The viscosity of a particular fluid is an interesting parameter that plays an important role in fluid dynamics of that fluid. We chose the common household cooking item canola oil. Using a ball drop, we set out to measure viscosity at various temperatures and create a model for the viscosity of canola oil as a function of temperature, as well as an accurate measurement for viscosity at room temperature. It was found that the viscosity between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius can be approximated using an exponential function and that an estimation for viscosity at room temperature was not very difficult to obtain. The precision of this measurement was limited by uncertainty in lab equipment used to measure various quantities as well as the image analysis software we used and the limited frame-rate of our camera.

To get the correct answer one must ask the correct question. In the field of Quantum Gravity the question has been how do we quantize General Relativity or derive a quantum theory which becomes General Relativity at low energies. Observing that Quantum Field Theory was the result of making Quantum Mechanics into a relativistic theory, I asked myself why not make QFT obey the principles of GR? I answered this question with a model I call Relativization. In a series of three papers I presented an answer to this alternative question which gives finite results for everything from black holes to particle physics.

El barómetro es un instrumento de medición atmosérica, específicamente utilizado en la determinación de la fuerza por unidad de superficie ejercida por el peso de la atmósfera. Existe un gran número de equipos atmoféricos con distintos tipos de estos aparátos y son diariamente utilizados ya que la presión atmosférica juega un papel importante en la determinación y pronóstico del tiempo así como en el área de investigación al momento de realizarse experimentos ya que pueden llegar a afectar o hacer variar el funcionamiento de muchos aparatos electrónicos y mecánicos.

Comprensión de un estudio realizado en la mica-epoxi para placas de circuitos. El estudio consistió en pruebas de resistencia para medir el desgaste en el tiempo del material y así determinar su tiempo de vida aproximado.

When most people think of physics, they think of what they learned in high school physics: that the world is fundamentally predictable. Given the position and velocity of a particle in space, it should be possible to predict its position at any moment in the future---right? Though this was thought to be true for thousands of years, recent developments in the field of physics have shown that this isn't actually true. Instead of being fundamentally predictable, the universe is fundamentally unpredicable. However, this doesn't seem to make sense. What happened to the centuries of physics developed by Newton, Bernoulli, and Lagrange? Well, as it turns out, they weren't actually wrong. Their equations were actually an approximation of a formula called the wavefunction, which is the "Newton's Laws'' equivalent for modern physics. In this paper, we'll take a look at this peculiar wavefunction---and why our intuition about the world is completely wrong. \centerline{This is Quantum Physics.}
