Vizzy 2020
The sun goes down as we finished our last unit, Time, in our class Light Sound and Time. In our unit Time, we studied what time is, how humans have interpreted it, and how we measure it. In more specific terms we learned how time is relative, how the universe was born, time zones, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), longitude, latitude, how insignificant we are in the celestial calendar, time dilation, and time travel. In terms of math, we learned about gravitational waves, calculus, periods, arc length, inverse trig functions, distance formula, and radians.
We also finished what we called 'mini-lessons', which are student-made lessons based on a chapter in one of the books we were assigned to read which included Einstein's Dreams, E=mc^2, and A Brief History of Time. I did my presentation on Chapter 4 of A Brief History of Time, The Uncertainty Principle. I talked about LaPlace and Determinism and how it was crushed by the Uncertainty Principle and Planks Constant.
For the class, we went on one FE to the Adler Planetarium where we looked at old relics of time measurement. Things like the sundials, sextants, chronometers, and other time measuring devices. Fittingly for our AP, we were told to create a time measuring device of our own. So, without further ado here is my creation the Vizzy 2020.
To conclude this great class I have only curiosity and excitement left. This class has been a fascinating exploration of how we live our lives and how we experience all of our senses. After this class, I have more knowledge about our universe and at the same time many more questions about it. I want to continue exploring light, sound, and time to understand my life a little better than I did before. Thank you for following me on this journey, I hope you learned something along to way too. Remember getting lost is simply another way of exploring.
