According to tyson, what two ideas did people once think were impossible, even though they do not defy any laws of physics
kakasveta [241]

Two ideas that people once thought imposible even if they didnt violate laws of physics were-

  • Idea of human flying
  • Idea of breaking the sonic barrier

Explanation:

Neil Tyson says that the idea of flying and breaking of the sonic barrier was earlier considered impossible, even if they did not specifically violate any laws of Physics.

The idea of flying had grown as an envy component in humans on seeing birds fly. Kelvin in his essay had argued for a machine that could fly and was heavier than air.

Similarly, the idea of breaking the Sonic boom was earlier considered to be impossible, but no physics law prevented it from happening. E.g. The bullets fired from the guns were travelling at a rate faster than the speed of the sound. However, after the Bell aircraft broke the sonic barrier, it was widely believed that the barrier can be broken.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
liberstina [14]

Answer:

C)This metaphor is significant because water is a symbol of youth and beauty, which the mirror reflects.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a figure of speech widely used in poems, because it is a figure of expressive content. Through the use of metaphor, the author can produce phrases of figurative meanings, through comparisons between two things that will bring a poetic and expressive meaning to a given phrase.

We can see an example of this, in the question above, where the author uses the metaphor to compare a mirror with a lake, in a very poetic way. This is because the mirror has the ability to reflect the image that is placed in front of you, when the woman places herself in front of the mirror she sees her young and beautiful image. Youth and beauty can be symbolized through the water of a lake that remains youthful for eternity and owner of a beauty reflected in its waters.
