- 251: Nuclear Energy
- ... have started operating since 1973. Nuclear Energy: Clean And Green Pollution, soot and urban smog are bad news for the environment. The good news is nuclear energy. Nuclear power plants produce electricity by splitting uranium atoms. No fuels are burned and no pollutants are released into the environment. By using clean nuclear energy instead of other fuels, electric utilities reduced U.S. emissions of CO2 (the principal "greenhouse" gas) by 147 ...

- ... flaming rocks. Lecippus, who lived around 450 B.C is supposed to be the first to suggest that matter wasn't composed of substances that could be divided endlessly, but instead consisted of tiny particles (atoms). Hippocrates was born in 460 B.C on a island off the coast of Asia Minor. He was the earliest person to establish a reasonable theory of medicine, one that didn't depend demons or ...
- 253: Albert Einstein 1879-1955
- ... are not restricted only to the fields of science, but also to the individual person: from powerful heads of states to the average citizen. Albert Einstein helped Oppenheimer1 develop the fundamental science needed to break atoms, causing massive amounts of energy to be released. There are two common forms of this technology today, the Nuclear Power Plants, and the Atomic, or Nuclear Bomb. During the WWII battles with Japan, the United ...

- ... day biology). His most famous studies are in the field of philosophical works. His studies play an important role in the early history of chemistry.

- 255: Greek and Roman Influences on Modern Society
- ... what we know about law, and even the Constitution was based on their ideas. Democritus is one of the most important Greeks with his Atomic Theory. He believed that all things are made up of atoms and the void.

- 256: The Hellenistic Age
- ... the best they can at what ever it is they do, this would manifest into virtue. The significant thing is not individual accomplishment but individual effort. The Epicureans held that all things are composed of atoms and that a simple life is preferable to empty wealth and fame. Their goal was ataraxia, or tranquility.

- ... out. Most people argue that nothing justifies the taking of someone's life. Yet what makes life so valuable? Why do people cling to it so? All we consist of is a bunch of carbon atoms, bound together to form an exoskeleton, organs, and tissue. In this light, there really is not much to life. Out of the 5 billion who inhabit the planet, very few of them shall emerge to ...
- 258: Analysis of the Human Cultural Identity
- ... His views coincide with those of Heisenberg in the way that they display the incertitude of how it is impossible to know exactly what things will do or go. In example, he suggested that even atoms are free to move around spontaneously, without order. Any invention or its inventor would fit nicely into this cultural topic. Eli Whitney, for instance, and the cotton gin. This invention was one of the most ...
- 259: Atomic Bomb
- ... then the explosion goes in creating a even bigger force. This theory applies to Plutonium. Implosion occurs causing a chain reaction which in return causes an outwards explosion. If an inwards explosion occurred the Plutonium atoms would split apart creating the biggest explosion known to man. The problem was now creating an inward explosion. By this time, turmoil started to arise inside the camp. Many scientists began complaining about the drastic ...
- 260: The Effect of the Greek Culture on Other Cultures
- ... a different bank. Another group of thinkers that arose out of Greek culture are the atomists. The atomists, who were initially led by Democritus, believed that the world was made up of two basic elements, atoms and voids. Atomist theory had a great influence on the scientists who later developed the modern atomic theory. Pthyagorus, however, may be the most important thinker of Greek times. His mathematical theories of geometry had ...
