    The subject of quantum physics appeared far-fetched to physicists of the late 18th and early 19th century. Now, scientists hold a better understanding of atoms and their properties because of this branch of physics. Many scientists helped create the utterly confusing and frightening field, but three in particular made improvements to it that directed modern scientists to where they stand today. People do not grant enough credit to Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and Louis-Victor Broglie, the…

    regal thinking are illustrated by the fable, THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES by Hans Christian Andersen. One of the best-known physics examples of regal science is Aristotle’s geocentric solar system from the 4th century B.C. The strategy was simple enough and the original model was as simple as possible. It was, in fact simpler than today’s models. However, the narrative was barren. As the data became more precise, the necessary adjustments to the model became more complicated. Four hundred…

    I originally became curious about chemistry after I took a chemistry for engineers course at Blinn College. At the time I planned on becoming a physics major, and this was the only chemistry class required to be a physicist. Incidentally I actually failed the chemistry class. The following semester I took the course again. This time with a different teacher; who presented the material in a very interesting way. Their teaching style helped me to start understand the material and appreciate it.…

    Research Question Is the Physics in the movie Gravity accurate? Does it adhere to Newton’s laws? Introduction The purpose of this task is to find out if the science behind certain scenes in the movie Gravity is accurate, compared to what Newton’s laws suggest would happen in real life. The film Gravity is largely set in space, 600km above the Earth – according to the movie. Hypothesis The Physics in the movie Gravity is accurate, as it complies with Newton’s Laws of Motion in the context of…

    specifically physics and chemistry. While my decision varied from veterinarian to author and everything in between from elementary school to my freshman year of high school, I remembered the passion those nights with my father had sparked so long ago, and my major seemed clear: astronomy, or as I later realized, astrophysics. Astronomy is a field of science that studies space, and astrophysics is a branch that focuses on the physical and chemical aspects. Since I had always loved chemistry,…

    Best phrased by surgeon, author, and inventor Leonard Shlain in his book, Art & Physics, “Revolutionary art and visionary physics are both investigations into the nature of reality.” However dissimilar Vincent van Gough’s Starry Night may seem from Isaac Newton’s second law of motion, according to Shlain, this is what fundamentally unifies the two subjects. Physics is the study of the natural world, while art is the representation of it. Art has been part of our culture longer than any of the…

    I argue that many different branches of science are reducible to one fundamental one- physics. In this essay, I will use Pasteur’s work to demonstrate that biology and chemistry are reducible to physics - the study of interactions between matter and energy. By reducible, I mean that these sciences (and other hard sciences) can be simplified to the point where they deal with the same fundamental matters as physics. During the 1700s, chemists engaged in a long-standing debate over what caused…
