Hubble's law

I would have expected his name to be more prevalent and readily acknowledged during Big Bang discussions. “He was also the first to derive what is now known as Hubble’s law and made the first estimation of what is now called the Hubble constant, which he published in 1927, two years before Hubble’ article” (Wikipedia 2014). Perhaps this, on some level, is “Christian persecution.” The fact that Lemaître’s name is not naturally and obviously associated with Hubble’s law formula and constant is baffling. I am of the opinion it should read “Hubble/ Lemaître law.” I find myself respecting this man. Lemaître must have fielded many questions about his faith and his work in science. It takes commitment to stand on both sides of what most see as opposing ideals. Yet, it appears, Lemaître did not waver from either position. He did not lose faith in God nor did he try to make God fit into a science mold. He successfully straddled both worlds for his entire life. The wisdom and discipline necessary for a life time of successful compartmentalization paints a picture of a strong…

about a second producing incredible amounts of heat. Everything you see is from that rapid expansion. That’s difficult to imagine, however, 3 major pieces of evidence support this; Hubble’s Law, Cosmic Microwave Background Information, and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. The first piece of evidence, Hubble’s Law, is named after Edwin Hubble, who first wrote about it in 1929. Hubble’s Law is primarily about how speed and time are related, and also…

Further, Boersig (2012, p.244) states children in a police interview are substantially disadvantaged, due to their lack of maturity and inability to necessarily understand the process which they are undergoing, which has the potential to cause them to make false admissions or to breach their own rights, such as the right to silence or to prevent self-incrimination. This potentially leads to a power imbalance between them and any law enforcement officer that may be involved (Boersig 2012,…

To become a criminal lawyer there are certain criteria’s that must be met, like the education requirements, skills and personality traits associated with the position. One must complete an undergraduate degree from a 4-year university or college. Potential criminal lawyers may benefit from courses such as government, history, economics, public speaking and sociology, but these aren’t required to see how most 4-year institutions offer a pre law major.

they were told. The 1960s is when a union of women were formed and decided to take action to have equal rights not only for whites and blacks but for women as well. Shirley Chisholm was one of these women. In her “Equal Rights for Women” speech, she decided to speak out about acquiring equality for women by establishing an affirmative case for the Equal Rights Amendment. Shirley Chisholm delivered her speech on May 21, 1969 in Washington, D.C., to push for the equal rights amendment in essence…

Legalization of Marijuana AKA WEED! Why we should have to legalization of marijuana is a big topic for a lot of people. Marijuana should be legalized because it’s not that bad as people take it. People see weed as bad drug, when really it’s not. It actually has more positive than it does negative. My opinion for this topic is, we should be able to vote and then decide if it should be illegal, not by one person banding it from the law. Like a president, we understand he is supposed to make the…

1990:35.) As with most aspects of their lives, they were very dependent on men in issues of law, in which a woman needed a male to “act in their interests” (Cartwright, M. 2014), as they could not defend themselves. In 56 BC, when Cicero was testifying against Clodia, a woman of the elite class whom was accused of attempted murder, he stated, “Did I built the road so that you could parade with other women’s husbands?” This encompasses not only the attitudes that men had towards women in general…

In comparison to Australian Constitution’s implied rights, the US Bill of Rights entrenches the civil liberties of its citizens with the force of law. Amongst the intitial ten rights is the freedom of religion, speech and a fair jury. One point of contestability is political participation - people may not be asked to vote on a referendum for rights in the Bill of Rights to be changed, which in itself, impedes on the right to vote (Amendment 14 and 19). Despite this, the US Constitution is a…

chemotherapy she had the chance of not being able to have a child. The couple went into action and decided to take her eggs and Szafranski’s sperm. They used Szafranski’s sperm to fertilize Dunston’s eggs and froze them for later use. After Dunston’s second round of chemo the couple broke up (Schwartz).
