376: The Largest Dinosaurs to Roam the Earth
It's relatively unclear and practically impossible to judge exactly which species of dinosaur was the largest, due to the fact that many of the fossil remains discovered to date aren't totally complete. Partial fossils have been discovered relatively recently that allude to the fact that there may have been dinosaurs that were much larger than wha
377: The Meaning of the Star Signs In Astrology
Hey, what's your sign? Pretty lame pick up line, huh? Back in the 70's when disco enthusiasts used that line in bars; they were referring to their compatibility based on their star sign. Because of the huge importance of the sun, coupled with its convenience, the position of the sun within constellations is the most influential and accepted comp
378: The Moon And Its Influence On Daily Horoscopes
The giant impact theory says that initially the Earth did not contain the moon. At some point of time, a planet or a mass larger than Mars struck the Earth giving a great blow. As a result, the body mass and a piece of the earth vaporized. The resulting vaporized particles combined to form moonlets and it started orbiting the earth forming the moon
379: The Next Generation of Space Telescopes
Originally dubbed the Next Generation Space Telescope, what is now known today as the James Webb Space Telescope is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. Scheduled to launch sometime in 2013, the Next Generation Space Telescope is being designed to be bigger and better than the Hubble with many more capabilities.
The James Webb Space Tel
380: The Quest For Water In Outer Space And Other Planets
When we look at satellite pictures that are sent to earth from space, it is wondrous to see how vividly blue our planet is. It is, of course, the vast amount of water that we are seeing. It can give us a better idea of just how little land masses there are compared to the water content. We know that without the water that we have here on earth it w
381: The Resistivity Meter Vital Equipment In A Number Of Industries
The term resistivity refers to the electrical resistance of a material. Put simply this is the amount of resistance a material can put up against an electric current, most measurements are made with a resistance meter. A material that is regarded as being highly resistant impedes the flow of electron greatly; plastic and rubber are both examples of
382: The Resistivity Meter%3B Applications In The Electrical And Mining Industries
Resistivity is the term used when describing the specific electrical resistance of a material. Put into lay mans terms it is a measurement of the resistance of any given material to electric current; it is normally measured using a resistivity meter. A material that has a high resistivity will impede the flow of electricity greatly while those with
383: The Science Behind the Optical Telescope
An optical telescope is a telescope that is used to gather and focus light mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The optical telescope allows the user to directly view a magnified image of something far away. The term is used especially for a monocular with static mounting for observing the sky.
There are three primary
384: The Science Education Belief In America
Political leaders, tech executives, and academics often claim that the U.S. is falling behind in math and science education. They cite poor test results, declining international rankings, and decreasing enrollment in the hard sciences. They urge us to improve our education system and to graduate more engineers and scientists to keep pace with count
385: The Science Of SmokingHow Smell Works
One of the worlds largest and most valuable jewel collections, the Imperial Crown Jewels of Persia, or Crown Jewels of Iran, consists of a mind-boggling number of treasures. On display at the Museum of The Treasury of National Iranian Jewels in Tehran, Iran, the collection ranges from breathtaking tiaras to jewel-studded swords to princely thrones,
386: The Singularity and the Dawn of Artificial Intelligence
Growth in computer speeds and capabilities has accelerated at an almost exponential rate since the 1960s. The changes show no signs of slowing down as the 21st Century continues. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted the growth in computing technology in 1965 stating that processor speeds and memory sizes would continue to double every two years.
387: The Story Of The Sea Floor
On the sea floor, over 10,000 feet below us, lies a world very different from ours. The sheer depth of the sea floor ensures that few can unravel the mysteries it contains, as even catching a glimpse is no simple task! Nevertheless, man's desire to discover and explore our world is insatiable, and we have developed various ways to study and underst
388: The Sun And Its Solar Eclipse
The sun is the largest and the most prominent feature in the solar system. The sun constitutes about 90% of the entire mass of the solar system. The largest heat and light source for the solar system is the sun.
The temperature at the outer layer is 6000 centigrade and the interior part of the sun has a temperature of 15,000,000 centigrade. The
389: The Theory of Everything Finally RevealedSecret Relationship between Gravity and Electromagnetism
The theory of everything (TOE) is a theory that fully explains and links together all known physical phenomena. Nevertheless, this theory hasn't been found yet.
After Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity was published in 1915, the search for the theory of everything combining gravity with electromagnetism began. Though Einstein though
390: The Timeline of the Telescope
It is actually quite easy to make a timeline with regards to the invention of the telescope as well as how it has evolved over the years. Much has been written about the telescope and good records have been kept with regards to new technologies and inventions. Basically, the telescope timeline looks something like this:
1609 - Galileo first in
