What if aliens existed?

What if aliens really existed? I have always asked myself this question and I always come up with the same answers. I always think about what the aliens would look like and what the world would be like if they really did exist. I also think about whether or not if the aliens would be friends or foes, and are they more advanced than the human race? I believe that if they really did exist and we knew about it the world would be completely different. I think that if they were more advanced than the human race and the aliens were friendly then we could benefit from them completely. On the other hand if the aliens were hostile with us then they could hinder the human race's advancement. They could do this in several different ways. They could declare a state of war against the human race and take over the world. Hopefully if they do exist then they are not hostile towards the human race but then again the human race is a very domineering race, always wanting power and control. Thinking about all of this makes you wonder if the movies descriptions are true or not. It spikes your imagination and then you start to think about what they really would be like. Would they really be flying in flying saucers or disks. It also makes you wonder if they really do exist or are they just a figment of the imagination. As big as the universe is there is that slight possibility that they might actually exist, but then again who knows. I know that I don't and there is that possibility that we may never know because the universe is so massive. It would take us way too long to even begin to get out of our solar system unless we made some remarkable, innovating, and groundbreaking discoveries or inventions.

What if the sun exploded.

What if the sun exploded, and what would happen to the earth and the human race if this happened? It is a scary thought but if the sun were to explode what would the human race do and what would be the outcome of this catastrophic event. I believe that if this were to happen then there would be a great deal of panic, that is if anything or anyone survived the explosion. If the sun were to explode that would probably be the end of the earth and everything else that is known in our solar system. The sun would explode probably destroying everything that is close to it. If the sun would not blow up everything with it then the planets would be engulfed in a cloud of darkness forever and the planets also would not be held together by the gravitational forces that holds them together. There is also the possibility that the planets could be sucked into a black hole. I believe that if this were to happen then the human race would go extinct. If we were not destroyed completely by the explosion then the people and all the other living things would die off from freezing, starving, or suffocating. All of these ways are linked to each other because if sun exploded then the planet would freeze over and all of the plants would die. Over a period of time all of the food sources would deplete leaving everyone to start to death, that is if everyone does not suffocate before dying of starvation because no plants would mean that there would not be any oxygen as well. Another possibility is that everyone would just go crazy and start blowing everything up. Hopefully this will not happen in our lifetime because that would be an absolute horrible way to end the world.

What if refrigerators did not exist?

You never think about how life would be like if we did not have some of the most basic appliances that we have today. One of these appliances is the refrigerator, but what if this appliance was never invented? What would life be like and what would the people's reaction be if all of the refrigerators just stopped working? If refrigerators did not exist then people would find other ways to preserve their food like they used to. People would still be using ice boxes and salts in order to preserve their food. Today we do not think about these appliances like that because we use them every day. I think that people would not know how to react to the situation today if all the refrigerators just stopped working completely. I think that there would be food wasted everywhere because it is produced in such a massive quantity making all of the grocery stores lose money. The more modernized people would not know exactly how to do everything like the people used to have to do. I think that modern people might possibly have a hard time with this concept because it is not what they are used to doing. I know that I would not know how to preserve my food without a refrigerator or an ice box. I would be losing some food and some money because of this and I would have to actually cook the food when I got it. Refrigerators have become a necessity but at the same time they could and can be replaced with ice boxes in order to accomplish the same thing that the refrigerator does, keeping the food cool and preserving it as long as the ice is there. We would not be able to store as much food in it though. I think that it would be good for us but at the same time it would be bad.

Reflection: The Periodic Table

I thought that the book was very interesting. I found it interesting how Primo Levi linked named his chapters as elements and linked them to his life. For instance he named one of his chapters nickel because he worked in a nickel mine and so he told the story of how he worked in the mine. To be quite honest I never thought that a book that contained the name the Periodic Table would be such a good book. I never thought that I would have liked it as much as I did. It still amazes me. I liked how he described some of his first lab encounters. Like when he took the match and lit it to test to see if the gas in the jar was really hydrogen or if it were chlorine gas. It kind of made me laugh because that was not the brightest idea, but then again he did prove his point.

What if the Civil War did not happen?

What if the civil war didn't happen? What if we still had slaves? This puts a different toll on everyone's life. In the south mainly, the confederacy would still exist. The south would not be part of the United States of America. Instead we would be called the Confederate States of America. Things would run the way they should have kept running until the Civil War happened. Slaves and plantations would still be the main focus of the South. I think that the South would be a lot different, and we could go back to being the "True South." Where dirt roads, farms, animals, tractors, and big trucks ruled. Life was as simple as piece of pie. Also, taxes would be a lot different. Since the Civil War was mainly over taxes and slavery was a side note, we would be affected differently with our money. Maybe, our country would not be in so much debt. Maybe people with rude attitudes would not be walking around thinking that the world owes them something. Maybe our social class system that we have would be structured differently. We would have two totally different sets of our class system; we would have the white class system and the colored class system. We would have separated schools. Along with schools being separated the bathrooms and public places would also be separated. All public offices would be completely segregated. Diversity would not exist in the South. However, I do believe the equal but separate clause would still be in effect. Though the South did not completely obey the equal but separate clause, I still believe that some kind of clause would exist in today's "Confederate States of America." If the Confederacy wanted cooperation from all races, something still would have had to change. However and ultimately, President Barack Obama would not be president, at least in the Confederate States of America.

What if flying cars existed?

What if flying cars existed and what would it be like to see all of the cars in the sky instead of on the ground? I have always dreamed of flying cars, actually I have always dreamed of being able to fly, and how cool it would be to be able to fly above the earth to go wherever you want in a short period of time. I also wonder what they would look like. Would they or would they not have wings? Would they look more like planes than cars? I personally think that it would be awesome to have flying cars, but how would the test for getting the license be. Would you have to take a written and an actual flying test or not. Would the airspace be crowded and the ground be free. I think that if flying cars really did exist I would probably stay on the ground because of the fact that the traffic in the air could be bad and what not. Also traveling on the ground could become faster because of this air traffic. It kind of makes you wonder what would happen if there really were flying cars and whether and how long it would take for this form of transportation to become affordable. Would the people flying these cars be called pilots or would they still be called drivers? It is the little things that make you wonder the most. Like who would be eligible to drive or fly these machines. Looking to the future I do not know how the whole idea of flying cars would be achieved. It kind of scares me to think of this because the all the crazy people in the world. I think that this would make it easier for people to get away with things as well.
