Understanding the Big Bang and the Universe’s Evolution
Scene I: The Chaos
The Chaos.
What Was There Before?
There is no way to indicate a theory about what happened before the Big Bang. And we’re not sure what they had or if there really was something before the Big Bang.
What is the Problem for the Precise Origin of the Universe?
The problem in determining the exact origin of the universe is that the current laws of physics are not absolute laws. Therefore, they cannot be applied throughout the universe, if not in certain states of matter and a limited

Understanding the Solar System
Planets: Mercury and Mars
Choose two of the following planets:
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, receiving 10 times more solar energy than Earth. During the day, extreme temperatures are reached, while nighttime temperatures are similar to those on the Moon. Mercury is notable for being the smallest planet with the smallest mass. Its orbital speed is the greatest, resulting in a shorter year. Its density is the largest in the solar system. The Mariner 10 probe

Problem 1: Electric Field, Coulomb Force, and Potential Energy
(a) Diagram of Electric Field Lines
Question:
Two point charges are located in a plane rectangular coordinate system:
- q1 = 10 nC is at (x=0, y=0).
- q2 = 10 nC is at (x=20 cm, y=0).
Draw a diagram of the electric field lines for these two charges.
Solution:
Since both charges are positive, their electric field lines radiate outward. The field lines repel each other in the space between the charges, bending outward. The key features of the diagram
Understanding Waves and Telecommunications: Radio, Phone & More
Waves and Communications
Waves are transmitted through various communication systems (radio, or our voice via telephony). A wave is a traveling space perturbation without the transport of matter, but with the transport of energy.
Features of Waves
- Period (T): The time it takes for one complete vibration.
- Frequency (f): The number of vibrations per second, equal to the inverse of the period: f = 1/T. Measured in s-1, also known as Hertz (Hz).
- Wavelength (λ): The distance between two consecutive peaks
Englishness: Orwell vs. Kureishi on British Identity
Englishness in Orwell’s England Your England and Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia
Englishness can be defined as “what is it to be British?” This term references several features that allow us to determine what it takes to be British.
Both Orwell and Kureishi deal with the concept of Englishness. Orwell discusses what it means to be British before World War II, while Kureishi explores British identity after the war.
Orwell writes about two main issues that Hanif Kureishi later challenges:
Uniformity
