Another planet?!
This week scientists at the California Institute of Technology announced that they had observed some odd happenings at the edge of our planet. After running some simulations they came to the conclusion that the only thing causing such happenings had to be a planet around ten times the size of the Earth dubbed ‘Planet Nine’. It was by observing the orbits of the planets that they managed to come…

Freezing Cold Worms: Gley Soils
Freezing Cold Worms: Gley Soils
Welcome back to yet another bizarre topic of discussion. Today I will be looking at the gley soils. Gley soils form mainly in the most northern reaches of the Northern Hemisphere. Here it is, surprisingly enough, freezing for most of the year. These areas barely reach temperatures above 0°C thus meaning it is quite literally freezing. We could always make it look nice and say it was 273K. Soils…

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity
Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity
General Theory of Relativity is quite a fun, and fundamental, theory, but what is it? Today I shall be looking into it in more detail. Well, when I say more detail, I am sure the version I am familiar with is most likely a simplified version of it. Anyway, here we go. Firstly, we must understand the difference between an inertial and non-inertial frame of reference. An non-inertial frame of…

Formation of a Red Supergiants
Formation of a Red Supergiants
Hello everyone! I’m back from my rather long absence from this blog, I do apologise for my disappearance. This time round, I’ll be concentrating more on physics and geography than on religion and ethics. So let’s start off with a nice easy one, the formation of red supergiants. Red supergiants are a type of star found in the top right of a Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram. An example of one of these…

RMPS : Christianity - Baptism and Communion
Give a description of Baptism and Communion. 6KU (Answer awarded 6/6 in NAB) Baptism comes in two forms: infant baptism and believers baptism. Infant baptism is when a child is baptised or often referred to as Christened. During this ceremony a priest or church official will anoint the child’s forehead with holy water or wash the child’s head with holy water. This action is meant to wash away…

Easter - RMPS : The Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ
Easter - RMPS : The Passion, Death and Resurrection
It’s Easter Monday here in the UK so I thought I’d do a topical subject for once. One of the important parts of the Higher Religious, Moral and Philosophical Studies course is the passion, death and resurrection. With Easter being all about the passion, death and resurrection of Christ this is pretty relevant. Millions of people will be celebrating Jesus saving the world through his death,…

RMPS – Euthyphro Dilemma I can tell that many of you who have not studied any form of philosophy are sitting there going "What on earth is the Euthyphro Dilemma?
Fission, Fussion...PHYSICS!
There are two nuclear reactions mentioned in the (old) physics higher course. These are nuclear fission and fusion. They’re not only lovely sounding words, they’re also pretty cool reactions. Let’s start with nuclear fission. This type of reaction is used in nuclear reactors as it releases a vast amount of energy with no overly excessive need for energy input – unlike its nuclear sister fusion. A…

Amen (Is God Real?)
What you are about to read below is a discursive essay I wrote for my English portfolio. Although it may sound like it portrays my religious beliefs, it really doesn’t. For one, I am not a Christian. I hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions or simply want to start a friendly debate please feel free to in the comments section. Amen What do you see when you look to the stars? Do you see a…

Agnosticism, what is it?
A quick #guide to what #Agnosticism is. Do you think you may be #Agnostic
Good evening people of the internet. Today I felt like diving into something I have not explored as of yet and that is agnosticism. Many people in modern society feel they need to give themselves some sort of official label whether it be a job title or a religious group or anything almost. Every seems to have a label and one of these, in relation to religion or world view, is agnostic. Although…

Death in the Cathedral
Do Catholics believe in the #GrimReaper? - #Death in the Cathedral
On a recent trip to Paris we decided to visited the iconic Notre Dame cathedral. Not only is it an architectural masterpiece, it also has some rather interesting objects within it. To the right of the main alter is the tomb of Henri-Claude d’Harcourt, a French marquis. There is the sculpture of a man reaching out of his coffin with a women kneeling before the coffin and a half undressed man…

Fine Lines - Religious Freedom
Exploring the Fine Lines of Religious Freedom
Recently the US Supreme Court changed the law in al states allowing same-sex marriage. Although this is a fantastic change for the better it also left the American conservative Christian community a bit battered and beaten. It can be very hard deciding where the lines between religious freedom and discrimination but in situations such as this decisions have to be made. The question I’ll be…

Momentous Change For LGBT
Momentous Change For #LGBT but what about the #church?
! Disclaimer: I am not entirely sure if American churches are allowed to turn away same-sex marriage candidates. I am assuming from what I have read that they are not allowed to but if this is incorrect the following article is invalid and should not be taken as a factual argument. ! A couple of days ago the American Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage should now be legalised in all…

A brief look at the #history of the #Jewish people - A History of Hardships - Brief History of the Jews - World View Wednesday

Today there are around 13.9 million Jews worldwide (according to Jewish Virtual Library) and numbers are beginning to resemble their former strength before the devastating persecution of the Jews during WWII. However, World War Two was not the only time the Jewish people were…

Aldehydes and Ketones
Being a big music fan and a European I felt it necessary to watch the Eurovision Song Contest yesterday. You may be thinking ‘what on earth has this got to do with aldehydes and ketones?’ but don’t worry. The Georgian entry Nina Sublatti sang a song called Warrior. Listening to it I couldn’t quite make out what she was saying in the second line of the song. I proceeded to look up the lyrics and…
