Theory of everything

“Science aims to give us, in its theories, a literally true story of what the world is like.”1 This is not a statement that he would necessarily disagree with in a vague sense, but the specifics of what science is actually aiming to explain and the power that theories actually hold is what he refines. The accepted definition of scientific realism, outside of Van Fraassen’s…

The debate between E.H. Carr and G.R. Elton signifies the conflict between the “Old School” of historical studies and the Revisionist model. Carr proposes that there exists within historical studies the need for interpretation, and that there is no such thing as a universalized “truth” or “fact”. This is evocative of the Postmodernist phenomenon to critique and rethink approaches to history, which I will discuss later in this paper. Elton, on the other hand, emphasizes the universal “truth”…

parent. She is obviously trying to do her best for her child but with everything that is going on, it can have a major effect on Allen. His behavior links to a couple of theories I would like to mention that might shed some light…

explain what is occurring around us. Our senses try to fill in the gaps to try to explain everything because there is so much stimulus around us. Our senses are constantly over stimulated and because they can’t handle it, they in a way alter our reality. Our senses filter out the details that may seem irrelevant, so there is all this data that we don’t take in. Our nervous system tries to simplify everything naturally. It seems that our nature is to try to make things simple rather than…

Identity of Physicalism Physicalism has many forms and lens to look through. Physicalism believes the mind is part of the body and nothing else. Physicalist believe in the facts of science and that everything can be explained, even the mind with science. In this, the singular philosophical belief of identity will be explored through science and the simplicity of understanding of the brain. With science behind physicalism that simplifies the mind and the world down to an atomic level.…

this statement is 100 percent true because without the use of facts nothing can be proven, however theories can help us create facts. With the development of theories there is a basic necessity for proof. The only way to prove a theory is with experimentation, which will lead to be factual information once experimented on. Of course there are some exceptions like in religion there are plenty of theories and none are based off of factual evidence. When it comes to Heaven and Hell and Jesus and…

he came up with a reasonable answer: There must be some sort of force that is pushing everything and everyone, down, whenever, or however, it moves. Let’s call this gravity, he thought. Newton was right, of course. Oh, and if you haven’t figured it out yet, science, is when an observation becomes a theory that you can prove. Therefore, Isaac observing the apples power to fall down made him think of the theory that gravity was indeed a thing, which, he was later capable of proving, is science! 1…

Darwinism is a scientific theory that everything in the world came from one single origin and follows a blueprint of order in a process called natural selection. Evolution by natural selection is one of the unsurpassed authenticated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific studies, including developmental biology, geology, genetics and paleontology. Created by Charles Darwin who wrote The Origin of Species (1859) to define his theory of…

Clive Bell’s theory of art is a formalist view, appreciating art for its visual aspects and disregarding any context behind the piece. His goal was to find the common trait among all works of art. He believes that for something to be considered art, it has to have specific necessary and sufficient features. It is necessary that the piece has significant form in order for it to be art. Significant form provides us with an aesthetic emotion, which is only brought on by visual art.…

27-31) Aside from the evolutionism theory that all of us learned in school, there exist other theories explaining where life on earth comes from, and one of the most popular is creationism. Evolutionism is a scientific theory based on Darwin’s work, basically saying that everything that exists evolved from most primitive forms, following the laws of natural selection. On the contrary, creationism is a non-scientific theory based on religious beliefs saying that everything that is written in the…
