Interesting fact, the sun is terrible at fusion. Think about it, why hasn't the sun just instantly ignited all its fuel, and blow up all the milky way? The limiting factor infusion for the sun is one, heat, and two beta decays. The first you likely knew, but beta decay, "whatchu talking about Willis?" I'm quoting Arnold from one of my favorites shows growing up called Different Strokes. Well, when you smash two hydrogen atoms together, you get what we call a di-proton. It is sometimes called Helium-two, and boy does it not like existing.

Award-winning author Stephanie Sammartino McPherson has collected numerous personal accounts of the event.

Jean-Edgar Van de Burne (né le 5 septembre 1940 à Dunkerque, France) est un scientifique qui s'illustra successivement dans les domaines de la phycologie, de la biochimie appliquée, de l'ingénierie et des statistiques transverses bio-politiques. Tout en ne laissant jamais de côté sa grande passion pour les tournois de bridge, il contribue alors largement au développement des plaques de cuisson thermonucléaire pour lesquelles il reçoit le Prix Nobel de la Paix en 1985.

Warum sind wir Menschen so verschieden? Sind wir nicht merkwürdig, wir Menschen, mit verschiedenartigem Aussehen, anderen Sprachen und unterschiedlichen Religionen? Der Evolutionsbiologe Josef H. Reichholf greift das Thema Evolution anhand der alltäglichen Erfahrungen auf, die junge Menschen z.B. bei ihren Mitschülern machen: Jeder Einzelne ist anders, dazu kommt die äußerliche Verschiedenheit durch Kinder asiatischer oder schwarzafrikanischer Herkunft.

Less than a hundred years ago, science seriously debated whether a cosmic array of stars and galaxies extended beyond the Milky Way. Discoveries and theories have revealed a universe of increasing enormity, complexity, and mystery. The Big Bang follows the pioneering observations of Edwin Hubble and the early insights in cosmological theory by Alexander Friedmann and Father Georges Lemaitre.

hen did we start learning the scientific secrets of life? Step back to the Islamic Golden Age, when scholars ask questions about life science and medicine that will establish those fields. Chart a path through the Renaissance, as Leonardo da Vinci dissects cadavers by candlelight to learn human anatomy firsthand. In this first of four volumes spanning hundreds of years of scientific innovation and discovery, follow the evolution of life science up to the late 1800s, when a Dutch biologist finds a tiny infectious particle destroying tobacco crops and gives this particle a new name: virus.

During the recent presidential election, "media literacy" became a buzzword that signified the threat media manipulation posed to democratic processes. Meanwhile, statistical research has shown that eight- to eighteen-year-olds pack more than eleven hours with some form of media into each day by "media multitasking." Young people are not only eager and interested to learn about and discuss the realities of media ownership, production, and distribution, they also deserve to understand differential power structures in how media influences our culture.

I wrote this book because during, my studies of Astronomy at U.C. Berkeley (earning an Sc.D. in the field), most of what was taught involved the discoveries of historical Astronomers; nothing about their private lives. Consequently, you'll learn about the scientists and their backgrounds. The scientists in this book are only a few of the numerous who have made noteworthy contributions to the fields of astronomy, physics, cosmology, astrophysics, and so on.
