Axel Martinez Mrs. Gallaher English Composition 12-4-09 Strings, Strings, Everything is made of Strings The Holy Grail of physics is to explain all the four forces of nature and matter/energy (they are both the same thing) into a single equation. This theory of everything will reveal everything about the universe, most importantly, how it began. So far the only game in town is string theory. String theory is a purely mathematical theory that makes the bold claim that all matter and force particles are made of unimaginably tiny strings that vibrate in 10 dimensions. And the frequency which these strings vibrate determines the particle’s properties. String theory has had a very interesting beginning, although the theory didn’t get popular†¦show more content†¦Particle physicist reason that if we rewind the cosmic film back to the moments just after the big bang, some 14 billion years ago. When the universe was trillions of degrees hotter, the messenger particles for electromagnetism and the weak force would have been indistinguishable. Just as cubes of ice melt into water in the hot sun, experiments have shown that as we rewind the extremely hot conditions of the big bang, the weak and the electromagnetic forces would meld and unite to a single force called the electroweak.-Brian Greene. Physicists also believed that in the initial conditions of the universe, at the very instant of the big bang. The electroweak and the strong force would unite becoming a grand unified force. Although this has yet to be proven (hopefully string theory will), quantum mechanics was able to explain how three of the forces operate on the subatomic level. â€Å"All of the sudden, we had this consistent theory of elementary particle physics, which allows us to describe all for the interactions, beingShow MoreRelatedThe Pursuit of a Theory of Everything1237 Words   |  5 PagesThe continued research regarding a Theory of Everything is also supported by a variant of String Theory called M-theory. This theory describes the fundamental building blocks of matter not as individual point-like particles, like electrons, but immensely small strings of energy (Duft). Different particles result from different vibrating patterns of the fundamental strings. When calculations are performed assuming our universe contains more than three dimensions, the mathematics is consistent andRead MoreReflection On Physics1032 Words   |  5 Pagescorrespondence. I started with the elliptic beta integral proven by Spiridonov and took appropriate limits to arrive at new equation, which I wrote with the help of my supervisor as a new solution to the YBE. We ar e still in the process of writing a paper about our discoveries. I have learned a lot of new techniques and physics during my time at the insti- tute. Most importantly, I met a new side of physics; researching. I usually did not have to spend more than couple of hours before I have solvedRead MoreThe Species Corvus Corax1561 Words   |  7 Pageswith these few flaws, ravens still prove to be very proficient leaners in each study as they are trained quickly and easily to perform the necessary simple tasks.Their learning abilities rivals that of a primate (Albiach-Serrano et al. 2012). This paper examines multiple studies to try to establish a general diagnostic of the extent of the cognitive capacity of these corvids in reference to the cognitive aspects associated with the studies mentioned. Analyzing Extent of Cognitive Processes in CorvusRead MoreAlbert Einstein ´s Discoveries, Theories and Contributions to the World1186 Words   |  5 Pagesthe last century. He also created his Special Theory of Relativity and besides the derivation of E=mc2, is also famous for his work with General Relativity. However, in his journey to E=mc2, he created other astounding scientific breakthroughs that changed the way we think, from relativity to atoms and molecules. In 1905, Einstein’s career â€Å"exploded† with his publication of what many call the Annus Mirabilis (or Miracle Year) papers. These papers discussed four main topics: the Photoelectric EffectRead MoreGauge Bosons : Fundamental Interactions And Their Evolution2354 Words   |  10 PagesIn this paper, we study the four fundamental interactions, namely electromagnetic, weak, strong, and gravity separately along with its corresponding gauge boson; the theories of the four fundamental interactions and their evolution was studied carefully. We constrain ourselves to study the only part of the theories which deal with the force carriers and do so in such a manner that anyone with elementary kn owledge mathematics and physics could understand what is being discussed in the paper.

As such this has greatly influenced educators in seeking â€Å"explanations for the difficulties encountered by the students in learning and as a basis for the design of more effective instruction’ (Adey, Shayer, 1993, p.1). For example, a major research topic was whether or not the development of cognition could be accelerated. Adey and Shayer, (1993) found that cognitive development could be accelerated and that the effects could be long term (Adey and Shayer, 1993, pp.26-27). Furthermore, AdeyRead MoreFrederick Herzberg1492 Words   |  6 Pagescovered in this paper. Mr. Herzberg’s theory of management focuses on one area mainly. The area of focus deals with job satisfaction and everything that leads to job satisfaction. Unlike my previous papers, this paper will focus on one main subject. I will try to explain in detail the Herzberg theory. â€Å"Introduction† The Herzberg theory is the subject of this paper. The purpose of this paper is to explain Mr. Herzberg’s management theory. The background of the Herzberg theory comes from fiveRead MoreThe Evolution Of Music And Its Ability1319 Words   |  6 Pagespitch, and rhythmic complexity. However, one fault of this model is that it does not explain or clarify a detailed mechanism by which we cognitively perceive music. Previous research by neuroscientists has demonstrated correlations between pleasurable listening experiences and neural activity in specific brain regions. The paper â€Å"Intensely Pleasurable Responses to Music†, by Anne Blood and Robert Zatorre describes neuroimaging experiments that show brain activation of the nucleus accumbens and anteriorRead MoreSocial Disorganization Theory And Crime998 Words   |  4 Pagesâ€Å"Power , Social Disorganization Theory and Crime Introduction: In the television show â€Å"Power†, organized crime is the most prevalent form of crime displayed. Organized crime can be defined as a methodically unlawful activity for profit on a city-wide. interstate and worldwide scale. The act of engaging in criminal activity as a structured assembly is called racketeering in the United States. The premise of this project is to research social disorganization theory as it pertains to the televisionRead MoreThe Hazards Of Nurse Staffing1207 Words   |  5 Pagesinfections, according to research funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (Stanton, 2004). Many such studies exists, yet, the problem persists. Perhaps, a qualitative research study could prove to be the catalyst needed to drive change. The Research Study This paper will construct a qualitative research study that focuses on the hazards of nurse staffing shortfalls in emergency rooms. The problem, purpose, research questions, and possible research design will be developed
