Victor Frankenstein And His Use Of Science
911 Words - 4 Pages

.... with the idea of where life comes from, and how it is created. Charles Darwin originated the idea of evolution. Another theory that is used to explain the origin of life is the big bang theory that states that life was created from a cosmic explosion. Yet another theory on the origination of life is the existence of God and that God created the earth and all of the life on earth. Victor Frankenstein is exactly like the scientists of today. Victor Frankenstein is trying to make a human being from other, deceased human beings, this could be compared to cloning today, making one creature from another. The possibility, or theory of genetic engineering can guarantee th ....


Ebola 2
987 Words - 4 Pages

.... quickly, but investigation and control of the outbreak come from a combined effort of medical teams from the U.S. Center for disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization, and from other health organizations in Belgium, France, and South Africa. Since July 1, 1995, 233 deaths have been reported among the 293 cases, in Africa (Garrett 195). Since 1976, researchers have searched for an origin and cure of the virus. Scientist have carried out numerous studies and investigations. Therefore, we now know what the virus is capable of doing, how those infected with the disease can be properly treated , and the need to perform prompt action to isolate the ....


Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment
787 Words - 3 Pages

.... the help of Geiger he found the number of alpha particles emitted per second by a gram of radium. He was also able to confirm that alpha particles cause a faint but discrete flash when striking luminescent zinc sulfide screen. These great accomplishments are all overshadowed by Rutherford's famous Gold Foil experiment which revolutionized the atomic model. This experiment was Rutherford's most notable achievement. It not only disproved Thomson's atomic model but also paved the way for such discoveries as the atomic bomb and nuclear power. The atomic model he concluded after the findings of his Gold Foil experiment have yet to be disproven. The following paragraphs ....


Extra-sensory Perception
1599 Words - 6 Pages

.... all ages. Parapsychology is one of the most interesting of all sciences. "Most sciences try to explain observable phenomena, parapsychology tries to observe unexplainable phenomena." (http://wheel.ucdavis.edu) This science is widespread throughout the world and pops up in many different cultures. "Scientific methodology in this field dates from the foundation in London of the Society for Psychical Research (1882) which sought to distinguish psychic phenomena from spiritism and to investigate mediums and their activities." (http://wheel.ucdavis.edu) The research started over one hundred years ago and their goal was to understand why unexplainable phenomena was occurring. "Mo ....


Acid Rain

.... electric appliances. We also burn natural gas, coal, and oil to heat our homes. The smoke and fumes from burning fossil fuels rise into the atmosphere and combine with the moisture in the air to form . The main chemicals in air pollution that creates are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. usually forms high in the clouds where sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water, oxygen, and oxidants. This forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Sunlight increases the rate of most of these reactions. Rainwater, snow, fog, and other forms of precipitation containing those mild solutions of sulfuric and nitric acids fall to the earth as . Water moves t ....


Uranium
267 Words - 1 Pages

.... of Saskatchewan. There is a lot of Uranium in the oceans but we do not have the technology to mine it at a cheap cost. Chapter 2 Mining When uranium is extracted, pitchblende is broken up and mixed with sulfuric and nitric acids. It then dissolves into uranyl sulfate. With the addition of sodium hydroxide, uranium is precipitated as sodium diuranate which is known as the yellow oxide of uranium. To get uranium from carnotite, the ore must be finely ground and treated with a hot solution of caustic and potash to dissolve out the uranium, radium, and vanadium. And after the sandy matrix is washed away, the solution is treated with sulfuric acid and barium chloride ....


Alternative Fuel Source
349 Words - 2 Pages

.... of Agriculture, over a twenty year period one acre planted with hemp produces as much pulp as 4.1 acres of trees. Farming hemp at such a fast rate is the key to providing large enough amounts of raw biomass at costs low enough to enable cellulose (the hydrocarbon provider necessary for fuel production) to recapture lost markets. This versatility has led people to believe it is the only biomass resource capable of making America energy independent. There is only one catch: the federal government prohibited the growth of hemp in 1938. There were also theories that the major energy industries of the late 30s collaborated to ensure a petroleum-based energy market. Regardles ....
