Research journal assignment #4

http://brianpeterman.blogspot.com/  i commented on the articles of his blog so it is the first page i think 4a.

da-ameliasblog.blogspot.com/ it was also 4a.

I search the Aurora library, jeffco library, and the virtual library

keywords were Parallel and Universe

search strategies were look for the most accessible

number of hits none for metro, two for jeffco and about 20 for the virtual library

relevance of hits was a 4

research journal assignment #4

Finding my articles that i will be using in my research paper, i just simply used google and yahoo to find my articles. One reason that i choose this was because the other ways that the research journal suggested didn't give me any results, i think that is because my topic isn't a very popular one. However here are some articles that i found.
1. Do Parallel Universes really exist?
- How Stuff Works, Inc
- 1998-2009
- one page

2. Parallel Universes
-Michio Kaku
- BBC
- 2002
- one page

3. Muliverse
- Wikipedia
- 2009
- Wikimedia Foundation Inc.
- five pages

Resource searched- Google
keywords- Parallel and Universes
Search strategies- have mostly been using you tube for documentaries
date search- 2-17-09 and 2-14-09
number of hits- on google a lot but on what the research journal offered me zero
relevance of hits- most were a 3

Research journal assignment #3

I think that the five research options i have for this project would be mostly Interviews and observations. This is because the only information that i will get are theories so they could or couldn't be true. So i am just taking scientists best knowledge from their experiments and what they believe to do my report. But i think that surveys will also help, because it will give me an idea of what the majority of scientists believe is true on this subject. I also will be doing most of my research online so peoples opinions might also effect my research (both bad and good). However i think that most of  my information will be from a very highly rated scientist that appears on many science show and web sights. i feel that he is one of the smartest men in the science community right now, he also makes his explanations so that everyone can understand them, by using examples and other different ways to think and view the subject just in a different way.

"Phrases"
1."Parallel Universes"
2."Parallel Universes and it's effect"
3."Parallel Universes and the human race"

Boolean Searches
1. parallel universes and the human race
2. parallel universes or other universes

Research journal assignment #3

 My research question is, What are the different theories of Parallel Universes and what effects could they have for the human race if found to exist?

Keywords:

1.Parallel:having the same direction, course, nature, or tendency,corresponding,similar
2.Universe:cosmos,space,everything,mysterious
3.Effects:Something brought about by a cause
4.Human: Man,controlling,smart,violent,everyone
5.Race: entirety,the species, as a whole
6.Exist: to be here, alive, somewhere out there, with a purpose

Parallel Universe Survey

This survey will determine on how well you are educated about Parallel Universes and their theory.  Please answer to the best of your knowledge so that I can get approximant readout of what the general pubic does and does not know about this controversial topic.

 

1. Did you know that scientists have created theories of different kinds of parallel universes (after recent experiments in which partials have just disappeared into thin air then reappeared somewhere else)?

 

       (Circle one)            yes           no

 

2.  In a parallel universe every possibility that could happen has happened because there are infant universes so that means infant earths?

 

                          (Circle one)      yes                no

 

3.  That there are three different ideas on how parallel universes exist?

 

(Circle the ones you have heard of)

 

a.  The universe is infant and never stops so that must mean that there are multiple earths and every possibility that could happen has.

                         

 

                           b.  That parallel universes are in little bubbles and there are infant bubbles of these universes so every possibility has happened in them too.

                         

 

                           c.  That universes are created when two dimensions hit each other which then causes the big bang however we don’t know how many other universes would be out there because of this.

 

4.  Which experiment is the one that is going to prove that there are parallel universes?

 

(Circle the ones that are right)

a.     A giant underground ring that is over 16 miles in length and will shoot particles at near light speed and collide two particles to see what happens.

b.     Scientist are building a radiation gun that will decay the atoms in a certain area where they will get a quick view into another universes.

c.       A giant telescope is going to shoot two lasers out to the edge of the universes that we can see and the using the two lasers distance they will find if the universe is curved or if it is infant.

 

 

5.  And just out of curiosity do you believe in the theory of parallel universes?

 

               (Circle one)     yes         no

Research journal assignment #2

What- what are the effect on what we thought the universe was if we discover parallel universes?
Why- Why are scientists searching for these parallel universes?
When- When did scientist start think that there might be different universes out there?
Where- Where are these parallel universe's if they exist?
Who- Who was the first to come up with the theory of the parallel universe
How- How would scientist discover a parallel universe?
Could- Could parallel universes even exist?
Should- Should we even be searching for these universes or are we pushing science to far?
 I think that my research question would best fit the What category.
 My research question will be  What are the different theories of Parallel Universes and what effects could they have for the human race if found to exist?

Research journal assignment #2

I have thought about my topic and how very big and in depth it is so i think that i do need to narrow my topic down. I think that just the major hypothesis will be enough to wright a paper on. I will put in both sides of the topic, and peoples/scientists idea's on why there are parallel universe's and why there might not be. I believe that if i do this and debate for both sides that it will be more then enough to write my paper.

Research journal assignment #2

I have chosen a new topic to do my research paper on. I have chosen Parallel Universes for my new topic. I just find our universe very interesting and mysterious. Now with the thought that there could be parallel universes also,  it just fascinates me. The majority of my research is just what i know about it now, however i did just watch a show about parallel universe's on the History channel (the show is called The Universe). I have also Googled it a little just to see what other people think about my topic. I have found that it is a very touchy subject because it is all just theories about what could really be out there.  It is just mind blowing to even think about it.
