I don’t think a month has gone by without somebody asking me this question at work or at a family gathering. Without a doubt, this is a serious question that warrants an explanation and solution.
Kids today are much more computer savvy than we are, so I would not recommend a single resolution that involves tweaking Internet Explorer.
Teenagers heading back to traditional brick-and-mortar schools are likely to struggle with sleep issues as they attempt to adjust their body clocks from a summer schedule, but those enrolled in the increasing number of Web-based learning programs may not face this difficulty. The majority of current Web-based learning programs, are asynchronous, meaning that the teacher and the students are not necessarily online at the same time. That means teenagers can sleep in and still put in a full day of classroom work via a Web-based learning program.
Capitalizes on Teen Body Rhythms
In 1999 computer simulations of magnetic fields in galaxy clusters by Klaus Dolag revealed that galaxy clusters are embedded in a large-scale spider-web-like structure of filaments. Extensive galaxy surveys also show that structures resembling sheets and filaments characterize the distribution of galaxies. Consistent with the simulations, this distribution resembles a complicated spider’s web several hundred mega parsecs in diameter. According to Nobel laureate, Hans Alfvén, space is filled with a network of currents which transfer energy and momentum over large distances. Hot plasma streams along such filamentary currents.
Now, astronomers have actually detected a “universal web”. Vast filaments of hot gas tracing the web have been “seen”. Astronomers using NASA’s X-ray satellite observatory, Chandra, “viewed” the filaments stretching for millions of light years through space, with one passing through our own galaxy. They calculate that the filaments contain five times more mass than all the stars in the universe!
