Do you think making mistakes are a key part to discovery? This topic has been discussed by generations of scientist. People who have been trying to discover something have been making mistakes for centuries. Scientist mistakes and discoveries seem to go hand in hand. Many people truly believe mistakes inhibit discoveries, however I believe mistakes can guide you to your greatest discovery. The first reason that mistakes are a key part to discovery is that even if we make a mistakes in our…

The first of these experiments was concentrated on improving the survivability of the nazi military. These experiments were especially deadly. Most of the jewish prisoners either died or were horribly wounded in these experiments. Some of these experiments consisted of high altitude and hypothermia testing. Others contained ways to treat field injuries and other in field encounters.(shandler) The second stage of these evil and diabolical experiments was focused on the production of…

Beliefs and practices based on pseudoscience are those that are falsely regarded as being established by scientific research and methods. Examples of pseudoscientific beliefs include, but are absolutely not limited to, the mystery of the dreaded Bermuda Triangle, crop circles by aliens, human hypnosis, and denial that men really went to the moon. What all pseudoscientific beliefs have in common are that they are fueled by skepticism and the human desire to bridge “logical” gaps between when they…

task was below the threshold of statistical significance; however, it did demonstrate subtle difficulties in the area of detectability, inattention, response speed consistency. He also made slightly more anticipatory errors than others in his age group. There was slight reduction of speed noted during the later blocks. His response speed also showed slight decrease when the stimulus interval became longer. Hence, in low arousal condition he was relatively slower. This pattern was observed…

experiments: a common project assigned to middle school students, allowing them to apply the scientific method to answer a specific question. In 8th grade, we were told to get into groups and choose a topic to research. I decided to analyze computer operating systems and determine which version performed faster; my group members approved of the idea. One of my partners, Christian, had multiple laptops that he had planned to use as test subjects for the experiments, however I approached the…

Science World's use of creativity in their advertisements and the one-liners have really drawn me in. I have always been a fan of both creativity, as well as getting straight to the point -- Science World offers both of those things up to me with their advertisements alone. I find it fascinating that they have put such effort into their advertisements alone, seeing as a lot of the ads look as if they could be part of the museum itself! I think the marketing strategy they have taken on is pure…

A Theory is defined as “A series of interrelated propositions that attempts to describe, explain predict, and intimately control some class of events. A theory gains explanatory power from inherent logical consistency and is tested by how well it describes and predicts reality (Pearson. 2015). The integrated theory attempts to pinpoint the elements that work with one another to maintain individual customs, and practices. This theory is known as the “integrative theory”, because it takes from…

of demarcating science. However, if I were to create a criterion of my own, a theory can be scientific if it fulfills three conditions. Firstly, the auxiliary hypotheses involved in the testing of any theory should be independently testable themselves. In this case, if new questions arise from an accepted theory, these questions must be testable and falsifiable. Second, scientific practices are unified wholes, so a theory – if it is scientific – could be applied not only to some selected…

I take a random diverse group of 25 people, and have them review a social media video of a police officer being gunned down by a group of gang members. Then, I would have them take a survey on whether or not they were emotionally affected by what they observed and did their perception change of police officers. For example, if…

The Primary theory is a concept that explains how people respond after being exposed to messages that trigger or activate thoughts previously stored in the mind. The theory further explains that when an individual is exposed to that intermediate message, they will think about the content related thoughts that have been stimulated as a result of the exposure. The theory is used to evaluate how much the media affects people. Today the world is greatly influenced by the media, its effects are very…
