Today’s modern research is finally beginning to prove Einstein’s theory absolutely correct. Scientists from around the world have stated that Einstein’s interpretation of the expansion of the universe has evidenced right with “incredible accuracy” and is handling to support the scientists to conclude and comprehend the unfathomable hastening of the universe. Is Einstein’s Theory of relativity really all what it adds up to be? Does it really matter?? The most important discovery in Physics…

while travelling through the medium, air (“sound”). The person who discovered that a medium was indispensable for sound waves, was Robert Boyle (“sound”). Yet another important scientist who not only contributed to the studies of sound was Sir Isaac Newton. He learned that all sound’s speed was affected by the medium it travels through (“sound”). He also learned other aspects of mediums and how they affect sound. The final scientist I will discuss is Daniel Bernoulli, and he made discoveries…

During the 15th century, Europe had long left behind the dark middle ages and embarked into a new era of scientific thought and ideas. The rise of universities along with technological advancements, such as the printing press, gave way to the Scientific Revolution. In which scholars would investigate better explanations and drive for precise observations about the universe. Amidst all the major breakthroughs during the Scientific Revolution, one theory in particular would redefine the way…

The Reformation, Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment are all intertwined. The Reformation was about religion, the Scientific Revolution was about proving that the Sun was the center of the Universe, and the Enlightenment was an intellectual and cultural movement. The Reformation movement in the fifteen-hundreds changed the way Europeans looked at themselves. The Protestant Reformation was an important development that shifted the way marriage and family life was viewed. “Married life…

Archimedes was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, engineer and inventor. Archimedes was the first big mathematician, as well as consider the best mathematician of that era. Archimedes was born in the Greek city-state of Syracuse. His father, Phidias, was an astronomer. The fact that his father was an astronomer made him motivated to do all the inventions he did. He was really close to King Hieron and his son, Gelon. He worked for them, when he lived in Alexandria. He invented the sciences…

What is Science? How do we as humans define it? Is it by the methods people use in investigation? Or is it how we apply concepts? In Okasha’s Philosophy of Science: A Very Short Introduction (1) it attempts to force the reader to look at our own views of how science is defined and if it a satisfactory definition in the realm of Philosophy. The chapter provides several examples on how people determine science: “It is the attempt to understand, explain, and predict the world we live in,” or their…

to historical change in thought and belief, to change in social and formal organization. This revolution began in Europe roughly between 1500-1700. It started with Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) who stated a heliocentric cosmos, and ended with Isaac Newton (1642-1727) who proposed universal law and a Mechanical Universe. But, some historians have cut this back, claiming that it properly extends only to the publication of Newton's Principia (1687) or to his Opticks (1704) or to Newton's death…

Europe, Isaac Newton from England was a representation of what the Enlightenment was about and one of the most influential people involved, as he created many subjects and concepts students learn…

Science and technology have always been necessary for the advancements of nation-states throughout history. Additionally both science and technology play extensive roles in the progression of the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution and World War I and II. In the Enlightenment science and technology helped establish the heliocentric theory, Newton’s laws of motion and the law of gravitation. The Industrial Revolution focused on the transition from wood to metal and farming to…

One of the persistent fields of study in history is the examination of the relationship between religion and science-- a subject that has been the topic of inquiry since the beginnings of science as natural philosophy to science as it exists now. One model that has come to predominate the modern understanding of how the two interact is the conflict thesis, or that there is a fundamental incompatibility between science and religion, and that warfare between the two is inevitable. Through the lens…
