C'est peut-être l'un des plus beaux écrits épiques de la Renaissance, éloge des héros portugais de l'ancien temps et, par extension, de la nation tout entière, petite mais toujours indomptée. La découverte de la route des Indes par Vasco de Gama lui fournit le thème de départ de son poème, qu'il enrichit de référence à la mythologie ancienne. L'œuvre culmine dans la glorification éternelle de la conquête de la nature par...

Big Bang Theory - astronomy.
hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms can only absorb and emit specific colors, or wavelengths, of light. The formation of atoms allowed many other wavelengths of light,wavelengths that had been interfering with the free electrons prior to the cooling of the universe, to travel much farther than before. This change set free radiation thatwe can detect today. After billions of years of cooling, this cosmic background radiation is at about 3 K (-270°C/-454°F).The cosmic background radiation was first d...

Trigonometry
I
INTRODUCTION
Trigonometry, branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles and with the properties and applications of the
trigonometric functions of angles.
If point P, in the definition of the general trigonometric function, is on the y-axis, x is 0; therefore, because division by zero is inadmissible in mathematics, the tangent and secant of such angles as 90°, 270°, and -270° do not exist. If P is on the x-axis, y is 0; in this case, the cotangent and cosecant of such angles as 0°, 180°, and - 180° do not exist. All angles have sines and cosines, because r is never equal to 0. Since r is greater than or equal to x or y, the values of si...

Peut-on concevoir une société juste sans que les hommes ne le soient ?

compensator (or control) device (BCD or BC), which the diver wears as a vest. By adding air to the BCD, the diver becomes more buoyant and rises. By releasing air,the diver becomes less buoyant and sinks. With minor adjustments of air, the diver can achieve neutral buoyancy. A third hose attaches to pressure gauges that diversuse to monitor how much air remains in the tank. A fourth hose attaches to a backup breathing device called an alternate air source, or octopus. Divers also wear a belt w...

Panama Canal - Geography.
The size of ships using the Panama Canal has steadily increased. About 27 percent of the vessels that use the canal are built to the maximum dimensions that can passthrough it (a category called “Panamax”).

Since the 1940s, new U.S. battleships and aircraft carriers have been built exceeding the canal’sdi...
