The Above Photograph shows the attendees of the 1927 Solvay Conference.  Some of the finer scientific minds of the 20th and 19th century are PICTURED.

Thank You to the authors, creators & innovators  giving us a deeper grasp of the physical universe!
Optimizing battery life - why you may not wish to carry a 100% charge
Hydrogenated water

What is science?

Size of an atom and repulsive charges

Einstein on gravity: probably not a "force" and it doesn't "pull".

Mixture, Emulsion, Moisture

Heat Pump; Refrigerators, Exchange of Energy

HEY!  Don't forget that under the NOTES tab, at the bottom of that tab, I have included three or four MS Word documents you can use to generate ideas for your final term paper. 

However,   I have ALSO scattered ideas which may help with your final paper under this current tab.  Most of the video and paper  links are great sources - but some are a bit more direct than most.  Use CtrlF and search for final paper idea
