1. What is the significance of the findings?
2. What surprising facts were revealed by the research?
3. What was the example of the eclipse and why is it relevant?
4. How did the famous scientists, whose examples were given, view their work and what motivated them?
5. What was the "Copernican Principle" stated at the beginning of the video and is this what Copernicus actually espoused himself (revealed at the end)?

Explanation / Answer
1) The general objectives of the nutrition survey were to assess the nutritional status of the troops and to evaluate this in terms of the nation's food production and food technology.
SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS
This study supports the accumulating amount of evidence indicating that neointimal SMC differ from resting, medial SMC in their ability to proliferate in response to injury, in their activation state and response to PDGF-R activation. Also, this study is the first one to show that neointimal cells are more resistant to programmed cell death than medial SMC - a finding which may also be helpful in understanding the pathogenesis of restenosis. Inhibition of IGF-1 or PDGF receptors can be used as therapeutic strategies in the inhibition of vasculoproliferative disorders such as restenosis after coronary angioplasty. More detailed studies in large animal models or human trials will eventually show whether this approach could also be used in treatment of human restenosis.
2) Most effectively demonstrates your ability as a researcher to think critically about an issue, to develop creative solutions to problems based upon a logical synthesis of the findings, and to formulate a deeper, more profound understanding of the research problem under investigation,Present the underlying meaning of your research, note possible implications in other areas of study, and explore possible improvements that can be made in order to further develop the concerns of your research,Highlight the importance of your study and how it may be able to contribute to and/or help fill existing gaps in the field. If appropriate, the discussion section is also where you state how the findings from your study revealed new gaps in the literature that had not been previously exposed or adequately described, andEngage the reader in thinking critically about issues based upon an evidence-based interpretation of findings; it is not governed strictly by objective reporting of information.
3) eclipse is an ideal opportunity to study the Sun under conditions impossible at any other time, as the crisp lunar shadow reveals the corona’s inner and middle parts in visible light. Ground-based observations along with satellite data offer the most complete view of the Sun’s atmosphere ever seen. Another mystery that scientists would try to solve is the strange migration pattern of sunspots from the Sun’s north and south latitudes towards its ‘equator’ which, on a map, looks like the wings of a butterfly. This butterfly movement holds the key to one of the major mysteries in solar physics: The solar ‘dynamo’, which converts mechanical motions on the Sun into magnetic energy.
The minutes of totality also give scientists an excellent opportunity to measure the temperature of Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun. With the Sun hidden, Mercury can be studied in infrared light (which is used to measure the temperature of objects that are not hot enough to radiate light).
4)1. Isaac Newton- During Newton's formative years, it was common place for the young man to develop various devices while attending school. His devotion to studies and high marks in school were impressive to many. Although his mother attempted to make a farmer of him by removing young Isaac from school, the schoolmaster and his uncle suggested to his mother that he return to school to finish his education. Isaac Newton attended Cambridge University upon finishing school in 1661. He developed a variety of scientific methods and discoveries including those in optics and colors.

B. Albert Einstein - In his younger years, Albert Einstein had always shown a great interest in mathematics and science. Einstein attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic examinations in Zurich. Although his scores were below standard in many of the required subjects, his mathematics and physics skills were exceptionally high. From there, Albert Einstein attended Aargau Cantonal School in Aarau, Switzerland where he graduated with passing grades in some subjects and receiving the highest grade scale possible in mathematics and physics. His theories have laid the ground work for many scientists of today and is most notable for the Theory of Relativity.
C. Galileo Galilei - While at the University of Pisa studying for a medical degree at the age of 17, Galileo Galilei became enthralled with how movements of air currents could cause a chandelier to sway in a rhythmic pattern. Setting up a set of differentiating pendulums, Galileo discovered that regardless of the size difference the pendulums kept time with each other. The young man changed his degree from medical sciences to mathematics after attending a lecture on geometry. A the age of 22, Galileo published a book on the design of a hydrostatic balance he had invented.
5) In physical cosmology, the Copernican principle, is an alternative name of the mediocrity principle, or the principle of relativity, stating that humans (the Earth, or the Solar system) are not privileged observers of the universe.
Named for Copernican heliocentrism, it is a working assumption that arises from a modified cosmological extension of Copernicus'sargument of a moving Earth.In some sense, it is equivalent to the mediocrity principle.
The Copernican principle has never been proven, and in the most general sense cannot be proven, but it is implicit in many modern theories of physics. Cosmological models are often derived with reference to the Cosmological principle, slightly more general than the Copernican principle, and many tests of these models can be considered tests of the Copernican principle.
