Intro: The Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment are typically taught alongside one another and share connections. The Scientific Revolution was first brought about around the year 1540 and continued until the 1700s. European scholars used the time to understand the fundamentals in which the natural world worked, which are used in modern science today. Rather than be called scientists, they referred to themselves as natural philosophers instead. The Enlightenment began after the…

The second goal was that the church desired to re-clarify the doctrines of the Catholic faith. The church had to answer to the claims from the Christian humanists and Protestant…

Vermeer’s The Astronomer explicitly links science and art. Cartography and astronomy are depicted alongside fine arts such as the painting on the wall and the Middle Eastern carpet on the table (Eskridge, n.d.). The Astronomer (circa 1668, Baroque). Johannes Vermeer The proliferation of art and the preservation of knowledge The final aspect of the relationship between science and art in the 15th – 18th centuries that I will draw attention to is how science and technology enabled the…

Creativity and artificial intelligence Rishi Raj Sonar Student of MCA V MSIT, MATS University Raipur, Chhattisgarh E-mail:- banty.raj6@gmail.com Abstract Creativity or imagination is a fundamental feature of human intelligence, and a challenge for AI. AI used to create new ideas in three ways:- by producing novel combinations of familiar ideas; by exploring and by making transformations that enable the generation of previously impossible ideas. AI will have less trouble in…

Hitching a Ride on a Light Beam Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, undergirding astronomy, chemistry, geology, biology, and—absent some paradigm-shattering revelation—human thought and action. Its analytical methods and machines have plumbed the unknown and the inaccessible, from the submicroscopic confines of the atomic nucleus to the billowing expanse of the observable universe. Physics has superseded our biochemically mediated perceptions of the world, replacing qualitative…

The modern day telescope is a complex device made up of carefully placed parts that have evolved over hundreds of years. Since it’s creation in the 16th century, it has been used for significant discoveries contributing towards many scientific discoveries. From refraction to reflection we have made significant advancements in this seemingly basic technology to allow us to see both clearer and further. As knowledge of our planet and surroundings grows, as does the technology we use to survey it.…

best known as the man who established the Social Contract Theory (Lloyd and Sreedhar, “Hobbes’s Moral and Political Philosophy”).

Brahe would go on to mentor an assistant named Johannes Kepler, who came up with the three laws of planetary motion. Theses laws would establish a concrete explanation behind the harmony amongst the stars. One of the most groundbreaking Copernican astronomers, Galileo Galilei was the first stargazer to observe…

From the biggest cities to the smallest of molecules, the earth and its dynamics have been widely studied over the span of human history. Bright individuals have made astounding discoveries that has allowed the human race to come closer to finding an answer explaining the forces at work around them. Starting from the early days of the Grecian empire with Aristotle and Plato to the challenging ideals of Newton and Copernicus, science has been completely redefined and continues to grow as a…

Science: Facts Making Theories or Theories Making Facts? Are scientists using the facts to form the theories of science or are they making theories then hoping that the facts fit the theory? If the facts do not fit, does science pursue the facts and the root of the facts searching for truth or do scientists ignore the facts if they do not fit and instead pursue to prove their theories by other means? Science has always been a field where the inquisitive may go to seek truth and to pursue…
