A hypothetical Laplacian machine could predict the future by calculating the trajectories of all the particles in the universe. This idea has been used to argue against the possibility of human free will. But if we had such a machine, we could ask it to predict how a human answers a certain question and, after hearing the prediction, the human could freely choose to answer in such a way as to make the prediction wrong. In this thought experiment:

Foreshadowing. the prologue states that this is the story of "star-crossed lovers." there are four strong foreshadowings of evil in act 1. identify at least two foreshadowings and explain their purpose.

Explain to someone who knows nothing about fossils the study of invertebrate paleontology and how it scientists understand the history of the earth. be sure your explanation contains a minimum of two complete sentences.

First, launch the video below. you will be asked to use your knowledge of physics to predict the outcome of an experiment. then, close the video window and answer the question at right. you can watch the video again at any point. part a as in the video, we apply a charge +q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge –q to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? view available hint(s) as in the video, we apply a charge + to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge – to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? it deflects more than it did at the end of the video. it deflects the same amount as at end of the video. it does not deflect at all. it deflects less than it did at the end of the video. submit
