At the start of the universe there was a varying degree of complexity that ensures the foundations of connections in our universe and planet Earth. With the foundation of the universe it allowed for stars, planets and black holes to form. Stars work as a complex mechanism as they are able to convert elements into fuel to survive, these small mechanisms in the star ensures its stability and makes it complex. The many ways stars are created and destroyed allows for the presentation of different levels of complexity. When a low mass star die it exhausts its fuel and collapses due to gravity, it will the slowly burn away and the carbon core will cool down and become a white dwarf. Massive stars with a higher mass end in a different way, their cores …show more content…
After the death of a star, it sets off a chain of events depending on how big the star is and how it died, as presented if a stars death resulted in a supernova. The remnants of the stars such as dust would accumulate and create a planet this is evident in the creation of the Earth in which the core is mostly made up of iron which may be a remnant of a dead star. This presents the connection of the Big Bang and the creation of the universe. Without the presence of elements there would be nothing to aid in the creation of stars as stars depend on elements such as helium and hydrogen to provide fuel. Without the death of massive stars there would be no oxygen or other elements which helped with the survival of human life. The creation of the sun allows for the creation of life which helps and supports life on Earth. Different components of the sun helps fuel it and provide a stable ball of warmth for Earth until it runs out. Elements are abundant in the universe this is due to the death of stars. The abundance of elements fueled the early forms of life on Earth such as …show more content…
The invention of agriculture united communities and created a hierarchy for some world zones such as Afro Eurasia. With agriculture becoming humans way of life it was slowly becoming more complex as humans domesticated animals such as cattle to alter their genetic makeup and ensure they were easier to control. Agriculture enabled humans to live off the land and control energy and resources. After agriculture was invented the rise of villages were generated this is due to the fact that humans no longer needed to move around for their food and there was significant growth in the human populations meaning that movement was restricted, unlike our ancestors. Later on, there was a growth of commercial trading which permitted in the exchange of religion, ideas and goods. For an exchange of ideas trading post were set up along well-known trading routes such as the Silk Roads. While these were an excellent way to gain knowledge and merchandise, trading along trading routes also introduced new diseases to various regions connected. The introduction of trading routes introduced the idea of collective
Stars explode at the end of their lifetime, sometimes when they explode the stars leave a remnant of gasses and, dust behind. What the gasses come together to form depend on the size of the remnant. If the remnant is less than 1.4 solar masses it will become a white dwarf, a hot dead star that is not bright enough to shine. If the remnant is roughly 1.4 solar masses, it will collapse. “The protons and electrons will be squashed together, and their elementary particles will recombine to form neutrons”. What results from this reaction is called a neut...
The new means of transportation and communication made it possible for the way farmers farmed their
I was born with an inherent fascination for all things celestial. Ever since I was young, I have been staring at the night sky trying to find constellations, or using my juvenile imagination to create my own. My efforts to find, view, and mentally catalogue everything the heavenly bodies have to offer has led me to employ some over-the-top measures, but the most extreme of them all might be the night I stayed awake through the wee hours of the morning to catch a glimpse of a meteor shower. Over the course of an entire year, the memory of this stupefying event is still as lucent and vivid as it was that very night so long ago.
The sun became the king of the universe and he was very bright so he could be seen from far and wide. The stars feared him and so again began to behave in an appropriate fashion. He also was very hot and warmed the once cold universe so that life would be possible.
As empires progressed in the ancient world, trade became necessary for expansion to continue. Towns and villages developed along the trade routes and became wealthy and powerful. Two specific routes, the Silk Road and the Indian Ocean trade network, were able to spread different aspects of culture, such as religion, but they both differed in the transfer of these ideas.
The agricultural revolution made what humans are today, humans have found new resources, made new inventions, and it has made the world more successful. During the revolution of agriculture, “since crops can be stored, and since it takes less time to pick food from a garden than to find it in the wild, agriculture gave [people] free time that hunter-gatherers never had” (Diamond 2). Having more free time allowed them to be creative, new tools and new inventions were being made as days passed. Since they stayed in one place where most of them clumped together, people were more susceptible to diseases. Even though many people contracted diseases, humans were able to find ways to treat them. The diseases that existed back then are mostly gone today because of vaccines and new medical technology. Humans have learned how to improve their lives today because of what they have learned from the
For centuries, the explanation of the origin of our universe has been a heavily debated subject of religious, philosophical and scientific discussion. However, attempts to explain how the universe developed from a very tiny, dense state into what it is today have been thoroughly explored, not the initial creation of the universe itself. From the studies of both famous cosmologists and ordinary folk, there are two famous and widely accepted theories of how our universe evolved to what is today - The Big Bang theory and The Steady State theory. And along with these proposed theories is a plethora of evidence
The Big Bang, the alpha of existence for the building blocks of stars, happened approximately fourteen billion years ago. The elements produced by the big bang consisted of hydrogen and helium with trace amounts of lithium. Hydrogen and helium are the essential structure which build stars. Within these early stars, heavier elements were slowly formed through a process known as nucleosynthesis. Nucleosythesis is the process of creating new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons. As the stars expel their contents, be it going supernova, solar winds, or solar explosions, these heavier elements along with other “star stuff” are ejected into the interstellar medium where they will later be recycled into another star. This physical process of galactic recycling is how or solar system's mass came to contain 2% of these heavier elements.
As archaeologists dated 9,000 B.C.E as a period of shift from Paleolithic era to the Neolithic era, it is mostly known as the development of agriculture. Agricultural Revolution started spreading across the globe at practically the same time as of the modern time middle eastern region. And also, the evidence suggests that, the warming phase of the earth and rapidly growing population had force the nomadic people of this region into farming. They started gathering wild seeds, roots, and other plants and begun planting for more food supply. With close observation, they soon learned the characteristic of plants, and started selective domesticating the plant that were beneficial to them and the climate of that region. “They removed unwanted plants through weeding and selected the seed they planted in order to get crops that had favorable characteristic…certain crops became domesticated, that is, modified by selective breeding so as to serve human needs” (page 7. History of western society). Since, farming required long working hours and more labor, early farmer who relied on agriculture were less nourished then foragers. Although, less yield had resulted more health complication on early farmers, but also more people start farming. Soon, large number people were attracted towards
The evolution of mode of production from foraging to agriculture is perhaps the single most consequential paradigm shift in human history. It sparked the development of some of mankind's most intrinsic inventions, created the food surpluses necessary for our exponential population expansion, and provided the stability necessary for the birth of culture. Without it, there would be no writing, irrigation, advanced methods of transportation, metal tools, electronics, internet, nor any true understanding of the cosmos. Instead, the world now operates as a global economic network of information systems, trade, and interaction. While the human population of Earth is by no means unified, it no longer exists in clumps of isolation, and the resulting connections allow for the type of cultural growth and evolution that would not have been possible in a world of foragers.
Cipolla calls it the first great economic revolution (Cipolla 18). The development of agriculture leads to the development of communities, city-states, civilizations, and other settlements. The social structure that formed around agriculture brought about the possibility of specialization within a society, since not everyone had to hunt and gather all the time. Instead of living in an ecologically sustainable manner like the hunter/gatherers, people started living in an economic manner (Southwick 128). Specialization enabled the development of social institutions such as religion and government, and agriculture necessitated the development of irrigation.
The Neolithic Agrarian Revolution was the world’s first historically confirmable revolution in agriculture. It was the progression of many human cultures from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement, which was supported with a big increasing population. This agriculture involved the domestication of plants and animals, which developed around 9,500 B.C. During this age various types of plants and animals derived in different locations all over the world. It converted the small groups of hunters and gatherers into more intelligent agricultural people. Those groups then formed into sedentary societies that built towns and villages, while they also altered they natural environment around them by food-crop fertilization. Therefore, allowing them to have an abundance for their food production. Just these few developments have provided high population density settlements, complex labor diversification, trading economics, the development of portable art, architecture, culture, centralized administrations and political structures, hierarchical ideologies, and systems of knowledge.
...as greatly advanced in the past 200 years thanks to mechanical tools replacing manual labor. It is the most important industry and will forever remain the base of our economy. Humans have constantly been trying to make it easier and quicker to produce crops, from wooden ploughs to pesticides. Agriculture is easily one of the most important and obvious signs of humanity and its adaptation and evolvement over thousands of years.
Technology allowed the human race to transform from hunters-gatherers to farmers. Around 9,000 BC., humans learned how to cultivate the land, how to collect seeds, animal husbandry, and other techniques that increased crop production. As agriculture and animal inventory needed to be tracked to successfully harvest a crop, clay tokens were used as a primitive means of mathematics. “The earliest tokens were simple shapes and were comparatively unadorned; they stood for basic agricultural commodities such as grain and sheep. “A specific shape of token always represented a specific quantity of a particular item.” [3] As tokens were used and standardized, records of transactions could be performed when goods were bought and sold. This record keeping technology helped foster trade and contracts between people.
The education system in India is based on forced learning that kills student’s spirit and zest of learning. In the film “Like Stars on Earth,” we look specifically at the draw backed role played by parents and teacher in Indian education system. We follow the story of a dyslexic Indian boy, Ishaan, who always had trouble coping with his studies, but in the end with the help of an understanding teacher he is able to study normally and catch up with his peers. We will analyze this film using the concepts from Practices of Looking to explain our thesis. Eddie will cover the concepts of encoding and the ideology surrounding Indian education; Kiranjot Singh will explain the concepts of punctum, negotiated reading and producer’s intended meaning;
