UFOs
2685 Words - 10 Pages.... the next pages the theory that UFOs are real because of evidence
the government has covered up, the number of sightings, and the uncountable
number of abductions, will become a reality.
The first reason that is going to be addressed, is the secrecy and
Government coverup of UFOs.
"National Security Agency, or NSA, an acronym often assumed by insiders
to mean 'NEVER SAY ANYTHING' , (Stacey 40) " has been blamed for millions of
UFO governmental cover-ups around the nation. "Our problem is with government
secrecy, because it widens the gap between citizens and the government,
making it much more difficult to participate in the democratic process
(Stacey 40)," says Steven Aft ....

Little Green Men Or Just Little Microscopic Organisms?
603 Words - 3 Pages.... meteorites that
were about 2 to 8 millimeters long and found trace elements of a big mumbo jumbo
word— polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. That pretty much means that there once
was a warmer climate and maybe even lakes or oceans. Life on Mars is now a real
idea.
The climate of Mars about 3.8 billion years ago was much similar to the
young Earth. Microbes and bacteria probably sprouted everywhere in the warm and
wet climate. Although now we only see a cold red planet, which was probably due
to a collision of an astroid that would have set back the evolution process of
Mars, causing it to be a harsh planet. A Viking spacecraft which landed on Mars
in 1976 found that ....

Plate Tectonics

Mid-Oceanic Ridges
The mid-oceanic ridges rise 3000 meters from the ocean floor and are more than 2000 kilometers wide surpassing the Himalayas in size. The mapping of the seafloor also revealed that these huge underwater mountain ranges have a deep trench which bisects the length of the ridges and in places is more than 2000 meters deep. Research into the heat flow from the ocean floor during the early 1960s revealed that the greatest h ....

Evolution From A Molecular Perspective
3032 Words - 12 Pages.... for humans, however. What if the information stored in
our genes was available to the public? Would insurance companies and employers
base their selections on these traits? Also, with the total knowledge of every
sequence of every amino acid chain in a person's genome, couldn't a laboratory
perceivably reconstruct an exact copy of, or clone, that person? These are all
issues that will have to be dealt with in the near future, but for now we need
only concern ourselves with the objective observation of these proteins in our
attempt to explain our ever mysterious origin. As humans, we are the first
creatures to question exactly where we came from and how we got here. ....

The Physics Of Scuba Diving: Swimming With The Fish
4541 Words - 17 Pages.... less than fun. I quickly
sank to the bottom into a new world, with unfamiliar dangers. I really wasn't
ready for this experience. I was disorientated, causing me to panic, which
shortened the length of my dive, not to mention my air supply. Let's just say I
would not do that again.
To start exploring the underwater world, one must first master a few
skills. Certification is the first step of learning to dive. From qualified
professionals one must learn how to use the equipment, safety precautions, and
the best places to dive. This paper is designed to help give a general
understanding of the sport and the importance that physics plays in it. Self-
contained Underwat ....

The Periodic Table
340 Words - 2 Pages.... change gradually through a certain number of elements, called a "period" of elements. Then they repeat, through the next period. To express this, Mendeleev stated the periodic law: The properties of the elements are periodic functions of the atomic weights.
provides an easy way to show the division of the elements into acid-forming and base-forming types. Those on the left are base-forming; those on the right are acid-forming. Those in between can be either. They have so-called amphoteric oxides and hydroxides that can act like acids or bases. 's arrangement also divides the elements into metallic and nonmetallic kinds. A distinction is usually made between most pure m ....
