Homework #3


# 59. The first problem with this article is that outside of a low quality photo there is no further empirical evidence that a UFO was seen or proven to have been in the sky that day. There is no other siting of the UFO except from this photographer reported which is means there is only one source of information. It is known in the Criminal Justice System that the worst kind of evidence to bring forward is eye witnesses. And if there is only one it makes the evidence that much weaker. Likewise, the evidence provided by the one source is subjective speculation information. According to him because the object is silver it must be metallic and therefore probably “scanned” a passage plan of its technology and copied it. On top of the fact it is an eyewitness, it is only one eyewitness, and on top of that he makes subjective assumptions with no real empirical evidence.


#51. The reason that the planets all formed in the motion they did and at the same time come down to two main concepts; the conservation of energy and the conservation of angular momentum. The nebular theory is the common understanding of the formation of the solar system. First we have a large cloud of gas that slowly start to collapse due to gravity. Based on the two concepts of conservation the cloud heats up and starts spinning as it contracts. Collisions between the particles in the cloud flatten the cloud into a disk. The Temperature is highest in the center and where the star forms. The other particles surrounding form the planets and continue the motion of the disk as the revolve around the central star.
