Here are the symptoms, according to Healthline : A fever above degrees Fahrenheit or a temperature below New York: Shocken Books, Schlickeiser, Richard. I - Derivation of the kinetic equation and application to cosmic rays in static cold media. II - Cosmic rays in moving cold media with application to diffusive shock wave acceleration.
The first section of this essay will broadly explore the etymology of the word "shock. Benjamin's work was chosen both because his conception of shock directly addresses the human mediation of an external environment and because his formulation of shock is by far the most influential one in modern media theory.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, shock , adopted from the French word choquer, was first used in its most common noun form in the mid 16th Century as a military term meaning "the encounter of an armed force with the enemy in a charge or It is intriguing because it does not define the occasion of shock as one force acting on another, but rather the meeting of two seemingly equal, or at least not explicitly unequal, forces.
But this equality, in form or size, of colliding bodies, is not present in a later, more specifically physical usage, which defines shock as "a sudden and violent blow This usage is most frequently applied to the study of physics, and the OED quotes a science and technology encyclopedia as explaining, "such shock arises when body at one uniform temperature is suddenly accelerated to or decelerated from high supersonic or hypersonic speeds.
One experiment on cosmic-ray transport and acceleration applied the derivation of the kinetic equation to cosmic rays first in "static cold media," then in "moving cold media with application to diffusive shock wave acceleration" Schlickeiser, p. Perhaps the most loaded definition of shock for the purposes of a study of media, is a medical one which presents shock as "a sudden debilitating effect produced by over-stimulation of nerves.
Also a stimulation of nerves with resulting contraction of muscles and feeling of concussion. In his analysis of both Baudelaire and the cinema, Walter Benjamin employs this final definition of shock as over-stimulation within the context of psychoanalysis.
In his essay, "On Some Motifs in Baudelaire," Benjamin quotes Freud as writing "'for a living organism, protection against stimuli is an almost more important function than the reception of stimuli'" According to Freud, the human "'protective shield,'" which has its own energy, guards the nervous system against "'the excessive energies of the outside world'" For Benjamin reading Freud, "the threat of these energies is one of shocks" and "the more readily consciousness registers these shocks, the less likely they are to have a traumatic effect" Ben was fascinated by storms; he loved to study them.
If he were alive today, we could probably add "storm-chaser" to his long list of titles. It was in Boston, Massachusetts, in that Franklin first stumbled upon other scientists' electrical experiments. He quickly turned his home into a little laboratory, using machines made out of items he found around the house. During one experiment, Ben accidentally shocked himself. In one of his letters, he described the shock as.
Franklin spent the summer of conducting a series of groundbreaking experiments with electricity. He wrote down all of his results and ideas for future experiments in letters to Peter Collinson, a fellow scientist and friend in London who was interested in publishing his work.
By July, Ben used the terms positive and negative plus and minus to describe electricity, instead of the previously used words "vitreous" and "resinous. Later the same year, he explained what he believed were similarities between electricity and lightning, such as the color of the light, its crooked direction, crackling noise, and other things.
There were other scientists who believed that lightning was electricity, but Franklin was determined to find a method of proving it. By , in addition to wanting to prove that lightning was electricity, Franklin began to think about protecting people, buildings, and other structures from lightning.
This grew into his idea for the lightning rod. Franklin described an iron rod about 8 or 10 feet long that was sharpened to a point at the end. He wrote, "the electrical fire would, I think, be drawn out of a cloud silently, before it could come near enough to strike Surprisingly, he never wrote letters about the legendary kite experiment; someone else wrote the only account 15 years after it took place.
In June of , Franklin was in Philadelphia, waiting for the steeple on top of Christ Church to be completed for his experiment the steeple would act as the "lightning rod".
