- 21: The Creation of the Universe
- ... differ from mythos to mythos, all the ancient stories intend simply to give a poetic accounting for cosmic origins.2 In the scientific community there is a well known and accepted theory known as the "Big Bang Theory". Most people know of this theory because they were taught it in school. Yet it usually contradicted what their parents and pastors taught them in church. As a result, the Big Bang Theory was generally discarded as something that intellectual minds which cannot exist upon the true faith alone, must accept as truth. The Big Bang Theory is stated in condensed form as follows. As ...
- 22: Mrs Dalloway
- ... echo of India appears in Mrs. Dalloway's narrative rhythms. Like the intricate percussion of the Indian tabla, the fabric of Woolf's narrative comprises a polyrhythmic texture that subtly undermines London's booming metronome: Big Ben. The beautiful and complex narrative of Mrs. Dalloway seems to defy readers' powers of description. David Dowling's Mapping Streams of Consciousness exemplifies a sense one must ``reconstruct'' the text in order to understand ... of tempo and meter characteristic of polyrhythmic percussion. Time is not entirely subjective and elastic in this text, however. The novel does take place within a prescribed temporal context marked ominously by the booming of Big Ben: ``First a warning, musical; then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles disolved in the air.'' Schulze finds this chronology ``inescapable,'' and bases her conclusion that Mrs. Dalloway is finally a traditional novel largely on her reading of Big Ben's authority in it (Schulze 8). In fact, the metronomic images of clocks in the novel do represent an almost over-powering rhythmic structure that imperils the non-Western polyrhythmic narrative force. The ...
- 23: Cosmology
- ... evolution, large-scale structure, and future. I would definitely agree to this description, and would like to explain my point of view of the topics that Cosmology covers. Personally, I tend to believe that the big bang theory may have an explanation for the current state of our universe. The idea that all of this exploded from a super mass isnt too hard to believe. It gives good reason to the ... on. We could come up with ideas until we die, and someone would just continue in our footsteps. I do have one idea as to how this super mass which is the being behind the big bang theory came to be one mass. Scientists as well as philosophers and just about anyone you talk to can tell you that the universe is still expanding today, possibly because of the big ...
- 24: Big Brother In The Media
- The Australian media has various insights regarding to its attention of reality TV shows. Big Brother is one of the most popular reality shows amongst the wide range of contenders within its field, and therefore a range of opinions have arisen about the shows intent and how the show is just a huge plug for all sorts of sponsors. I have found a number of news items in which I shall be directing my attention to in regards to Big Brother. I have chosen three news articles from different newspapers that I shall be comparing and contrasting with each other, they are articles from The Courier Mail and The Australian. The ways in which different newspapers regard Big Brother and its intent towards the public eye as being purely a sponsor bonanza, various throughout, as the show has mass ratings and everything revolving around the show is just sponsor driven. The media ...
- 25: The Creation of the Universe
- ... ancient Egyptian legend that says that Osiris Khepera created himself out of a dark, boundless ocean called "Nu". Then out of this ocean, he created the universe. I will be writing about these theories: The Big Bang theory is what most people believe, also there is a theory called "Steady State", which is the opposite of the Big Bang theory. There is the theory of an "Oscillating Universe", which is sort of a compromise between the Big Bang theory, and the Steady State theory. There is also the religious theory, in which ...

- 28: Is Einstein About To Be Dethro
- ... of his work until he complained it hadn't been properly acknowledged in the Physical Review. Of course, nobody would make such a radical suggestion unless there were something amiss with existing cosmological theories. The Big Bang and its offspring, inflation, are extremely well-established. They can explain a lot of what we see when we look into the great beyond. They claim that the Universe began from a single point, and ... because light has not had time to reach us from that edge. This "horizon" at present lies some 15 billion light years away. If we run the expansion backwards to a time soon after the Big Bang, we find that some parts of the Universe which we can now see would then have lain beyond the horizon. This is the puzzle. The Universe we can see is homogenous, the same ...
- 29: 1984: Winston's Hatred of Big Brother
- 1984: Winston's Hatred of Big Brother George Orwell, author of Nineteen Eighty Four , in 1921 joined the Indian Imperial Police but seven years later resigned having come to hate imperialism. This was evident in the novel when George Orwell portrayed the Party of Big Brother, as a government we wouldn't desire but if we were not careful we too like Weinstein Smith, the main character, would suffer in our lifetime. But Mr. Orwell also presented that we must not let Big Brother control us and that we must rebel and fight back or else Big Brother would win. In this novel I believe that hating Big Brother is what kept Winston alive. To support this ...
