Earth Day

Earth day. That means a lot to many people around the world and it brings together communities around the world. But what exactly is the meaning of Earth Day? Earth Day is the day we appreciate the Earth, care for the Earth----the environment, that people live in. Collecting trash, recycling, and anything to keep the environment clean. Humanity is on the wrong path with heaps of pollution, garbage, and other atrocities piling up in society. One of the main ways to combat this is to respect the environment. Respect what we are living on will really make a difference in society when regarding the Earth.


Respect the Earth and it will Respect You.

Motivation

Motivation really depends on what is aimed for and what you want to accomplish. For example, if I'm trying to do something important that will extraordinarily impact me, I will try something.








Motivation can also be manipulated. The classic example is of parents motivating their kids to do better in school. They probably would bribe them with some sort of treat or candy in order motivate them to do better.



What this shows is that motivation can be interpreted in different ways and can be expressed through means of bribery and other ways to "motivate" someone to do something, which isn't always a bad thing to do. Sometimes this motivation can be a concentration of positiveness and can increase proficiency of that person.

Science Vs Politics

Now, this is an extremely broad topic, and there is a lot of controversy with this stuff. If the government did not have any control on scientific research, there could be...disastrous consequences. For example, health standards are somewhat "scientific" and must be regulated by the government in order for society to not get sick. There must be regulations, but the government must open it's palm when dealing with science.


Let's suppose that some food product (In this case, Ruffles) had the cure for some epidemic disease....like AIDS. The government would most likely cover it up (where this gets controversial) and halt production of Ruffles. Now you may ask, why would the government do that? If there was a cure for AIDS, imagine all those experts (dedicated to fighting AIDS) losing their jobs. This was be catastrophic to our economy, and a TON of jobs would be lost. (Similar to "What if there was a cure for cancer?")

It makes us think, would a non-governmental approach to anything related to science benefit society? Or will it make things worse?



I chose ruffles, because ruffles give me rofl.

Nuclear Power

Nuclear Power you say? France has already implemented nuclear power and they seem to be more stable then ever with about 70% of their electricity coming from nuclear power. They are even supplying energy to neighboring countries. We also have to take in the fact that nuclear disasters can occur putting risk to people in the radius of a nuclear catastrophe.


Think of Chernobyl! Would we actually want something like that to occur again? Then again, nuclear powerplants are thought as more efficient and regulated then ever. What about terrorists getting their hands on the nuclear plants? Nuclear power seems to be regulated and efficient? But there are so many things that can go wrong as well as waste being thrown away in Yucca Mountain.

Quantum Mechanics

For any more posts, I shall be uploading some of my short, homemade Gmod comics that add fun to my posts!


Quantum Mechanics is quite confusing in my opinion. Scientists like Einstein were not happy with events in the universe just based off of probability. This seems a bit odd to me because of the probability of something happening instead of knowing something will definitely happen such as the double slit experiment. While actually observing the experiment, we actually alter what happens. We would never see this in the macroscopic world, but in the microscopic world with atoms, we will see this most definitely.

Did You Know 3.0

I found it interesting that the internet has gone such a long way, especially in terms of communication with Myspace and Facebook. In the video, it was stated that 200 million people had signed up for Myspace and it would be ranked as the 5th largest country if it were considered a country. Adding on to the communication aspect of the video, it seems texting has gone a huge way as well. I found that the human mind can be exceeded with a supercomputer seems a bit strange as to where technology is leading us.
