  • Are Noise Control Products a Solution for Background Noise in Schools?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Acoustics deals with the study of sound, that is of mechanical waves in liquids, gases and solids. The term ‘acoustic’ comes from ancient Greek and it refers to the ability of being heard. Acoustics studies the sound from production and control, through transmission and to reception and effects. The initial studies focused on mechanical vibrations and their radiations through mechanical waves. These studies are still continuing in the present. Waves and sound involve physical processes.
  • Can a Black Hole Lose its Clothes?  By : Burt Jordaan
    Black holes are theorized to have singularities in their centers. The event horizons of black holes shield the central singularities from outside observation, a principle called the "cosmic censorship hypothesis", coined by Sir Roger Penrose. However, black holes may have a way to sidestep Sir Roger's censorship.
  • Garbage-In-Gigawatts-Out  By : Burt Jordaan
    The quest for free energy has fascinated humankind ever since we became "energy-hungry". So far the quest has been without success, but out there, in deep space, may hide a solution – spinning black holes.
  • Relativistic "Stay Young Treatment"  By : Burt Jordaan

  • The Dangerous Future of Laser and Fiber Optics  By : Rodger Bailey, MS
    We are living in an age where technology is the driving force that is moving us forward as a civilization. It seems that with each passing month new pieces of information give way to new kinds of technology that unravel and give way to more and more advances that push us into an age that may, to some critics, become so dependent on technology that we might be beyond help. Laser and fiber optics, computerized technology, and everything between are at the focal point of this technological evolution.

  • Let's Know More on Science Related Issues  By : Wandile Maseko
    In science fair competitions, if you can show that you are following the scientific method, you are well on your way to impressing the judges. Although Scientific Management does play an important role in the 21st century, it is necessary to note that this method of management contains weaknesses that limit its influence in current work environments, and consequently not all of its tenants are applicable to modern organizations. It is perhaps then better to accept that as a complete theory Scientific Management is not visible in modern organizations, however, elements of it are so relevant that they have become deeply ingrained in all modern organizations and are the very reasons why management has taken on new dimension in the 21st Century.
  • The Mysterious Conversational Hypnosis  By : Manuel Wiggins
    Directed conversation is done to induce hypnosis in people. It is called a conversationally hypnosis. Yet, there is a difference between conventional hypnotism and conversational hypnosis.
