Red shift occurs when light radiation moves away from an observer. The red shift is seen due to the expansion of the universe and distant light sources (millions of light years away) show red shift corresponding to the rate of increase in their distance from earth. If the universe was very, very hot, as scientists seem to think it was, there must be some remnants of heat left over from the beginning of the universe. In 1965, radio astronomers Arno Panzias and Robert Wilson discovered a 2.725 degree Kelvin Cosmic
All human beings seek to be rational in what they do. Yes, science does provide a method of justifying rationality but God is the other part of the spectrum that science cannot explain. God is also another figure that provides rationality to someone who does not understand science the only path to salvation and to rationality is through religion. If this form of God takes 1000 different shapes across many religions, it does not make God untrue, it is just a manifestation. The biggest contradictory idea against the motion would be that of whether God can be proven empirically.
NOVA: Volcanoes Volcanoes are landforms where molten rock erupts through the surface of the planet. Think of them as pimples on the face of the earth. Today, there are over 1,500 active volcanoes on earth’s surface. Volcanoes cause serious hazards to not only people, but the environment and the nature around us as well. If an eruption were to occur, a number of life-changing things would happen.
Beta decay occurs when the neutron to proton ratio is too great in the nucleus and causes instability. And gamma decay occurs when the nucleus has too much energy. 3. What is meant by nuclear fission? Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction that produces a lot of energy, and occurs when the nucleus of an atom splits into two parts spontaneously or with the impact of another particle.
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions in which energy is released from high-powered atomic bonds between the particles within the nucleus. The main difference between these two processes is that fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two or more smaller atoms into a larger one. Nuclear fission is a class of nuclear change. Nuclear fission occurs when a very heavy nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei, each more stable than the original nucleus. Most fission reactions happen artificially by bombarding nuclei with neutrons.
Physics 1 Unit P1.5 The use of waves for communication and to provide evidence that the universe is expanding * Know and understand that electromagnetic radiations travel as waves and move energy from one place to another. * Know that these radiations can all travel through a vacuum and do so at the same speed. * Know and understand that waves cover a continuous range of wavelengths called the electromagnetic spectrum. * Know that and understand that sound waves and some mechanical waves are longitudinal, and cannot travel through a vacuum. * Know that current evidence suggests that the universe is expanding and that matter and space expanded violently and rapidly from a very small initial ‘point’, ie the universe began with a ‘big bang’.
They changed because the molecules of hydrogen and helium were moving so fast that they eventually escaped the Earth. 14. Explain how the greenhouse effect works and how it relates to global warming. The greenhouse effect is when radiation at visible wavelengths passes freely through the atmosphere and is absorbed at the ground. The ground heats up and emits infrared radiation.
Philosophers, as well as the average person, question the nature of the universe and the meaning of life interminably. The most frequent subject of scrutiny is the matter of how this universe came about. Most people want some sort of proof, some reasoning, as to whether or not there exists a creator of the universe. In David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion the character Cleanthes presents the Teleological Argument, also known as The Argument from Design. The argument is one of a posteriori, arrived by observation of the world.
Entwistle would like his readers to mediate on what appears to be a conflict between psychology and Christianity dating back to 1543 when Nicholaus Copernicus published “De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium” referring to the theory heliocentric and 1612 when Galileo revisited the heliocentric theory before being barred in 1616 of his teachings. Christianity and psychology are interconnected although they share the same ideologies linking them together but at the same time demising their views. The connection between psychology and theology comes from worldviews in which one sees the world and how the world around us began. “The integration of psychology and the theology is virtually inevitable due to their mutual interest in understanding the ambiguities and mysteries of human behavior, and healing human brokenness ”(Entwistle, 2010, p. 51). Everyone has a worldview that we have
Entwistle (2010) describes five models for integration: Enemies, Spies, Colonists, Neutral Parties, and Allies. Enemies believe, that faith and reason cannot be in agreement. Christian combatants believe that the Bible is the one truth while secular combatants believe science is the one truth. Spies do not accept the tenets of Christianity but see activities such as prayer or forgiveness as useful to the secular world. Colonists are religious advocates who engage the scientific community in an effort to convert others to their way of life.
