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…

According to the Humane Society of the United States, 79.7 million people have pets in their homes just in the United States (The Humane Society of the United…

cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy. He overcame many struggles and changed the way people look at the heavens. Galileo was one of the first to use the scientific method and many historians credit him for being the “founder of modern experimental science”.

He was the eldest of seven children born to Vincenzo Galilei who was a well-known musician and skilled mathematician, and Giulia Ammannati who was educated and came from a noble…

For years biologists have known and used bioelectricity, or animal electricity, the study of electrical flow in the human and animal bodies. Our muscles and nerves only work because of bioelectricity. But how was electricity in the body discovered? What led someone to study it? The answer is a combination of luck and curiosity from a scientist named Luigi Galvani. Galvani grew up and lived in Bologna, Italy. He was born on September 9, 1737 in a middle-class family. Galvani's quest as a…

Technology can be spotted nearly everywhere a person is in this day and age. It consumes the human race. It allows people to discover millions of new and lifesaving things. However, it can also cause awful and even fatal effects. Technology can have a significant impact on physical, mental, and social health, as portrayed in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. The physical impact of technology is shocking. Extended use can lead to brain changes. The prefrontal cortex is the section of the…

In Chemistry 2017-2018 I learned many things that can help out in daily life to keep others safe and to improve things. One thing that can be useful is knowing basic chemicals and elements to be safe and know what is inside things you have in everyday life. Knowing chemicals is good to know not to mix certain things that can possibly be dangerous or hazardous to your-self or others. Knowing not to mix ammonia and bleach is good because when mixed causes an toxic gas that can harm you, others,…

Frederick Taylor Winslow is a very fascinating person due to his invention of scientific management theory. Scientific Management was introduced in the early 1900s. Taylor desired to create a management practice, which would increase the workers efficiency in the work placements. (pp 132, Schermerhorn, Osborn, Uhl-Bien and Hunt) Therefore his needs established the scientific management theory, which is still used in many organisations worldwide.
