The Creation of the Universe
This paper will go over the creation of the universe. There are many theories about this
issue. I will briefly summarize a few of them, and then give whatever evidence is available for or
against each.
There are many theories regarding the creation of the universe, for example, there is an
ancient Egyptian legend that says that Osiris Khepera created himself out of a dark, boundless ocean
called "Nu". Then out of this ocean, he created the universe. I will be writing about these theories:
The Big Bang theory is what most people believe, also there is a theory called "Steady State", which
is the opposite of the Big Bang theory. There is the theory of an "Oscillating Universe", which is sort
of a compromise between the Big Bang theory, and the Steady State theory. There is also the
religious theory, in which God created everything.
There are a lot of different theories regarding the creation of the universe. It is a very
controversial topic, because most theories don't follow the story of Genesis in the bible. There is the
"Big Bang" theory, the "Steady State" theory, and the religious theory. The theory that best explains
creation is the Big Bang theory,

Solar Oven
SOLAR OVEN
Why it will work:
It will work because the cold air under the box will be separated by
four (4) wood pegs. The black, non-glossy paint will attract heat, rather
than reflect it. The glass, double panel, will allow heat to pass through, but
not allow it to escape. The charcoal cubes and shavings will absorb the heat
in the box and store the excess heat allowing the flow to continuously warm
the oven. The tin foil will reflect heat and subsequently heat up the oven.
The polyurethane material will trap the heat inside the oven. The mirrors
will help the heat stay inside the box.
Materials used:
Shoe Box
Tin Foil
Sheets of Glass
Charcoal Cubes and Shavings
Scissors
Glue
Knives
Polyurethane
Non-Glossy, Black Spay Paint
Four (4) Wood Pegs
Mirrors
Sealer

Copernicus
Copernicus' work on planetary motion stood an a very high mathematical level for his times. His
theory explained how all the celestial bodies move around the Sun. It took Nicolaus 30 years of mathematical research to form a theory about planetary motion. The three most popular instruments which Copernicus used were quadrant, armilla, and triquetrum. All furnish some measure of the position of the heavenly body. It took an endless amount of mathematical calculations to come up with the Copernicus' theory. He had to find out how fast the Earth spins around the Sun, and how far the Sun is. He also had to calculate the length of the orbit of the Earth. People use math in every walk of life. In our days everything is related to math, and Copernicus used his knowledge of mathematics to provide the human kind with an important discovery.
Only a small amount of people are interested in Copernicus' work. If it wasn't for Copernicus' love of scientific truth, the people would not know that the Earth spins around the Sun, and not the other way around. That's way we should live with the knowledge that someone spent 30 years researching and finding the truth, and that man was Nicolaus Copernicus.
