Albert Einstein 2
Number of words: 526 - Number of pages: 2.... Einstein was sitting there in "ill-fitting cloths," and his hair "characteristic-ally awry". He did not speak or write better or more elegantly than anyone else either. He did not even have any special learning powers either. This was proved when Hoffman was writing equations on a blackboard when he was asked to slow down by Einstein, he said, "Please go slowly, I do not understand things quickly." Proving that he is not that much more intelligent than anyone else. Einstein was a normal guy with maybe just a little more on the brains side, but original as an .....

The Quicksilver
Number of words: 325 - Number of pages: 2.... to extract
elements from there various ores. Then, once the common metal is extracted
mercury is then separated through distillation.
Without mercury our world would be much different. We would have
different, if any, ways of determining temperature. Mercury is also used in
cleaning modern day swimming pools as "Mercury Vapor lamps" for sterilization.
Mercury can be used in both reconstructing and destroying life in water ways
depending upon the attention people give it. We would have no fast, economical
ways of cleaning large pools; no fast, economical way of c .....

Water Pollution
Number of words: 704 - Number of pages: 3.... waste. Ships used to
take much garbage with them on their ships and dump them. This was very common
until the government took action. They were giving sailors up to one million
dollars fines for disposing waste. Because of that, ships now carry less garbage
with them.
Animals are not the only thing being harmed by water wastes. Fishing
lines, rope, and plastic nets are being caught in the rutter and the engine, but
the ships are not exactly perfect.
The other main cause of water pollution is industrial waste. Industries
do not be harmed by water pollution .....

Are UFOs Real?
Number of words: 1817 - Number of pages: 7.... as a UFO being real. Another odd fact about UFO's is that if they are suppose to be out there somewhere why did the government stop research on them? Maybe they got tired of spending money on something that was getting them nowhere. The overall and main question that has been asked for many, many years is, "Are UFO's real?' This is simply one question that can not be answered with yes or no but only answered with opinion. My opinion as to whether or not UFO's are real would have to be no. There is simply no believable evidence that has convinced me that .....

Supernova
Number of words: 696 - Number of pages: 3.... few days than the Sun does in
100 million years, and the energy expended in ejecting material is much
greater even than this. In many cases, including the Crab nebula supernova,
the stellar remnant left behind after the explosion is a NEUTRON STAR--a
star only a few kilometers in diameter having an enormously large density
and consisting mainly of neutrons--or a PULSAR, a pulsating neutron star.
There are two common types of supernovas, called type I and type II.
Type I occurs among old stars of small mass, whereas type II occurs among
very young stars of .....

Nuclear Weapons
Number of words: 461 - Number of pages: 2.... great explosive force from the
sudden release of nuclear energy through the fission, or splitting, of
heavy atomic nuclei. The first atomic bomb was tested by the United States
near Alamogordo, New Mexico. In the final stages of World War II, the U.S.
dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and on Nagasaki three days later to force
Japan to surrender. The explosion produces great amounts of heat, a shock
wave, and intense neutron and gamma radiation. The region of the explosion
becomes radioactively contaminated, and wind-borne radioactive products may
be deposit .....
