research journal assignment #8

[For years parallel universes were nothing but Science fiction. Writers loved to speculate on the possibility of other universes which might exist. In one, Elvis Presley might still be alive or the British Empire might still have control over the Americas.]

This is the Original -For years parallel universes were a staple of the Twilight Zone. Science fiction writers loved to speculate on the possible other universes which might exist. In one, they said, Elvis Presley might still be alive or in another the British Empire might still be going strong.

research journal assignment #9

1.  I have found that the majority of people don’t believe in parallel universes. So what would happen if Parallel Universes could be proven. Everyone ideals would be shaken. What if we found ways to explore them, maybe space isn’t the final frontier.

2. The Universe has captivated the human race with it's mystery and beauty, But what if there wasn't just one universe but many different ones even an infinite number? It's enough to blow your mind but scientist many have found Parallel Universes.

3. There are many different theories of Parallel Universes but the main three are infinite space so infinite earths and infinite possibilities or Level one, Level two is the bubble theory were there are many different universes floating in hyperspace like bubbles. Then finally Level three Which is the infinite dimension theory where there are infinite outcomes just like level one but its all in the same universes and earth just in a different dimension.

Research journal assignment #7

My first evaluation will be on a article out of Skeptical Inquirer Magazine. This article was published in a science magazine so the reliability of this article is very good in my opinion. The author also seems to use a lot of vocabulary that only scientists would know and he give definitions for all the words that the general public would not know. The information in this article is also right on he gives science experiments and the scientist that conduct them. it was only written 7 years ago so it is pretty up to date. I would say that this Article is very reliable.

One article that i found on the web was how stuff works "do parallel universes really exist?". The author of this article really did his homework because he explains everything so simple and easy to understand that you know he is an expert on this topic. There are also no spelling or grammar problems so it has been published and looked over many times. There is nothing out of the ordinary in this article so it is also reliable.

I have found books in library's all over but couldn't seem to find them when i got there, so i have looked at some books o papers online one is written by the scientist i want to interview so i know that it is very reliable. The paper is kind of difficult to read but i know must of what he is saying.

Research journal assignment #7

1. I used Yahoo directory
2. My keyword was Parallel Universes
3. no search strategy
4. 3/15/09
5. number of hits was 61
6. the relevance was a 5 for the first couple then it went down to a 2.5 for the rest

I did like using the yahoo directory because it allowed me to find my best web sites a lot faster then just doing a general search on google.

Research journal assignment #6

My plan for my field research would be to have a couple of interviews and maybe one survey if i can't get an interview. For my interview i will try and interview a scientist that has written many papers on parallel universes and other topics of physics, he is one of the most brilliant minds today. The only problem with trying to interview this scientist is that he is a very busy man and you have to wait on a waiting list to do this. So i think that trying to get an interview with this scientist is not very practical. If i can't get this interview my backup plan is to conduct a survey on how much people really know about Parallel universes and if they think it is real.
