Both briefly touched on the discovery and then focused on more on the American astrologists that confirmed the findings and found some planets of their own. These articles mostly started my look into the subject and will give some brief information, but I also find others that dive more into the topic. By using articles by Walker, Burrows, and Lunine, I will examine the initial reaction of the scientific community in 1995 to this discovery and discuss some of the more technical aspects of 51 Pegasi B. I find it quite interesting how a planet can still exist so close to a sun and with surface temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Kelvin. This extreme survivability of 51 Pegasi B was thought to not be possible until its discovery, and now has astronomers rethinking the bases of their planetary understanding. The origin of 51 Pegasi B is also an extremely interesting story, as it is hard to believe that a planet could form so close to a star.
EINSTEIN'S INVENTIONS CHANGED SOCIETY. DISCUSS This essay is going to give a brief history of Albert Einstein, State his inventions and also state how they have changed the society. Who is Albert Einstein? Albert Einstein was born on the 14th of March 1879 at Ulm in Wurtemberg, Germany and died on the 18th of April 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey in the United States of America at the age of 76. Einstein was a physicist, He resided at many countries namely: Germany, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary, and The United States of America.
It is helping archaeologists, geologists, and anthropologists reconstruct the world’s history by filling in some of the many blank dates in the chronology of the history of our human world and by substantiating and revising other dates. In 1941, the radioactive atom, carbon-14, was isolated and discovered. Utilizing this discovery of the unstable radioactive isotope of carbon, Libby formulated an idea for using the decay rate of this radioactive form of carbon to date the remains of once-living plants and animals such as charcoal, wood, bone, shells, and fossils. In 1948, while at the University of Chicago, he and his colleagues started experimenting with carbon-14 as a means for dating the past. The scientists proved that carbon-14, which is present in our atmosphere as carbon dioxide, is absorbed by plants, animals, and human beings at a constant rate, and that the amount of carbon-14 is stabilized at a specific amount.

The plant is still owned by the Mengele's as an implement factory in Germany. The people who had known him at a very young age would tell you that "He was a serious student with clear ambition and lots of intelligence", and also nick-named "Beppo" by childhood friends. He was the eldest of three, his younger brothers being Karl and Alois. For a time, Mengele studied under Otmar Von Verschuer at the Frankfurt University Institute of Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene. In his studies at the university he focused his efforts on physical anthropology and genetics.
Roosevelt dies and Truman takes over when he becomes president he learns about the bomb in April of 1945. In July 1945 Americans test the first weapon and it works. After Truman finds out that it works he sends word to the Japanese
Gregory Benford explains how, Marconi’s interest in developing the radio was sparked somewhat by accident, in his article Scientist Heroes: Fantasy & Science. While on vacation in 1895, Marconi read the obituary of Heinrich Hertz, which was written by a family friend, Augusto Righi (Benford, 1996, p. 102). The obituary discussed Heinrich Hertz and James Clerk Maxwell’s theories and experiments with electric and magnetic waves (Benford, 1996,). Marconi was interested in Hertz’s

Aristotle was correct about his first argument, but his second one was challenged by a scientist by the name of Ptolemy. Ptolemy elaborated onto Aristotle’s idea of the earth being the in the “center” of the universe second century AD. Next, Hawking discusses the accomplishments of Nicholas Copernicus, a polish priest who contributed to science around 1514. Copernicus’ theory (Copernican theory), stated that the sun was stationary and at the center while the earth and other planets orbited the sun. Nearly a century passed until Copernican
Even though many people believe that history sometimes repeats itself we as a whole go along doing the same things that we did before thinking that there could be different results, but sense we all know that every energy source out today has its setbacks and positive results: scientists have created and somehow stabilized the much needed power sources of nuclear energy. According to nobelprize.org, Neutrons were discovered by a man named Enrico Fermi who was awarded a Nobel peace prize because of it. Fermi was born in Rome on September 29th, 1901. In 1923 he was awarded a scholarship from the Italian Government and later moved to Leyden to work with P. Ehrenfest, and later that same year returned to Italy to occupy for two years the post of Lecturer in Mathematical Physics and Mechanics and the University of Florence. During the early years of his career in Rome he occupied himself with electrodynamics problems and with theoretical investigations on various spectroscopic phenomena.
