Crystal field theory

Occam Razor refers to a theory. The main idea of this theory is there is no need to waste excessive resources to research or judge something since fewer resources may also help to reach an ideal result (Sartre, 2003). In the management field, through applying Occam Razor theory, the company would learn to use the most efficient team instead of the team composed of the most employees. In the philosophy field, this theory means people should view the world in the most convenient…

Every even has a cause. This fact is known as determinism. (Sider, 113) Determinism offers a theoretical explanation of how events occur. It refutes the theory of free will which states that people are in control of the decisions they make. Sider, being a proponent of determinism, argues that people’s belief in determinism is reasonable since the success of science is quite evident. All technological innovations owe their existence to science that is able to explain all things observed by human…

reasoning as part of the Scientific Method. The importance of the Scientific Method is that the method attempts to minimize the influence of bias or prejudice in the experimenter. The Scientific Method also allows for one to prove or disprove a theory or hypothesis. it allows for results from an experiment to be repeated or validated. The Scientific Method is a standardized method for proving or disproving an…

easier for commercial transactions to take place between geographic communities. Measurement is the basis of much of the entire enterprise of science, where phenomena are observed, analyzed, and described. Measurements serve as evidence to support the theories that scientists propose to explain phenomena. The scientific community makes many demands on a measurement system. A scientific system of measurement must have reproducible standards, well-defined fundamental…

Since the dawn of our creation, the decision to choose between good and evil has been the most vital decision of all time, but what ultimately controls our decisions? Can we explain any decisions we make? This question has been at the core of the social sciences since they first came about. Those in opposition to the social sciences claim free will is the moral choices you make everyday to say yes and no to good and evil. On the other hand, social scientists argue, if you can bring science to…

The scientific method is the tool that scientist have used through the human history to understand how many phenomena occur in the in the universe. However, the universe can be complex to be recorded in some cases, for example, how a body is affected when it suffers the speed of the light could be hardly testable. This complexity makes the scientists use their instinct and abilities at the time they applied the scientific method. In addition, an absolute truth cannot be obtained. The universe…

suggest you not to pay for the “ghost removal”. First of all, Geistology is not a real theory so far. In science, according to 2nd Law of Theory Acceptance, which says that in order to become accepted, a theory is assessed by the method actually employed at the time1, Geistology is not using any method that is employed by people nowadays in order to become accepted. Although the scientists may attempt to make the theory accepted, there is still a…

Science, Food and Beyond in Michael Pollan’s “Unhappy Meals” “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants” is the opening statement in Michael Pollan’s article “Unhappy Meals” (Pollan 1). In this article Pollan presents to the reader a new standpoint on what food really is. Pollan’s main argument is that nowadays nutrition has stopped being about whole foods, and is all about nutrients like vitamins and carbs. New terms like “fiber” and “cholesterol” replacing…

Brodie refers to evolution as being controversial, I fail to see it as so, controversial means debatable, and to date there is no more well researched, well founded, and supported scientific theory for the origin of species. Reading this opening reminded me of the Bill Nye – Ken Ham debate, Bill Nye argued that creation is not a viable scientific explanation to the origin of species while Ken Ham opposed. In the final moments of the debate, both men were asked, what would change each other’s…

As Bond says, “Frankenstein could equally have been a philosopher with some personal theory or a Romantic poet, and the dominant themes of the novel would have remained the same.” Many of the themes associated with science, such as that of over ambition are still applicable without the scientific context and I believe the moral issues explored…
