In Memory of John Dalton 1766-1844 John dalton,son of Joseph and Deborah dalton, he had one brother named Jonathan no sisters.John dalton lived and worked in England as a teacher and a public lecture.He wa very interested in meteorology for the longest.He published meteorological observations and essays which he recorded.He did so many things, he made his own atomic theory he was also was very interested in color blindness.His serious interest in this led him to the view of atomism. Between…

Eugene Shoemaker is one of the most renowned American geologists and astronomers of the last century. He brought the debate around the origin of Arizona’s Meteor crater to an end, helped pioneer an entirely new field of science and co-discovered one of the most scientifically impactful comets ever found. He was born in California in 1928 and attended the California Institute of Technology at the age of 16, completing a Geology bachelor's degree. He then took only one more year to complete his…

Describe the development of single dish radio telescopes and advantages of radio interferometers. Discuss major discoveries that were possible after detection of radio waves from space and how they changed our understanding of Universe. Astronomy is all about increasing our understandings about our Universe through observing objects like stars, galaxies and other bodies which exist outside Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomers make observations of these celestial phenomena by collecting…

Joseph Priestley died 214 years ago but is remembered as being an influential scientist of the eighteenth century. Priestly made many scientific discoveries but one of his most important discoveries, and the one his is most remembered for today, is the discovery of oxygen. Priestley was born near Leeds on 13th March 1733 and spent much of his adult life as a teacher and preacher. As well as science, Priestley was extremely knowledgeable in many areas including theology, history, education,…

Before Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies were receding from each other, people strongly believed that the universe was static and there was no component in it which exerted a negative pressure and countered the attractive force of gravity. This belief was so strong, in fact, that even Einstein, upon finding that his equations were predicting an expanding universe, arbitrarily added a cosmological constant to keep the universe static. A few years after GR was published, however, Hubble found…

The Deflation Effects on a Soccer Ball How could a ball affect a game? How could the speed it is moving at affects how it is received. Can the way to control the ball be affected by how stiff or hard the ball is. Can the air pressure of the ball affect the bounce of the ball. Can the little thing about a soccer ball affect such a large game of soccer. The pounds per square inch, or PSI, of a soccer ball can affect a lot of things but it does not give an advantage to any team over another since…

Both the propulsion technique of the manual wheelchair user and the wheelchair design and setup have major effects on the biomechanics of the user-wheelchair system. Despite major improvements in technology, propulsion technique is still not very well understood. It can stated, however, that three basic qualities of the user-wheelchair system determine the performance: the user, who produces the energy for propulsion, the vehicle mechanics of the wheelchair, which determine power requirements to…

mathematician, known for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Amalie Emmy Noether was described by many other famous mathematic theorists as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. An article on Applied Mathematics gives a brief insight into the importance of her work: Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet today, almost…

Isaac Newton was born on January 4 1643. He was born in Woolsthorpe England Christianson 8). He was the only son of a wealthy local farmer Christianson 8). His father’s name was also Isaac Newton who died three months before Isaac Newton was born Christianson 9). Newton was a premature baby and was tiny and weak and not expected to survive Christianson 11). When Newton was three years old his mother Hannah Ayscough Newton left and remarried to a minister named Barnabas Smith Christianson 17).…

Naturalism and Science in London The Naturalistic viewpoint of how the forces of nature influence human life are expressed in the writings of naturalists, with the idea of scientific theory as an influence in the themes of their works. The writers of this time utilized ideas such as theory of evolution established by Charles Darwin, to describe how each individual species possesses attributes that make it unique. The instinctual agents which are inherited traits allow for animals to survive in…
