Elizabethan era

The Elizabethan Era is the period associated with Queen Elizabeth I’s reign (1558–1603) and is often considered to be the golden age in English History.  It was the height of the English Renaiisance and saw the flowering of English poetryand literature. This was also the time during which Elizabethan theatre flourished and William Shakespeare and many others, composed plays that broke free of England’s past style of plays and theatre. It was an age of exploration and expansion abroad, while back at home, the Protestant Reformation became the national mindset of all the people.

1) What words and or images come to mind when you hear the word Jesus.

• The Sacred Heart of Jesus
• Christ
• Holy Spirit
• God
• Cruxifix
• Mary

2) Why might it be important for young people to identify with an image of Jesus?

Because it makes it easier to believe. Without and image it may make it harder to believe.

3) Where in your life do you most associate with images of Jesus?

On my Holy Communion.

Steady State Theory- 

In cosmology, the Steady State theory (also known as the Infinite Universe theory or continuous creation) is a model developed in 1948 by Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, Hermann Bondi and others as an alternative to the Big Bang theory (known, usually, as the standard cosmological model). In some steady state views, new matter is continuously created as the universe expands, so that the perfect cosmological principle is adhered to. Although the model had a large number of supporters among cosmologists in the 1950s and 1960s, the number of supporters decreased markedly in the late 1960s with the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation, and today only a very small number of supporters remain. The key importance of the steady-state model is that as a competitor to the Big Bang, it was an impetus in generating some of the most important research in astrophysics, much of which ultimately ended up supporting the Big Bang theory.

Static universe-

The idea of a static universe or “Einstein’s universe” is one which demands that space is not expanding nor contracting but rather is dynamically stable. Albert Einstein proposed such a model as his preferred cosmology by adding a cosmological constant to his equations of general relativity to counteract the dynamical effects of gravity which in a universe of matter would cause the universe to collapse. This motivation evaporated after the discovery by Edwin Hubble that the universe is not static, but expanding; in particular, Hubble discovered a relationship between redshift and distance, which forms the basis for the modern expansion paradigm. This led Einstein to declare this cosmological model, and especially the introduction of the cosmological constant, his “biggest blunder”.

a. Hubble’s involvement in space research.

Edwin Hubble stated that the universe is expanding and that the further away the galaxies and the stars are, the faster they are reciding from us.

b. What the space telescope does.

The Hubble space telescope is a space telescope that was carried into earths orbit by the space shuttle in April 1990. The Hubble space telescope taught us about asteroids, meteors, planets and stars.

c. Where is it?

It is travelling around the earth about 569km up. Alsmost as big as a school bus, and weighing 14 500 pounds, the telescope travels around the earth at 5 miles per second.

d. What Hubble’s constant is.

Hubble’s initial value for the expansion rate, now called Hubble’s constant, was approximately 500km/s Mpc or about 160km/second per million- light years.

Watch the following clip on the Dalia Lama:

Answer the following questions on your blog:1.) Give a brief description of who the Dalai Lama is? (Include resources to support)

Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso (born 6th July 1935 in Tibet), is the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama.  He is a practicing member of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddihsm and is influential as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, as the world’s most famous Buddhist monk, and as exiled leader of theTibeta government in Dharamsala, India.

2.) Evaluate how the actions of the Dalai Lama in regard to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity.

The moral integrity of the Dalai Lama is authentic. He is celebrated around the world for his kindness. In the riots in Tibet he was asked if he held any hatred against the Chinese. When asked that question he jumped out of his seat and said The Chinese have done horrible things to us; they continue to do these things even now. But I still hold no hatred in my heart for them.”
