What were the results of the Union's tunneling attempt to break the Petersburg fortifications in July of 1864?
In late July of 1864, four Union offensives against Petersburg were failures. The Confederate fortifications were far too strong for the Union to breach. Then General Grant decided to take a chance on an idea proposed by Lieutenant Colonel Henry Pleasants of the 48th Pennsylvania Infantry. The unit was composed of many Pennsylvania coal miners. With there expertise, the regiment dug a 500 foot tunnel underneath the Petersburg fortifications. Four tons of gunpowder were placed at the end of the tunnel which was underneath the Confederate defenders. In the early hours just before sunrise, the the Union's bomb exploded and killed nearly 3 to 400 Confederates. The blast created a huge crater that was 170 feet long, 30 feet deep and 70 feet wide. Troops fromGeneral Burnside's Ninth Corps waited four hours and then charged through the tunnel. There Confederate troops were waiting. As the Federals emerged from the crater, the Rebels inflicted 4,000 casualties and the South lost 1,500. Grant called the incident one of the saddest affairs he had witnessed in the war. The siege against Petersburg was a 9 month ordeal.

How do you prove the existence of an atom?
Using modern technology like scanning tunneling microscopy, pictures can be taken of atoms. Their existence has also been proven through Einstein's Brownian motion calculations, to mathematically estimate the distance tiny particles will move based on molecular bombardment. Another experiment was done using these calculations on particles of resin in water with positive results.

What describes the attempt to duplicate research findings reported by other scientists?
The attempt to duplicate research findings reported by other scientists is known as "replication." This process is essential for validating the reliability and robustness of scientific results, ensuring that conclusions drawn from a study are not merely due to chance or methodological flaws. Successful replication strengthens the credibility of the original findings, while failures can prompt further investigation into the original research methods or data. Overall, replication is a cornerstone of the scientific method, promoting transparency and trust in scientific knowledge.

What was the political party of John Bryan a member of the St Petersburg City council?
In a newspaper article about Bryan he is described as a strong ally to Rick Baker, the mayor of St. Petersburg. Rick Baker is listed as a Republican and a Bush crony in Google search results for "st. petersburg, rick baker, party" although the actual article linked to doesn't have that information. Based on the above, I would guess that Bryan was Republican. I'm not from Florida, though, and St. Petersburg is a multi-party system, so take it with a grain of salt.

Answer is : "they analyze all results" Scientists remain objective by not influencing the results of the experiments outside of the established parameters. That means they will not reach in and interfere with the experiment.

Mixing water with urine will dilute the urine sample, potentially affecting the accuracy of the urine test results.
