[TV & Movie Physics]

I recently saw Gravity with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney and I was outraged with some of the physics I was seeing. I can't remember the specifics, but the physics in that movie was blowing my mind. Not sure how accurate it was

[Are Games the Key to Girls' STEM Education?]

If you asked me that question as a fourth grader or even seventh grader I would have said a scientist. I was asking for microscopes for Christmas as age nine, and anatomy books at age 11. And I will admit to playing a few video games. Shockingly, I want to be an English major now. However, physics is the best subject known to man. Especially if you are blessed to be in Mr. Fullerton's class. Best teacher ever.

[Time Travel]

Another thing I forgot to add is the time travel we do every day. Reading books, looking at pictures, dreaming, day dreaming, and even playing music from the past. Think about reading a book like A Tale of Two Cities, written in 1859 by Charles Dickens. It takes us back to London and Paris, just by reading ink on a piece of paper. We go back to the days of the guillotine and feel like we are really there. Playing music from the classical or romantic era on a piano or any instrument may take us back to the 1700s and 1800s. While we are playing that old piece of sheet music, we may go back in time, back to the moments when that composer was putting ink to paper to write the music. We may even feel the same emotions they felt as they practiced the same piece to perfection. The chords and notes could release us to a different moment in time, when we were very happy, or sad, depending on the music. Simple things like telling a story about a past memory can take us back. Take us back to that moment in time where we go "oh, I remember that." Even driving in your car, listening to the radio and hearing a song you haven't heard since your childhood, can take you back to that moment. You can see what was around you when you first heard the song, who was there, what smell was in the air, etc. We can travel any time we want in our minds. We can escape the present through our thoughts, or sounds around us.

[Time Travel]

Time travel was inconceivable for Newton and his studies. But in Einstein's universe it has become a possibility. Science fiction about time travel inspired some of today's scientific ideas on the subject. So dreaming about alternate universes is ok no matter what field you study. Time travel to the future is possible, and it has happened. Like FizziksGuy said, astronauts have aged slightly less than we whose feet have stayed on earth. Now whether time travel to the past is possible, that is still debated, given certain physical conditions. Also, the study of time travel can be used to discover whether the universe could have been created itself. Because of research on time travel, some scientist claim to have a prediction on the span of human existence. Considering how much time we have lived on earth, it is remarkable how much we know about the universe.

[Determining g Lab Deliverable]

This just in! The newest minds to the physiccs world have discovered the acceleration of GRAVITY! I know, it is exciting! We are pretty proud of them too. I hear that these three glamourous phycisists, Lia Rossi, Lexi Sammler, and Riley Eike, have discovered the acceleration through a ball drop experiment. They started off by measuring the height of the celing, where they dropped the ball, than they timed the dropping of the ball from the highest point to the floor. After preforming these tasks three times in a row and averaging their times, these genius's pulled out their kinematics equations and plugged in their information to the equation d=vit+1/2at^2! Their final answer of a=10.99 only had a 12% error! This takes some serious skill! We should all learn from these terrific scientists and strive to make our accomplisments as significant as theirs!

[Hi]

Hey fellow runner and piano player!!

[Introducing lemonlime799]

Wow very cool! I had no idea you cooked:)

[Physics]

Riley, being the right amount of excited is great. Good for you.

[Physics is Interesting]

Hello, I am Lexi! I am Captain of the Cross Country team, I enjoy painting, playing my bass clarinet, singing, writing, reading, baking, knitting, making jewlery, laughing, laughing loudly, and everything else under the sun. I work at the public library, and I love books. I do Jazz band, Jazz choir, Chorale, Wind Ensemble, and Sweet Sixteen. I hope to Major in English, and become an English Professor, and continue to write and read while minoring in Music Performance and Visual Arts.

I am taking Physics because it seems like a smart idea. I am interested in these odd things I've never learned about like a quarter being in two places at once! Cool stuff. Also I am wondering how a tennis ball can go through the wall without making a hole... Physics is something colleges look for as well, so taking the class is beneficial.
