Diamonds are very hard and the graphite of the pencil's tip is very soft. These two different substances contain a wonderful proof of creation called carbon.A rough, unpolished diamond is the hardest of all minerals. For this reason, a crystal diamond is used to cut and to drill all kinds of material and is also used as an abrasive to smooth surfaces. Hardness is the resistance of a mineral to scratches from outside forces; it is easy to recognize minerals by this trait. By scratching one mineral with another, their relative hardness can be determined.

The major assumption is that the fundamental causes of illnesses are only reducible to smaller parts of the body such as germs and viruses, rather than related to anything outside the body. In doing so, medical isolationism treats our human beings as observable objects in a vacuum, a natural vacuum as well as a social vacuum.

Since light behaves as a particle and a wave, it is commonly accepted that it is both. I am attempting to show how this is possible, and dispell the myth that it behaves as a particle and as a wave at different times; independently from one another. Since light exhibits both traits then it is reasonable to assume that light is composed of both a wave and a particle "Particle Wave".

This is because when Othniel C. Marsh discovered the first two fossils in 1877 and 1879, he did not at first realize that they were adult and juvenile examples of the same species, and hence gave the two fossils different names. Subsequently, it has been realized, that both of these fossils were after all from the same species, so only one name should be used: Apatosaurus is the correct name, because it is was the first name used.

Before Science could cast its great effect on social life of humans it was all a world of sufferings, ignorance and hardship. Science came as a blessing to relieve society from suffering and difficulties of daily life. The triumph of Science can be seen in every aspect of daily life. According to a famous writer, Science has changed the face of the earth and the society more during the last 100 years than what it changed in 4000 years before.

Mandated heated strong acid distillations don't work as written and automated continuous flow methods can only analyze dissolved species. Extracting insoluble iron cyanide complexes with strong base solution not only converts these highly stable insoluble cyanide complexes to a soluble form, but extracts the cyanide from other components in the sample that would have significant detrimental impact on subsequent analysis.

Believe it or not, Einstein's Nobel Prize was not awarded for this revolutionary discovery, but for another he made that same year. A good deal of the confusion about Relativity Theory is that most folks think it is one theory. It's actually three ideas submitted in three different papers. And then there's that "light speed squared" business. What's that all about?

But he didn't just observe and note new objects in the sky. He applied scientific methods, mathematical laws, and logical thinking to what he observed and it is this cross discipline approach that created the modern science of observational astronomy.

Perhaps the most logical place to turn for an answer is quantum mechanics, the extremely successful theory physicists use to describe our world. What we find is that this undoubtedly correct, but still somewhat mysterious, theory implies there are two layers of illusion in our perceptions of the world around us.

Where there is electricity there is also magnetism, which exists in a field form, like the aura of the body. The drawback of studying Physics to get at human consciousness is that scientists who write about Physics are trained to look at one event separately instead of seeing the Whole. Human consciousness is so complex and multi-layered that you cannot really get the full picture from physics, or science in general.

However, beforehand, no one could explain why it was like this or could not think how to make practical use out of them. Today however, we know that there are magnetic areas of microscopic size in many substances. If they are oriented identically, they become magnetic, creating around themselves a magnetic field. If we place such an object in close proximity to another magnetic object, they either attract or repel one another, depending on whether the respective magnetic fields are identically or oppositely oriented.

In such cases the atom is transformed into a charged ion. Ions which have few electrons attract to themselves loose electrons, where ions with an excess of electrons repel loose electrons. These phenomena are referred to as electrical charges.

From the point of view of optics, microscopes also belong to the family of telescopes. With microscopes, we are able to view very small objects, often not visible to the human eye. There are many types of telescopes. The Dutch or Galileo's telescope uses a converging lens with a large focal point distance for the objective (the lens closest to the observed object) and a diverging lens for the ocular lens (the lens located closest to our eye) which, together, offer the observer a direct (unreversed) image of the object. Telescopes of this type are often constructed in duplicate and in which the flow of light rays are divided prior to their entry into the ocular but diverted to two separate oculars, a design used for opera viewers or binoculars (lesser magnification).

An atom is made up of electrically charged ions and an electron has the smallest, indivisible charge, called the elementary charge. Every other charge should be considered as a multiple of the elementary charge. There is always an electrostatic field associated with an electrical charge. If the object containing the electrical charge is moved into close proximity with another object, the charge within its molecules is either repelled away from or attracted to the other object, depending on whether they have current or nonconcurrent (same or opposite) charges.

This is possible by the revolution of coils in a magnetic field (a generator with exterior fields) or by the revolution of electromagnets around a fixed coil (a generator with internal fields). Generators usually generate alternating current, which may, using various devices, be converted into direct current. Generators work in the opposite manner as electrical motors, although an electrical motor can operate in the same way as a generator.

At the outset, raw materials used in thermal power stations are burned and the working substance (medium) or water, which is under pressure in the boiler, is converted into steam. This steam then drives turbines, whose mechanical energy, at a later stage, is used to drive generators, which in turn generate electrical energy. The electrical current generated in this manner eventually attains its desired force and voltage through the use of transformers. Any waste heat which may be created during this process is turned into liquid by cooling within condensers and sent back to the boiler. The condensing heat which is generated through this process can also be used.

The speed of light depends on the environment it passes through and on the frequency of the light itself. In an empty space, light travels in a straight line at 300,000 km/sec, which means it takes it about 8 minutes to travel the distance from the sun to the earth. This speed, which is almost unimaginable, was never before surpassed, although it is the subject of many physical experiments.

It envelops the solid earth and is linked to it by the earth's gravity. As a result of the heat of the sun, it is in constant motion. These constant changes of air masses relate to our weather. The atmosphere consists of approximately 78 percent of nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9 percent argon, and approximately 0.04 of carbon dioxide. In addition, there are traces of neon, hydrogen, helium, ozone, methane, and oxides of nitrogen. In the course of history of the earth, this cover had undergone many changes. In the beginning, that is to say, more than 4.5 billion years ago, the atmosphere contained mostly hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide.

One of the brightest recurring meteor showers in the sky happens in mid-to-late December, the Geminids, and this year, due to the just barely past New Moon, they should be a great sight to see.

In a more defined sense, it means any mountain spewing fire, which originates from the magma. Magma is a molten rock from the lower layers of the earth's crust that penetrates to the earth's surface in the form of lava. An eruption, which is the hurling of the magma and gases, passes through a volcanic vent or fissure.

For example, when light rays fall on the surface boundary between air and water, a portion of the rays reflect where another portion continues on into the other environment, which is the water. But the direction of the light rays changes in this second environment, something referred to as light refraction. The normal (the perpendicular line at the point of impact of the light ray on the surface boundary) at the location of the light ray's impact on the surface boundary is called the perpendicular or normal line of impact and the angle between the impacting ray and the normal is called the angle of impact. The angle between the refracted ray and the normal line of impact is called the angle of refraction.

There are three possible phases which substances may have: solid, liquid and gaseous states. Almost all substances can be found in any one of these phases. The phase at which a substance may be found depends on its temperature, pressure and density. Each substance has two critical temperatures where it changes its phase. Besides its phases, each substance can also be described according to other criteria: whether they are a crystal, amorphous or gaseous. Amorphous substances are generally liquid substances whose elements are held together by a very weak attractive force, which are not fixed in a certain position and which are able to move around each other. Besides liquids, solid, noncrystal substances, such as glass, wax and sealing wax, can be considered as amorphous substances and are sometimes referred to as subcooled substances.

Indeed they are someone hard to prove, although those who believe them say the evidence is obvious, and overwhelming. The Theory stems from a basic premise that the Earth is Expanding, which is similar in nature to the Pangaea Continent Theories of Earth's ancient past.

These various wave lengths, ranging between 380 and 780 nm, are individually visible to the human eye in their different colours, from blue to green, yellow and red. The colour spectrum is also emitted by heated solid and liquid substances. Colour is therefore a visible phenomenon which occurs as a result of different wave lengths of light. Each wave length generates a certain colour within the human eye, where an object appears to us as colourful when light falling on it reflects only certain wave lengths. Therefore, an object which we perceive as red only reflects the red part of the spectrum. An object which reflects all light rays falling on it appears white to us, where an object which does not reflect any or absorbs all light rays falling on it appears to us as black. If some light sources emit only a portion of the colour spectrum, they colour an object differently, such as colour reflectors in a discotheque.

In solid objects, these bonds are very strong, where the particles within the object are not able to move and are only able to vibrate around their central position. With liquids, these bonds are looser, for which reason these substances are fluid. Even so, they still have a firmer structure than do gases. The bond of particles in liquids is called cohesion. This creates surface tension on the water which, for example, pulls small amounts of water into round shapes - drops. The surface of these drops are then flattened due to the force of gravity. With gases, the movement of particles is greater than the bonding forces working on them, for which reason they fill all enclosed areas they happen to be located in.

The lenses or the entire systems which use them are the foundation of optical instruments. In optics, a lens is understood as a transparent object made of glass or other, suitable synthetic material. When a light ray falls on a lens, it becomes refracted, meaning, that its direction and speed of travel changes, dependent on the shape of the lens.

The resistance of semiconductors can be affected by changes in temperature or by added "impurities". By impurities it means that other substances have been added to the material. According to what the final mixture is, the semiconductors are labelled as semiconductors of type-n or type-t. The negative layer (n) is created from foreign atoms and is characterised by a sufficient number of electrons. Within this layer, free electrons are able to move and allow the flow of current.

Observing the weather changes during a prolonged period of time yields mean values, permitting the classification of different climate zones. The regions of similar climate zones may be separated by great spatial distances. Classification into individual climate zones helps describe and compare different ecosystems and landscapes. The climate depends first of all on the angle at which the earth is heated by the sun. For example, we know that around the equator the temperatures are high, whereas at the poles the temperatures are low. However, this does not mean that regions situated at the same latitude belong to the same climate zone. Although the angle of the sunlight may be the same, there are other important factors that have an impact on the climate.

Even so, this form of energy has many great risks for mankind and the environment. The wasteful consequences of nuclear energy is not only in its military use, as was proven following the atomic bomb dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But, as was shown in the nuclear power plant accident in Chernobyl in 1986, the peaceful use of nuclear energy also carries with it its unexpected risks. Not only did thousands of people die immediately following the reactor's failure but also due to the cancer illnesses clearly resulting from this accident. Besides this, there is a clear rise in the number of miscarriages and birth defects in the area surrounding Chernobyl. At that time, a radioactive cloud engulfed all of Europe. Although the consequences of this accident were not directly visible in all parts of Europe, increased amounts of radiation were observed in many locations.

Winds originate in the atmosphere as a result of the difference in air pressure as well as due to temperature fluctuation. Coriolis force (the bending or deviating force of the earth's rotation) bends winds in the northern hemisphere to the right, and in the southern hemisphere to the left. Winds are a consequence of different pressure of neighbouring air masses. Dense air of the area of high pressure flows into the less dense and therefore lighter air of the area of low pressure. When the difference increases, the wind grows stronger. Cold front forms when cold air collides with warm air. Cold air slides under its warm neighbour and pushes it upwards.

Transistors operate as controlling resistors and control both voltage and current in most electrical circuits. A transistor is made up of various semiconductor layers of type n and p. Transistors are classified as biopolar and unipolar. With bipolar transistors, only a small amount of current passes through its central section (the base), which controls the transfer of a much greater amount of current between two other parts - emitters and collectors. If no current passes between the base and the emitter (the base's current), no current also passes between the collector and the emitter (collector's current). Any small current passing through the base transfers electron charge carriers to the base layer and makes it conductive, enabling a large collector current to pass through.

Mechanics is the oldest branch of physics and whose basic concepts were studied by scholars in ancient times. Mechanics studies the movement of objects and the forces which work on them. In a broader sense of the word, classical mechanics covers such concepts as inertia and gravity, weight, speed, density, and even the structure of material. In the 20th century, quantum mechanics came into existence and studied substances on their atomic and molecular levels. Relativity mechanics, formulated by Einstein, also came into existence. However, to this degree, classical mechanics did not become any less valid but rather became more limited to the extent it was applicable. When an object is of sufficient size, such as when it is visible when looking out the window, and does not move at a very fast speed but rather moves much slower than the speed of light, the laws of classical mechanics is sufficient to describe and explain physical phenomena.

Even in prehistory was a person required to perform mathematical tasks. The number of hunters, tools or members of a family were probably shown by the fingers on one or more hands, which is probably why today's number systems are based on the number 5 or 10. The second step probably arose out of the need to organise greater quantities: such as between young and older hunters, light or heavy weaponry, large or small hides. The first number appeared before the creation of letters. By making carvings into pieces of wood, traders and surveyors were able to make their calculations. Egyptian pyramids are in fact the result of the early use of mathematics.

That means, that the equatorial plane (perpendicular to the connecting line of the two poles) is tilted 23,5 degrees against the plane of the earth.

Temperature measures the amount of heat, where heat is understood as the kinetic (moving) energy of atoms and molecules. The following law applies here: the greater the kinetic energy of its particles, the higher the temperature of a substance.

These phenomena are caused by sunlight. When the sunlight passes through the atmosphere, it collides with air molecules, ice crystals, or water droplets. The light refracts in these atmospheric particles, producing reflection, mirroring, or bending, which we admire. We perceive these phenomena as a rainbow, mirage, aurora borealis, or aureoles. Another, but completely different kind of phenomena in the sky, are comets. They appear from "nowhere" and are visible, sometimes for weeks, with their characteristic long tail in the night sky. Then, they disappear again into the far reaches of the universe.

Although there is water and atmosphere on other planets, the life is sustainable only on the earth. The shape of the earth is an imperfect sphere. It is slightly more convex at the equator and slightly flattened at the poles. It is enveloped in a gaseous atmosphere. The earth's body consists of rocks and metals.

We can visualise its lines of force as enormous loops irradiating from the earth's magnetic poles. These are situated near the geographical north and south poles (today they are separated by approximately 11 degrees).

Sometime in the sixth century B.C., scholars started moving away from the idea that all phenomena discovered in this world must be perceived as given by the will of God. Although the gods were still considered as the originators of all things, mankind started to consider that their intentions could be appropriated. By that time, mankind already understood complex mathematical methods which served to calculated the eclipse of the sun and eclipse of the moon, even though such discoveries were considered as religious secrets and taken advantage or even abused by the political forces of the time.

These tropical storms reach high speeds. Their names change according to the individual tropical region. In the Caribbean and the region of the West Indies, they are called hurricanes. In the Bay of Bengal, it is a cyclone, in the Japanese and Chinese waters they are called typhoon, while in Australia their name is willy-willy. However, their damaging, catastrophic force is the same in all the affected coastal regions. Tropical storms form over the tropical seas, where the surface temperature of the ocean is at least 27 degrees Celsius. Their characteristic is a spiralling wind vortex moving at a high speed of up to 300 kilometres per hour.

Magma is formed by the heat. It flows as hot, molten mass in the depths of the earth. Magma is propelled to the surface by the movement of the earth's crust, where it solidifies and turns into igneous rock. Magma rises to the surface also in the form of lava.

Its diameter is about one-fourth of the earth's diameter. The earth and the moon are sometimes described as a "dual planet". Due to its great mass, it causes the formation of the tide. Its mass, however, is not great enough to retain atmosphere. On the day-side, the temperature on the moon reaches up to 100 degrees Celsius, while on the night-side it falls to -170 degrees Celsius.

They were either able to count objects and visualise numbers or were able to calculate the number of objects in a set. For simple counting, we use basic numbers or cardinal numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. Serial or ordinal numbers determine order, such as 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Numbers and symbols are what mathematics is actually made of. There are many numerical and symbol systems in the world. We most often use the decimal system, which is most common. A number in the decimal system (although generally also in other numerical systems) is, by rule, made up of several numbers or digits, where the value of each digit depends on its position in the number. Digits within the decimal system are the Indian symbols for 1 to 0, which were adopted by al-Choresmi for the Arabian mathematical system.

There is also a firm rule that, within a closed system, such as our world, there is a given amount of energy which cannot be created nor destroyed but rather only transformed from one form into another. The differing forms of energy, such as mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic, kinetic, thermal or nuclear energy, are interchangeable and can be transformed between each other. At the same time, only a part of the primary energy can be transformed into so-called secondary energy. A large part of primary energy is lost or wasted as unusable energy, for example in the form of wasted heat, to the surrounding environment. It is possible to change secondary energy back into its original state but even this process is subject to transformation losses. Energy losses are even noticeable during the transport of energy and such losses are referred to as transport losses.

Our muscles, heart and lungs continue to move even while we sleep. From a physical point of view, motion is each change in an object's location. Motion, or movement, must be understood as a relative concept in that no absolute reference system exists. For example, an object in a car is considered as in a still state when compared to the car. A road is considered in a still state relating to the earth, but the earth revolves around the sun while the sun circulates within the milky way.

It produces small, white flowers from June to July. This species has the noted ability to completely shed and regenerate its bark on a yearly basis. This fascinating feature makes the bark a completely renewable resource. The bark has been used for generations in tribal medicines and rituals. The bark will also change color as the tree matures from a green tone to a brown tone. This tree stands an average of 30 meters high with a tall, straight trunk. This has made it a valuable rainforest hardwood tree. Its genus, Calycophyllum, is small with only six species spread throughout tropical America, all of which are medium-sized trees.

We often talk about inland lakes, in order to distinguish them from the word "sea." The speed of outflow of water from a lake is so low, that a person may not even notice it, which leads to the name of standing water. Smaller lakes are called, depending on the type, pool, pond, swamp, or shallow lake. Large lakes are sometimes called "sea," for example, Dead Sea. Inland lakes, with a total of 2.5 million square kilometres, occupy 1.8 percent of the land surface. The largest European inland lake is Lake Ladoga in Russia. The world's largest lake without outflow is the Caspian Sea.

We have to replace with food the daily loss of salt which is in our bodies and which we lose by perspiration. In the ancient world, salt was obtained by boiling and gradual evaporation of seawater. During Middle Ages, when the population had grown considerably and there was a great demand for salt, because it was used heavily to preserve food (salting), the salt was so valuable, that an entire administration was created to regulate its manufacture and commerce. Very often, salt customs fees were an important source of income.

The shape of the water molecule, for one thing. The two hydrogen atoms stick to the oxygen atom like the ears on a teddy bear, so the molecule is lopsided. This makes each water molecule act like a tiny magnet, with its negative pole down by the oxygen atom and its positive pole up around the hydrogen atoms.

When connected one after another, referred to as a series connection, the electrically connected components are connected in such a way that the output terminal of one component is connected to the input terminal of another component. In such cases, there are no branch lines and the same current passes through all of the components within the circuit. This type of series connection is the simplest method of putting together an electrical circuit.

Electronics studies the movement of electrons controlled under an electric or magnetic field, electrical current, light, and so on. The importance of electronic components lies in the fact that, among other matters, they take the place of mechanically moving parts. This leads to a longer shelf life of an appliance, its faster speed, lower use of energy, and the smaller amount of room that it takes up. This is just one example of the ongoing miniaturisation taking place around us.

In addition to oil and natural gas, which are exploited on a larger scale since the 19th century, coal is a very important fuel today as it was in the past. More than 40 percent of energy used in western Europe is generated using coal.

Such systems often react immensely or unpredictably to the slightest error. Even though such systems do not operate randomly, every flow is influenced by certain factors (heat, height, air dampness, the soil's surface). However, these factors are so various and their affect so complex that the long term development of such a system is not easily forecastable because, for exact prediction, all factors with their mutual interaction must be known. In fact, this ideal example has a name: Laplace's demon. If we assumed there existed a demon capable of controlling all factors influencing the weather and capable of calculating the various factors, at any point, this demon would be capable of predicting the weather. In short, this means that what takes place within a complex system is not random but rather the result of definite conditions (the relation between cause and consequence applies here). However, from a certain point, these causal relationships remain inaccessible to us.

A large majority of earthquakes will go unnoticed by most people because of their slight magnitude. On the other hand, some earthquakes are very strong and cause considerable damage. According to the distance from the earthquake epicentre, we have local earthquakes (in the region of the quake), near earthquakes (less than 1.000 km away), remote earthquakes (roughly up to 10.000 km), and so on.

At first, people were interested in their surroundings, in the composition and functioning of the world they view around them and in its individual parts. It was in fact mechanics which resolved the first physical principles of this world. Mechanics was born out of physics and is the foundation for further discoveries and new theories. Mechanics concerns such issues as movement, inertia, mass, and the characteristics of mass. For the ancient person, the result of such considerations often became the simplest of machines.

Bush, outlined goals for NASA after the completion of the International Space Station in 2010. Bush stated that " our... goal is to develop and test a new spacecraft, the Crew Exploration Vehicle, by 2008, and to conduct the first manned mission no later than 2014. The Crew Exploration Vehicle will be capable of ferrying astronauts and scientists to the Space Station after the shuttle is retired. But the main purpose of this spacecraft will be to carry astronauts beyond our orbit to other worlds. This will be the first spacecraft of its kind since the Apollo Command Module".

The breathtaking success of John Gray's Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, which has sold more than 15 million copies, offers a hint that people instinctively know the truth: males and females are different.
