Experiment-1 Simple pendulum: Aim: The main aim of this simple pendulum experiment is to investigate the relationship between the time period of a simple pendulum (oscillation) and the effective length (total length) of the simple pendulum. The three variables in Experiment-1 Simple pendulum: Independent variable: The independent variable in this experiment is the length of the string of the pendulum that could be changed. Dependent variable: The dependent variable is the time period for one…

The Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment can be referred to as extensive moments of realization where one finds a question to have multiple answers instead of only one. The Scientific Revolution was the very beginning of a radical chain of events that started with the emergence of modern science that further transformed the views on society and nature. Sparked by the critical way of thinking, intellectual forces rejected traditional ideas and began to question the functions of society…

most, Newton’s Laws call up some hazy memory from childhood. You may have instantly remembered “An object in motion will stay in motion,” or mentally pictured a man with a white wig being hit in the head with an apple. Whatever your thoughts on Isaac Newton, his ideas on the ways things move and react to obstacles has changed the way we think about movement…

Stephen Hawking: A Man of Many Theories "Intelligence is the ability to adapt change," Stephen Hawking once quoted. The man himself said that to explain that we need to get used to, or "adapt to" the new discoveries of the world. Stephen Hawking really revolutionized the world of science. He discovered black holes and ventured into the world of space and time theory. So, Hawking is a very important figure of the world when it comes to discoveries. Early Life Stephen…

Sir Isaac Newton was born on December 25th, 1642. As Newton grew up he was recognized as a very knowledgeable physicist, mathematician, author and astronomer. He excelled in both math and physics and has been developing theories since his early twenties. Isaac Newton attended a grammar school in Grantham near Lincolnshire, where as during this time Newton became very interested with chemicals. In 1664 Newton at that time was a student, he read up on work containing optics and light. He was…

Astronomy and Astrology: A Battle of Two Ancestral Brothers Astronomy, being an actual natural science, and not just predictions and magic, is a much more useful practice than its ancestral brother, astrology. Though, long ago, astronomy and astrology were once thought to be the one and the same, in the modern era, these two "sciences" are different in both the way they are practiced, and the tools with which you practice them. Astronomy, considered to be the more "real", respected science out…

The book, structure of Scientific Revolutions, is one of the most famous books authored by Thomas Kuhn. He introduces a wide array of concepts within the essay that explains the course of scientific revolution in the world. However, the essay has received wide criticisms from other scholars especially for what they refer to as his ‘relativistic’ nature. To understand or take a position as to whether the arguments of his charges of relativism are valid, an understanding of the term is necessary,…

Scientific Revolution Harshendra Shah B.Tech(CSE), IIIT Vadodara Date : 12th March, 2018 Introduction : There are infinite outcomes to every minor event in our lives, and each of those possible outcomes will have tremendous impact on the future. Of course, these laws are taken for granted by most of us, but in looking at them we could better understand the present with respect to our past. In this case the Scientific Revolution was the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment, which eventually…

The famous alchemist, Democritus, had several views on life and how it worked and was made. “Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.” (“Democritus Quotes”). Nothing in this world is planned out and if anything is necessary to happen it will happen. According to John J. Mark, Democritus made it seem like life happens on its own and takes all the human’s decisions for their own life, yet he actually believed humans could make their own decisions within the range…

Picture to yourself, if you can, a universe in which everything makes sense. A “serene order presides over the Earth around you,” and the “heavens above revolve in magnificent harmony.” Everything you can see, hear, and know is a particular aspect of the ultimate truth: the simplicity of a geometric theorem, the predictability of the movements of heavenly bodies, the harmonious beauty of a “well-proportioned fugue”- all are reflections of the essential perfection of the universe. These are, in…
