" (2007) Ringland (2009) states in the work entitled: "Toward a Unified Metaphysical Understanding: Consciousness, Self, World, Virtual Reality and Liberation" the proposition that: (1) Consciousness is fundamental and universal; (2) the individual self is not unitary; and (3) the world is not an illusion as in 'unreal' but is an illusion in that it is not as it appears to be. (Ringland, 2009) To clarify this it is reported that many individuals and in fact, millions have "performed the experiment of deep meditation and attained the realization that everyday consciousness is a complex self-propelling system of thoughts, emotions, day-dreams and so on which self organize into a personality, but beneath this there is a level of pure awareness that is often called the watcher or the seer
" (Madden, 1963) Darwin also observed a process of natural selection soon directly his research toward the following two areas: (1) Reactions of the organism and the environs that elicit the reactions; or response; and; (2) stimulus. (Madden, 1963) The work of Frank Visser entitled: "Wilber and Metaphysics" states that Ken Wilber wrote in 1973 that "There is no science of the soul without a metaphysical basis to it…" (2003) Wilber is stated to passionately argue in support of a post-metaphysical spirituality from the perennial philosophy…" (Visser, 2003) Wilber is stated to note the work of Trungpa, as an example of a successful modern day critical approach to metaphysical subjects stating: "For example, we saw that the traditions often conceived the planes of reality as being the terrestrial, the intermediate, the celestial, and the infinite
Psychology indeed appears surprisingly early as one among the other sciences, but for centuries psychology does little more than reflect the presuppositions and conclusions of philosophy." (Wilm and Pinter, 1914, p
" (Heath, 2003) The work of Wozniak (1996) entitled: "Mind and Body: Rene Descartes to William James" states that the formal beginning of experimental psychology is found in the work of Gustav Thodor Fechner (1801-1887) and that prior to Fechner "there was only psychological physiology and philosophical psychology" as it was Fechner "who performed with scientific rigor those first experiments which laid the foundations for the new psychology and still lie at the basis of its methodology." (Wozniak, 1996) In Fechner's work entitled "Nanna' and his work entitled "Zend-Avesta (1851) Fechner is stated to have "sketched out a dual-aspect, monistic, pan-psychical mind/body
2. Psychology - Psychology is defined as a "systematic study of the many ways that human beings are factually involved with each other and their worlds" (James, 1895, p
At other times and with other measurements, light does have both of these qualities. This is why light can be discussed as both a wave, which has no mass and is not matter, and a particle, which is matter (Nave 2005)
Physics Concepts in Physics Matter Matter can be identified as anything that occupies space, has mass, and possess inertia (Weisstein 2009)
Physics Concepts in Physics Matter Matter can be identified as anything that occupies space, has mass, and possess inertia (Weisstein 2009). Inertia relates to one of Newton's first law of motion, which states that in order ofr an object to obtain motion or momentum, a force has to act upon it (Zimmerman-Jones 2009)
In a word: "large strain uniaxial compression indirectly measures shear behavior. Mohr's circle a construction widely used in the analysis of the strength of materials, enables the shear and compression stresses (up to the fracture point) and compression stresses (up to the fracture point) on an inclined plane at any angle… to be calculated" (Fox, 2004)
Oil and water flow in familiar, normal ways, whereas mayonnaise, peanut butter, chocolate, bread dough, and Silly Putty flow in complex and unusual ways. In rheology, we study the flows of unusual materials" (Morrison)
Rather, energy continually moves from one object to another through motion and contact. According to Newton, if anything is to move, it must have a force acted upon in which installed the energy necessary to move (Benson, 2008)
The friction met by the pencil in the act of writing is also affected by the angle which the writer places the pencil on the hard surface which he or she is writing on. Different angles represent different points of impact and will therefore distribute the energy differently, (Egler, 1995)
The concept of inertia states that a static object must have a force acted upon it in order to enter into motion. In the case of writing with a pencil, this force is the physical energy from the person using the pencil, (Zimmerman, 2008)
This problem was overcome by the addition of a skirt around the base of the vehicle to create a chamber in which the pressure could be increased without the need for additional power. This remains the basic design in hovercraft today, although the design of the skirt may range from a simple curtain to more sophisticated designs (Bourg 164)
Hovercraft Developments History of Hovercraft Invention of Hovercraft The concept of a vehicle which would be able to travel on cushions of air was first proposed back in 1877 by the English engineer John Thornycroft, although Christopher Cockerell is credited with the actual invention. Cockerell developed and built the first hovercraft in 1955 (Johnson 550)
who were predominantly an aircraft manufacturing firm. The hovercraft then entered public use in 1962, where the first passenger hovercraft began operation across the Dee Estuary in Scotland (Sebastian 179)
Technical Considerations and Mission Planning: Mars is a frigidly cold planet where surface temperature ranges between -20 degrees Fahrenheit and -120 degrees Fahrenheit, with violent dust storms and very little Oxygen, and is orbited by two small moons (Engelbert & Dupuis, 1998). Its distance from Earth varies substantially, from 35 million miles to about 250 million miles, depending on its orbit (Abbate, 1992)
At the height of the Cold War, the Soviets stunned the world by putting Sputnik, the first manmade satellite into orbit. In the next few years, the United States would experience a series of setbacks, resulting in the destruction of unmanned rockets on the launch pad and after take-off, and the newly formed National Aeronautics and Space agency suffered the catastrophic fire that killed Apollo 1 astronauts, Ed White, Gus Grissom, and Roger Chaffee in 1967 (Engelbert & Dupuis, 1998)
Industrial pollution has triggered significant changes to this planet's atmosphere, weather, and topography that will likely accelerate the rate at which this planet eventually becomes incapable of supporting continued human habitation (Sagan, 1994). One of the only alternatives available to perpetuate humanity after we exhaust this planet's natural resources will be to expand our habitat by cultivating conditions capable of supporting human society elsewhere in the Solar System, and eventually, beyond (Kaku, 1997)
On the other hand, the Earth does not offer natural resources necessary to provide for our energy needs much farther into the future. Industrial pollution has triggered significant changes to this planet's atmosphere, weather, and topography that will likely accelerate the rate at which this planet eventually becomes incapable of supporting continued human habitation (Sagan, 1994)
