Hello, my name is Nathan Morningstar and I am a Junior even though this is my fourth semester  attending Penn State. I am majoring in Security Risk analysis and minoring in information system technologies and following the cyber security path. During my time in high school, I was very intrigued by the many different science courses my school had to offer, including those of marine biology and oceanography due to my interest  to become a Marine Biologist. However, after my first deployment while serving active duty in the United States Marine Corps, I realized that my interest in computer sciences was my true interest. From there on, I began reading books and learning about cyber security  and information systems technologies. That is why I am not planning on becoming a science major                                                             Link for picture found here

I am taking SC200 for two reason’s, one because this is a different way of viewing science in general, and the second being that one of my best friends and roommates is in this class which definitely helps because if either one of us were to for some reason not make it to class, we would have each other covered. Surprisingly , I had always done very well, when it came to to anything math or science related. However when I heard that this didn’t involve much math or absurd formulas but instead required more research and open thought, i thought that this would be a interesting class.

While I am not planning on becoming a Science major, however i do like discussing about things that are science related or reading news articles that pertain to new discoveries or thoughts about scientific fields. However, one question that i had thought about came after learning that scientists were trying to recreate the big bang ( no not the TV show) was what would happen if these scientists were to successfully recreate the big bang. What would happen? would they be able to contain it or prevent the ultimate destruction of the world?  Link to information pertaining to the first successful attempt/ recreation of the big bang found here, and link to Stephen Hawking’s warning about recreating the big bang found here .
