Moments of Wonder and Ponder

Photo by Norbert Kowalczyk on Unsplash The first of the sub atomic particle to be discovered in the atom was the electron. Physicists had learned to control and create electrical flows, however, to discover what electricity was, it required the separation of the properties of electricity from the wire or material which was impractical because when electricity flows through the wire or other material that creates an electric charge, it is impossible to separate the two. The method that could be executed in order to separate electricity from the particular materials that hold it was by studying the flow of electricity through a vacuum or near a vacuum. In 1858 Johann Geissler's invention of the improved air pump made it possible to extract sufficient air from a glass tube creating a near-vacuum in the tube. The Crookes tube contained a glass tube with a near-vacuum and a wire that carried along an electric current at one end called a cathode and at the other end, a positively charge...

Science and our modern world As our modern world becomes more civilized as well as sophisticated, the world of Science proves to broaden along with it.   No doubt we are living in a world that interconnects with the help of  Technology and Science, these two factors have impacted greatly on our society, where education is widespread and knowledge is provided without limits. Scientists continue to research, test, and evaluate current situations around the world, they try to find a solution for each mystery and present it to the desperate humankind begging for a way out.  Scientists have been carrying out experiments for decades and decades, some of which are essential and others that are unwanted and create more damage to humans and animals. The ultimate purpose of science is to figure out puzzles within the world and universe, where we finally devise a solution to help it out. Even so, as humans predominantly depend on scientists, the iniquitous group of scienti...
