âPeople who think about time travel stories sometimes think that going back in time would be fun because you would have all the information you needed to be much more astute than the people there; when the truth is, of course, you wouldn'tâ (Octavia E. Butler). The novels, Kindred, written by Octavia E. Butler, and Flight, authored by Sherman Alexie,...

Time travel is well-known from sci-fi and has fascinated philosophers and physicist alike due to the metaphysical issues that arise from it: the nature of time, causation, and modality. It's broadly acknowledged that it is possible to time travel to the future, however the possibility of time travel to the past has continued to be intensely debated because of the...

The modern man is a time traveler in all aspects because mentally, humans project themselves into the past and the future by revisiting their memories. It is through these revising and projecting that humans have managed to invent future and explore possible events with anticipation and desire. Typically, the concept of time machine invokes the imagination of images of that...

The past of oneâs self cannot be pushed aside and forgotten. Each detail of a personâs background and culture defines who they are. In the novel, Kindred by Octavia E. Butler, through time travel, the amount of years in the past is equivalent to a few minutes in the present. Dana is propelled back in time to witness the hardships...

David Lewis proposed a solution to the Grandfather Paradox; the Paradox which was used to disprove the possibility of time travel. His successful analysation allows for comparable paradoxes to be solved using the same logic. Specifically, there is a reason to believe that Lewis' solution can be used to solve the problem outlined in Earman's logically pernicious self-inhibitor problem. Firstly,...

Although the theory of time travel has been questioned for several reasons, in this essay I will argue whether the case of the Grandfather Paradox is capable of successfully proving the impossibility of time travel. To better explain the meaning of this theory, an overview is given as to what time travel is in terms of personal and external time,...

Einsteinâs theory of special relativity starts out from an observation that the speed of light is always moving at a constant speed of 300,000 km/s. Despite this great discovery, this idea remains unknown to many people because it serves us no purpose for our everyday lives. Every prediction made by relativity that is able to be tested is true(Davidson, 1990)....

Introduction Human evolution, a complex and multifaceted process, has been significantly influenced by positive selection, a mechanism by which advantageous genetic traits increase in frequency within a population. This evolutionary force has shaped the human species over millennia, contributing to our adaptation to diverse environments and the development of unique physiological and cognitive traits. Positive selection acts on genetic variations...

All species are unique and special. Our uniquely evolved intelligence has pushed us as a species to rely on technology â something unique to human evolution. We do many things because we are the original architects behind science, engineering, and culture. From these developments, we have discovered the study of genetics, a process in which we can better understand where...

Introduction Human evolution is a compelling narrative of adaptation and survival, characterized by significant morphological and behavioral changes. Among the most pivotal developments in our evolutionary history is bipedalism, the ability to walk on two feet, which distinguishes humans from other primates. This adaptation has profoundly influenced human anatomy, including the evolution of our jaws and teeth. Understanding these evolutionary...

Introduction The extinction of dinosaurs, a pivotal event in Earth's history, has long intrigued scientists and laypeople alike. Occurring approximately 66 million years ago, the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event marked the sudden disappearance of around three-quarters of plant and animal species, including the non-avian dinosaurs. The investigation into this mass extinction is not just a historical inquiry but also a...

Since the discovery of ancient dinosaur fossils, scientists have gone through extensive research to reveal the conditions of their lives on Earth and how many of them truly resided on our planet all those years ago. Yet despite all of our research, there is yet one baffling question we continue to ask today- which is, what exactly caused these daunting...

Introduction The Mesozoic era, often referred to as the "Age of Dinosaurs," witnessed the proliferation of these magnificent creatures across the globe. Dinosaurs, a diverse group of reptiles, roamed the Earth for over 160 million years, adapting to various ecological niches. This essay aims to explore the intricacies of three distinct types of dinosaurs: Theropods, Sauropodomorphs, and Ornithischians. Each type...

Dinosaurs ruled the land, the ocean, and the sky for about 165 million years. Rex Tyrannosaurus hunts its prey with 50 to 60 banana-sized teeth. The 55-foot dragon from nose to tail frightened the ocean and ate everything they could catch. But 66 million years ago, the world's climate changed dramatically. Suddenly, the earth became colder and darker. All dinosaurs-except...

Cosmological observations from the past 50 years show that 85% of the matter content in our Universe is made up of non-luminous matter - commonly known as dark matter(DM). Characterizing the properties of DM is a major open question in physics today. Numerous experiments are underway to directly detect DM. The DEAP-3600 (Dark matter Experiment using Argon Pulse-shape discrimination) collaboration...

Introduction Throughout history a number of alternate theories of evolution have been proposed by equally intelligent scientists, most notably the theories of Jean Baptiste Lamarck, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. As with various theories, many tend to raise the question as to which theory has had the greatest contribution to modern evolutionary theories. Evolution is the one of the...

Specific interpretations in Darwinâs theories of evolution pose challenges to modes of proceeding within feminist critique. Since the conception of his theories of natural and sexual selection in the mid to late 19th century, it has been âeasier to imagine Darwinism and feminism as adversaries rather than alliesâ. Women authors in the 19th and early 20th centuries did lots of...

As scientists, mathematicians and other incredibly smart people started looking up at the night sky, they wondered - why is the universe of the shape that it is? What gives solar systems and galaxies their form, why donât they just scatter and fly away? These questions came up as soon as the scientists at NASA started measuring the gravitational impact...

Dark matter is an incredibly elusive force which is necessary for many modern theories that describe the movement of galaxies and â effectively â all of the major elements of the universe. One of the reasons that dark matter has arisen as a theory is the fact that when we observe certain galaxies, they have much more kinetic energy then...

Dark Matter accounts for 84% of all the matter in the universe. The remaining 16% is ânormalâ (also called baryonic) matter, comprised of every single planet, star and galaxy in the visible universe. Dark Matter earned its name because it does not interact at all with the Electromagnetic Force. This means it does not absorb, emit or reflect visible light,...

Dinosaurs first appeared in the latter half of the middle Triassic 230-240 million years ago; they were originally bipedal carnivores, and quite small relative to the colossal dinosaurs that proceeded them. These primitive dinosaurs rapidly evolved into the two major clades we know of today; Ornithischia and Saurischia, Saurischia being comprised of both Sauropoda and Therapoda. Saurischia makes up all...
