Physics | 8.01 Physics I: Classical Mechanics, Fall 1999 The Elegant Universe | Watch the Program The Elegant Universe: Part 3 PBS Airdate: November 4, 2003 NARRATOR: Now, on NOVA, take a thrill ride into a world stranger than science fiction, where you play the game by breaking some rules, where a new view of the universe pushes you beyond the limits of your wildest imagination. This is the world of "string theory," a way of describing every force and all matter from an atom to earth, to the end of the galaxies—from the birth of time to its final tick, in a single theory, a "Theory of Everything." Our guide to this brave new world is Brian Greene, the bestselling author and physicist. BRIAN GREENE (Columbia University): And no matter how many times I come here, I never seem to get used to it. NARRATOR: Can he help us solve the greatest puzzle of modern physics—that our understanding of the universe is based on two sets of laws that don't agree? NARRATOR: Resolving that contradiction eluded even Einstein, who made it his final quest. S. BRIAN GREENE:The atmosphere was electric. S. S.
Gas station without pumps Physics homework chapter 12 Chapter 12 of Matter and Interactions is entropy and temperature. I’ve not come up with any labs I really want us to do for Chapter 12, and with class cancelled next week (June 15) I’m not sure when we’ll get to do an entropy lab. The only lab I’ve thought of is to build an electric calorimeter and measure the specific heat of water, but that sounds like more effort than it is worth. I would like us to continue on the rocket experiment, now that the simulation seems to be working. Anyway, Chapter 12 homework, which we’ll try to have at least half done by Fri June 8, our next meeting: 12.P.40, 12.P.43, 12.P.48, 12.P.62, 12.P.63, 12.P.66, 12.P.68. Like this: Like Loading...

[adult swim] | Adult Swim Video Where We Work Page Content We know that there are more species in tropical regions and that undiscovered species are likely to be found in places that have been off-limits to exploration or that are very difficult to access. So in order to discover large numbers of species potentially new to science, we head to countries with poorly explored, remote, humid tropical mountains. In addition, unique not-yet-described species are likely to be found in habitats that require special adaptations to survive, such as areas with low oxygen levels (e.g. swamps) and limestone caves. To identify the best sites to explore, we start with consultations with expert scientists, who generally know which places have been explored and where the gaps in data are. We also carry out scientific priority-setting analyses, putting together the data we currently have on species diversity with factors that affect their distribution, such as the types of habitats where species discoveries have been made.

MeaningofLife.tv World Biomes Pin Map | The Homeschool Den June 12, 2012 at 5:20 am , by Liesl Den Are you asking yourself, “What in the world is a biomes pin map?” It’s a map that shows where the rain forests, deserts, grasslands, forest and tundra regions are located. A pin map is when you stick straight pins into the labels so kids can pinpoint where things are located. There you go, sounds fancy, but really it’s not! Before we really delved into our study of rain forest foods (and chocolate!) First, we reviewed the seven continents song for ED (to the tune of Frère Jacques) : Europe, Asia, A-fri-ca-a North America, South America Then there is Antarctica Don’t forget Australia Seven continents, Seven Continents Then I had the kids guess what the colors were on the map (because it’s been a couple of years since we used this map). We talked about the different biomes in North America and placed those pins onto the map. We then pulled out the Rain Forest pins and talked about the regions of the world that are covered with rain forests.

A Once (or Twice) in a Lifetime Syzygy | Hello. My name is Howard. Kristen is my other half. A simple definition of a syzygy (si-zə-jē) is a straight line configuration of three celestial bodies, within a gravitational system. This image shows how the Sun, Venus and the Earth will line up on June 5, 2012. On June 4th, 2012 the Moon will pass partially through the Umbral shadow of Earth. There are at least two lunar eclipses a year. OK. An astronomical transit occurs when one celestial body appears to move across the face of another celestial body, from the vantage point of another celestial body. This image taken June 8, 2004 shows the apparent size of Venus against the disk of the Sun. For those of us on the side of Earth that will be facing the Sun, we get to see something that occurs cyclically every 243 years. The first half of this century’s pair of transits occurred on June 8, 2004. The Sun will appear about 30 degrees above the horizon for observers on the East Coast of the US when the transit begins at 18:03 EST.
