The 3 Ways the Universe could Die Out.
1. The Big Rip
In this situation, dark energy, the force that accelerates the speed of the universe's expansion, starts to pull everything apart and eventually the universe itself will be ripped apart. This process will continue until everything as we know breaks apart, including atoms as well.
2. The Big Freeze Also known as a "Heat Death". This time, the Universe would be pulled so far apart that stars will no longer have the materials necessary to form. As the Universe expands, resources for stars are spread apart. The more spread apart they are, the harder it is to make a star or planet. As the galaxy spreads thin of resources, the lights go out for good. The remaining stars will eventually burn out and the universe will be a dark lifeless void of cold desolate planets and black holes that have reached absolute zero.
3. The Big Crunch This scenario is thought to be the result of the Big Bang theory. The thought is that the universe will not expand forever and instead will start to collapse into itself. This will cause the universe to become a super dense state, also known as a singularity. This sort of event may have happened before making this theory one where the universe is constantly dying and being reborn.

Isolation
Isolation:
Isolation is the act of being alone for extended amounts of time. There are multiple studies on isolation. In most studies being isolated for more than 2 days takes a toll on mental and physical health. For one, it can increase the likelihood of a cancerous tumour. It can also lead to stress and anxiety causing less focus on work and activities. Being in isolation also can cause hallucinations and pretend noises.
Many people also feel sensations that aren’t there. Researchers think that the brain tries to make sense of the lack of senses given to it, but instead it creates a mess of the brain. People in isolation can develop anxiety, paranoia and obsessive thoughts. In a lab report, researchers experimented on volunteers that volunteered to be in isolation for several weeks. It had to be cut short due to the amount of distress the volunteers were experiencing. These people suffered a huge amount of mental deterioration.
Many people enjoy their time alone, but if someone is constantly alone, in the long run, it will have consequences.

Robert Boyle
Robert Boyle
Born on January 25, 1627, Munster, Ireland
Died on December 30, 1691, 64 years old
Known for creating Boyle’s Law
Was one of the early developers of the atomic theory
Boyle’s Law:
If the pressure of the gas is doubled, the volume will be halved if it is held under a constant temperature.
he used experiments that used temperature and gas
Working with gases made him come to the conclusion about the nature of matter especially gases.
Development of the atomic theory:
Because he understood the nature of gases he believed the corpuscular theory, which states that air was made of individual particles like atoms.
He published“The Skeptical Chymist” at the age of 34
The Skeptical Chymist is about overturning Aristotle’s Theory that everything’s made up of earth, water, fire, air and introducing his belief that matter is made of particles, The Atomic Theory
This is why he is called the Father of Chemistry often
Boyle disputed Aristotle's Theory, that the main four elements of the world are earth, air, fire and water
Importance:
He believed the corpuscular theory
One of the most recognized scientist of his time because of discovering Boyle’s Law
He is commonly referred as the “father of chemistry” because he believed that matter was made of atoms and that atoms were the base of everything

The Science of Music
We've all heard it or felt it at some point or another, whether it be at a restaurant or on a device. But what exactly does music do to your brain? Here are a few facts to get people thinking. When a human being listens to music, many regions of the brain are activated. Some examples are amygdala, sensory cortex and auditory cortex. The amygdala is a part of the brain that controls emotions and feelings. When music plays, the mood and tone of the music transfers to the amygdala, triggering an emotional response. This is why in many TV shows they use music in happy, sad or suspenseful situations. It triggers a more emotional response from people and makes them more attached to the show, whether they know it, or not. Ambient noise is also proven to improve creativity in people, though music blasting in the eardrum may not be great for their ears, a moderate amount of sound is the perfect amount to boost one's creativity. Moderate noise levels raise the processing level of perplexity of the brain. If the question is too hard, the person will give up easily, if too easy, no creative approaches will be taken. Though there are many positive side effects while listening to music, there is also a few negative ones. (other than making the music so loud the person becomes deaf, yes) one of the negative's is driving. Yes driving, while driving and listening to music, people tend to make more mistakes on the rode and drove more rashly. That was the only negative side effect the person who made this article found. So. Also they needed to fill up the 300 word checkpoint. The creator couldn't use I, you me, we... Oh shoot, they just did... go listen to really obscure music or something. Why is the person reading this still reading. Oh wait a second, the student has passed 300 words. Hooray.

Giant Cell Tumour of Bone
Giant Cell tumour of bone is a rare tumour that usually occurs at the end of the bodies long bones. It is a benign tumour meaning it is a non-cancerous tumour. That doesn't mean it cannot do harm.
Giant Cell Tumour of Bone is named for the giant cells that appear under the microscope when viewing the tumour. This tumour is seen slightly more in females and appears between the age of 20 and 40. It rarely is caught in adults over 65 or in children. This type of tumour is benign but can rapidly develop and destroy bone and in rare cases, they can spread to the lungs.
The most common symptom is pain where the area of the tumour is. The person might also have pains in moving with the nearby joint. The pain is generally tame at first but can become unbearable if not treated. Some patients will have no pain at all and will only notice a mass where the area of the tumour is formed.
The cause is unknown but there have been studies that suggest it is linked with, in rare cases, overactivity of the parathyroid glands—a condition known as "hyperparathyroidism."
Without treatment, a giant cell tumour will continue to grow and destroy the surrounding bone. Treatment is crucial to get better. There are a few ways to treat this.
Surgery
Curettage. Curettage is a surgical procedure, most commonly used to try to get rid of these tumours. In curettage, special medical tools are used to scrape the tumour out of the bone.
Afterwards,a bone graft would fill the gap in the bones or the doctors will use cement to fill the gap.
2. Non-surgical Treatment
Radiation. This would be used to shrink giant cell tumours in areas where surgery may be more challenging to achieve. Since this may lead to patients developing cancer, it is used only when absolutely necessary.
Tumour embolization. This procedure blocks specific arteries and kills the nutrient supply to the tumour. The tumour cells begin to die Most often, embolization is performed prior to surgery, but it may also be used on its own in cases where surgery cannot be performed.
Medication. There are some treatments that the FDA have approved are injectable medication. The medication works by targeting a receptor that breaks bone on the tumour cells. This slows down the breakdown of bone. The medication is sometimes used in cases where surgery cannot be performed, for recurrent tumours or used if not all of the tumour was surgically removed.
In conclusion, this is a fairly rare tumour and can be easily treated if done correctly.
Sixth Nerve Palsy
Learn:
These articles teach readers of the effects of Sixth Nerve Palsy.
Sixth Nerve Palsy is a weakness of the nerve that innervates the lateral rectus muscle. The lateral rectus muscle rotates the eye away from the nose. (AAPOS, 2016) This weakness makes the muscle opposing the lateral rectus overpower the lateral rectus making the person's eye appear crossed, and the patient sees double.
Though the mot frequent causes are strokes, head trauma, brain tumors and even migraines, it can be present at birth.
This disorder can get better over time, but it depends on what type of trauma the person. Usually head injury Sixth Nerve Palsy heals in the first couple of months. (Micheal Rubin, 2016)
Think:
This type of Palsy is not catastrophic, though it is very annoying. I having to deal with this myself find it especially frustrating when trying to work, read or focus. The double vision can give certain people headaches and makes people look very odd and unfocused. This can give people in social situations awkward explanations if they are shy… This condition may also lead to bullying in younger children because they look different.
Ask:
Why does this only focus on one eye?
How can it be fixed faster?
Can this even be fixed faster?
If born with this Palsy, would it affect the learning capability of a child, would they grow out of it, or would the become so use to it so they didn’t notice it any longer?
