Relationship Of Science And Poetry When I first attended this class, I was eager to have the instructors show me the relationship between science and poetry, as I could not construct a meaningful connection between the two subjects myself. In trying to do so, I came up with feeble ideas that seemed to stretch the application too far. Now, however, I do not doubt that science and poetry

REM Sleep And Its Effects On The Mind And Body Dreams are a window into the mind. These may be our most elaborate, distinctive, revealing, and flamboyant creations. Dreams have fascinated minds since ancient times. The Egyptians built temples for dreaming. The oracles of Greece pondered dreams as the "royal road to the unconscious."(Papanek 15) Dreams allow us to glimpse beyond that whic

Res Natural - Forensic Entomology Res Natural The entomologist will not be able to give you an exact time of death, but rather an estimate. The estimate will always be a range of time. The range will vary from a few hours to months to years. The 'bugs' you find on a dead body can tell a forensic entomologist how long the body has been dead. The idea behind using insects to estimate a m

Cloning The rapid development of the technology for cloning has led to moral debates around the world on whether or not to ban cloning humans. With the advancement of clone technology two states, California and Michigan have already banned the cloning of humans. "Everybody who thought it would proceed slowly and could be stopped was wrong," said Lee Silver, a professor from the Univers

Cloaking Devices A cloaking device is an energy screen generator used to render an object (typically, a space vehicle) invisible to the eye and to most sensor systems. This is accomplished by gravitational lensing, the creation of a distorted image of an object when it's light is focused by gravity. In the case of a cloaking device, the light is focused so that the object's index of refr

Safer Cars Many people buy their automobiles based on their outward appearance rather than their inward. Though before purchasing a car it is best to do research. When buying a vehicle you should look to see if there any problems with the safety of the vehicle. Safety is divided into three different categorical areas: size and weight of the vehicle, passive safety which prevents peo

Clones Cloning In the past few years, the topic of cloning has been in the news a lot. It is a very controversial issue, with many opposing viewpoints. While some find it acceptable, others object for religious reasons. A big concern is the possibility of abuse of this new technology.

Cloning Human cloning isn't as scary as it sounds. In late February 1997 a British scientist named Ian Wilmut and his research team had cloned a lamb named Dolly from an adult sheep. Dolly was made by replacing the DNA of one sheep's egg with the DNA of another sheep's udder. This was an amazing announcement because an animal had never been cloned before. Only plants had been cloned befo
