anything that the Church said

Particle Accelerator Since the evolution of advancement and science mankind always wondered about the existence of this universe and how it came into being. To answer these queries great scientists put forward many theories. Two most famous of them are “The Bing Bang Theory” and “The String Theory”. Nevertheless these are just theories. Therefore in order to prove them scientists at present using modern technology such as “The Large Hadron Collider” trying to stimulate what really happened at the

thing and it also has been a long time since I saw the parts that I did. I needed to brush up on the film so that I could make sure I knew what I was speaking of. After I had reviewed the research I have done, it turns out that Andy was right about The Dark Knight being the most popular film in the summer of 2008. It turns out that the film was first released in Australia, on July 16, 2008; it was two days later July 18, 2008 that it was released in North America. It wasn’t till July 24, 2008 when it

it is important to understand what Big Bang Theory (BBT) is and is not. Contrary to the common perception, it is not a theory about the origin of the universe. Rather, it describes the development of the universe over time. This process is often called "cosmic evolution". Over the last several decades the basic picture of cosmology given by BBT has been generally accepted by astronomers, physicists and the wider scientific community. However, no similar consensus has been reached on ideas about the

empty space in the universe? it turns out that more than 70% of or known universe is made up of Dark Matter. What is Dark Matter? Why does it take up so much space? How can we use it for the betterment of our universe? There are so many questions that arise when something we know little about makes up so much of where we live. What I Already Know About My Topic: I chose to write about Dark Matter in the universe because it is a very rarely known thing in human understanding. When someone

Comparative Essay Erika Shultz Professor Bradshaw Liberty University PHSC 210-A12 LUO August 12, 2013 Introduction We are aware that the universe exists, regardless; it is human nature to search for a deeper understanding. The controversial debate concerning the Big Bang Theory and a Six-Day Creation has been around for centuries. For years, thousands of people, including the “greatest minds in physics,” have pondered the beginning of the universe. Curiosity has led to questions of how the

Cell-16 James spent hours lying on the bed, trying not to fall asleep. He looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was already 1:47am. Five more hours, James calculated. Five more hours till its morning, and he could finally be safe. He could finally sleep. Everything would be fine in the morning…right? It all started three weeks ago, when James and his friend Gregg went ghost hunting to the Old Melbourne Gaol. They’d heard lots of ghost stories about that place. That was the place where

------------------------------------------------- What is a Cosmological Constant? Einstein first proposed the cosmological constant (not to be confused with the Hubble Constant) usually symbolized by the greek letter "lambda" (), as a mathematical fix to the theory of general relativity. In its simplest form, general relativity predicted that the universe must either expand or contract. Einstein thought the universe was static, so he added this new term to stop the expansion. Friedmann, a Russian

understand more about the physics of the hot. The third thing is probing the very small. Most of the universe's matter is not made up of atoms. Most of it is made up of something very, very mysterious, which we call dark matter. The reason why galaxy clusters can teach us about dark matter, the reason why galaxy clusters can teach us about the physics of the very small, is precisely because they are so very big. The fourth thing is the physics of the very strange. Cosmologists understand why the
