The ancient Greeks contributed much to modern astronomy, inventing and utilizing the scientific method to study and chart the heavens through experiments, careful observation and meticulous records of their findings. However, they were not only good at the observational aspect of astronomy, but also the theoretical aspect as well, speculating about the Universe's size, structure and nature, and about everything that the Universe encompassed. Indeed, the Greeks were masters of this art, and their…
Science fiction, focuses its literature on the human being confronting a transition regarding his environment, encountering scientific discoveries, technological advancements, and drastic changes in society and in nature. Throughout the texts authors focus to provide “What if?” questions pushing both the author & reader to different possibilities and outcomes. Sci-Fi tries to explain all known to existence; this genre is mainly focused in the society as a whole, how the humans got to be what…
As time will only tell…. As the world of science continues to evolve, areas of the unknown are exposed to human life. Albert Einstein was the mastermind behind producing formulae in regards to disproving some of Isaac Newton’s theories on how gravity affected large and distant objects, especially that in relation to mass and energy. Although receiving a Nobel Prize for his work in the photoelectric effect, arguably his greatest development was the area of relativity. The basis of the theory of…
Abstract— Swarm robotics is an advanced robotics field which involves co-operative behaviour implemented on robots. Swarm robots find its applications in a large number of fields like process automation, defence, surgery, surveillance etc.In the centralised swarm robotic approach, we have a master robot and one or more slave robots. For a known environment this approach has a very less response time. The master robot is basically in charge of the slaves and controls their actions through sending…
The logical revolution helped the way in science, Copernicus hypothesis gave us the capacity to never surrender and ultimately conflicting with the catholic church, demonstrated to us the best thing ever, to never quit coming clean regardless. The challenge to the truth the light to away and to never quit coming clean, this all materialized in view of exclusive one researcher, the eye of science himself Galileo Galilei! Conceived on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy, Galileo Galilei was a…
also was widely versed in many different other areas. He was a musical theorist and well as a musical composer. Jean Jacques Rousseau was born on June 28,1712 in Geneva, Switzerland. His mothers name was Suzanne Bernard and his fathers name was Isaac Rousseau. When Rousseau was born, his mother…
Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England on January 4th, 1643. He was born extremely premature and wasn’t expected to live, but he did and lived to make many amazing scientific and mathematical discoveries. Isaac Newton is known worldwide for many famous discoveries. He was an extremely intelligent man. Some of the most famous of his discoveries included discovering lots of information in optics, motion, mathematics, and a ton of laws and rules for physics that we use almost everyday today.…
Gravitation - Movement, or a tendency to move, towards a centre of gravity, as in the falling of bodies to the earth. (Oxford Dictionary) Introduction : For centuries, mankind has always been fascinated by the celestial bodies. The motion of the stars and planets were at once a symbol of the divine order of the universe and a profound challenge for human understanding. For the ancient Greeks the separation between the terrestrial and celestial realms was absolute--the downward motion of…
church, which led them to find another way to administrate social order. In this way, men gave their minds to science, at first working consequently with old theology, then basing themselves in empiricism. In the late XVII century, it was clear that Isaac Newton’s science was stable and widely accepted, also, John Locke had proved that philosophy represented the operations of the human soul, recreating the simpler impressions into complex systems of ideas. These two big changes, one scientific…
In Pursuit of the Unknown by Ian Stewart is about seventeen equations that have not only impacted mathematics and science but have also contributed to human advances to a great extent. According to Stewart, we generally disregard the historical link between mathematics and technological progress but this connection is integral to any complete understanding of human history. These equations are essentially based on the patterns we find in the world around us and using them one can make sense and…
