In the one of the pictures provided by the NASA which stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration who were also the ones that assigned the mission Apollo 11, no stars could be seen. But with common sense, one should see brighter stars when you are in outer space right? The authors explains that the conspiracy theorists are wrong.
We cannot think of any way to explain the beginning and continuance of life on Earth without some type of “overruling creative power” (173), or God. Therefore, we cannot draw a conclusion about the future of Earth or of the humans that live here. All of the research provided in this paper render it very probable that the sun may have been a great deal warmer one million years ago than it is today. Assuming that the sun has been providing Earth is light and heat for ten million years, it may have lost a considerable amount more luminosity than we have previously measured. It is highly unlikely that the sun has illuminated the Earth for 100,000,000 years, and it is almost certain that it has not been doing so 500,000,000 years.
In the Star Wars series, there is a lot of space battles. If the space battles were realistic, you wouldn't hear anything at all. The reason is because space is a vacuum and sound requires matter to propagate. In space you would be able to hear everything inside your cockpit but everything outside you wouldn't hear a thing, it will be only silence. Because it is a fictional movie, sound is in there for attract the audience.
As well it was supposed to take place somewhere in the galaxy, but with the description it sounded like it was a small store in a large city. Another thing that made me think the bauble was some sort of decoration, not Earth. These examples make me think that this short story was meant to be science fiction, but did not have enough evidence and ideas to make it a science fiction narrative. As I was reading this short story, I understood that this story was written in the present, not in the future. I think this because nowhere in the text did the author mention anything about this story being in the future.
Ole Roemer, Cassini’s assistant, used Cassini’s data and additional observations of his own to determine the relationship between the earth’s distance from Jupiter and the timing of Io’s occultations. He used his estimate of the time light took to traverse earth’s orbit (22 minutes) to predict the delay in Io’s 1676 eclipse to be approximately 10 minutes. (Roemer did not know the diameter of the earth’s orbit, so he never actually made a prediction of the speed of light.) Roemer presented his results to the French Academy of Sciences,
Nancy Lieder’s claims (www.ZetaTalk.com)) are based on nonsense and public misconception about a commonly used astronomical phrase. The presence of any planet such as Nibiru would be common astronomical knowledge and therefore monitored by professional and amateur astronomers across the globe and any known government or source on earth could not possibly contain such a secret. Non-experts on various conspiracy theory sites associated this prediction with the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar although the two were completely unrelated. The very purpose of the Long Count calendar was to mark the passage of time; there is no known historical evidence of the Ancient Maya associating the end of the long count with the
Quantum Mechanics and Astrophysics Prove the Existence of Multiple Universes Imagine that there were an infinite number of realities. In one, you never intended on reading this paper. In another, you were never born because of some change in events. In yet another, the rapid expansion of our universe never occurred and the earth was not subsequently formed. A repercussion of these endless possibilities is the Many-worlds interpretation which relies on quantum mechanics to explain how all possible alternate histories and futures may exist within different worlds (Everett 4).
The dispute between Mormon scholars regarding whether it’s a planet or a star is due to the fact that the Book of Abraham refers to planets as stars. So scholars differ whether The Planet Kolob is really a star or another planet. While the reference to The Planet Kolob has never been found in modern or medieval astrology, this has always been a point of criticism used by anti LDS groups. Interestingly enough, the planet of Kobol in the Battlestar Galactica tv series is inspired by Kolob as the creator of the series Gien A. Larso is a Mormon. 2) Tithing: With reference to D&C 119: 3-6, tithing is mandatory for the Mormons.
The first problem Hawking addresses is whether a set of equations can predict the details of everyday life. He claims it can, due to the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, which says that one can’t measure both position and velocity of a particle. This would allow for an infinite amount of possible universes, each with its own history. This is where it is necessary to use facts and explanations. Very few people have even heard of “quantum mechanics”, let alone what the “uncertainty principle” is and what its significance is; therefore he has to explain it to the readers.
Although not one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Stonehenge has continued to perplex scientists and historians for centuries. There have been many theories discussed over the years however outlandish they may seem, ranging from alien placement to the more practical theories which will be discussed further. Unfortunately, during the time the great stone circle was constructed, was also a time in which there was no written record. As a result, many stories and theories have been developed without any written proof. While astronomers believe Stonehenge to be an astronomical calendar, other debate the megalith could be of religious context, a burial site, or simply a symbol of unity.
