- 26681: Anti-Matter
- ... Research Early scientists often made two mistakes about anti-matter. Some thought it had a negative mass, and would thus feel gravity as a push rather than a pull. If this were so, the antiproton's negative mass/energy would cancel the proton's when they met and nothing would remain; in reality, two extremely high-energy gamma photons are produced. Today's theories of the universe say that there is no such thing as a negative mass. The second and more subtle mistake is the idea that anti-water would only annihilate with ordinary water, and ...

- 26683: Animal Farm: The Effect of Propaganda

- 26684: My Last Duchess 2
- ... a single character is speaking to a person or persons- usually about an important topic.

The author’s intent is to portray to the reader how by working with one another much can be accomplished. Also after reading this book the reader will ponder on a rather simple question about money and life ... the strongest example of what happens without teamwork. The pirates were both greedy and did not care about each other. Every pirate let his greed delude him and each wanted the treasure for himself. Jim’s party believed in helping one another and taking care of each other and because the pirates lacked this, they were not the strong enemy that they could have been. So even though the pirates and Long John Silver may have had the advantage of numbers, their quarreling force was not nearly as strong as Captain Smallet’s, which had fewer people but teamwork instead. Thus the winners were not the greedy, thoughtless pirates but the ones who were willing to work hard together. Sayings like “what comes around goes around” and “ ...
