Give Some of Your Time to Help

Have you ever wonder how you could help the world by staying at home? How you could donate without spending your hard-work earned money? How you could changes positively lives of others? Well stop asking you these questions; I have the answer for you.

Goodeed is web site that allows you to make free donations. You maybe ask yourself how does it works. Well it is simple. First, you choose for which project you want to make a donation. There is many of them. Then, all you have to do is to watch 20 seconds of ads and confirm your donation. The money generated by the ads is given to the organisation who runs the project. It is simple and efficient

I regularly use Goodeed to make donation because I think it is the best way to make donations online. I really like the simplicity of these donations. I truly recommend you to go on this web site, create an account and start giving a little bit of your time.

A Mind-Blowing Discovery

In January 2017, a group of scientists of Harvard University have made a big breakthrough in physics. They’ve succeed to make what could be the rarest and the most valuable material on Earth. The physicists Isaac Silvera, who has been working on this problem for 45 years, and Ranga Dias managed to transform hydrogen gas, element number one of the periodic table, into a metallic state. To perform this amazing scientific advancement, Silvera’s team first used two heavy-duty diamonds to squeeze gaseous hydrogen and then lowered the temperature to -252°C  so he could take its liquid state. They then gradually increased the pressure until hydrogen finally took its metallic form, at around 4,65 million atmospheres. “This is the holy grail of high-pressure physics. It’s the first-ever sample of metallic hydrogen on Earth, so when you’re looking at it, you’re looking at something that’s never existed before.”, says Isaac Silvera.

Personally, I think this discovery is awesome because it could be use in almost every domain. Metallic hydrogen is meta-stable, it means it would still stay in this state if the pressure was removed. It is also a superconductor which means it does not have electric resistance. Imagine wires made of this material. We could transport energy across the country without any loss. I think the day we’ll be able to use metallic hydrogen at high scale, will be revolutionary for sciences.

About me

My name is Raphaël Thénor. I am a 16 years old boy with brown hairs and eyes. I live in Maskinongé, Québec in Canada. It is a nice and calm village about 45 minutes away from Trois-Rivières.  I live there with my parents, my two brothers and my sister. I started this blog because, as you can see in the title, it is a project for my English class. According to my teacher, it’s a fun way to evaluate us on our writing. I’m not sure of this. But I can’t do anything about that so let’s continue my presentation. I like to read and to travel. One of my dreams would be to travel around the world (like almost everybody). Since I have nothing else to say I’ll finish with a quote:
