Stephen Hawking once said, “My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit as well as physically.” Stephen Hawking is one of the smartest humans in the world and also has ALS. ALS is a debilitating disease that has no known cure, but Hawking doesn’t let that stop him. Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime also has somewhat of a…

In this paper, I will explain the event of a dog, Leo, hearing the sound of my pouring his dog-food into his food-bowl. I will explain this in an Aristotelian fashion using Aristotle's framework of explanatory schemata - the four causes - and by citing evidence from his theories of (a) hearing from De Anima II.8, (b) perception from De Anima II.12, and (c) potentiality and actuality from De Anima II.5. I will begin with an analysis of the event of Leo's hearing the pouring of the dog-food, and…

Sir Isaac Newton The famous scientist I chose is Sir Isaac Newton. He is famous for his work on universal gravitation. He also developed the three laws of motion. I wanted to know more about Newton because the only thing I knew was that an apple fell on his head and he started thinking about gravitation so that’s why I chose him. Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, United Kingdom. He is an English physicist and mathematician. He is maybe the most famous scientist in history. His father died…

but found an interest in mechanics and technology. His mother had wanted him to run the family farm, but his uncle and professor realized he was destined with a intellectual life. Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician, and he made discoveries in physics(optics), and laws of motion and gravity. Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician. Early brilliance in…

concepts of mass and energy help explain the motion of objects and even describe how the planets move in an orbit. The very first theories postulated by the Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle built the foundation for what is to become the modern physics and started a unique paradigm on the world view. Followed by the disproval of his theories by the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei, the English physicist Newton in turn came up with a new set of laws to accurately describe the phenomenons…

blonde, maybe someone became president rather than a physics professor. There are an infinite number of possibilities which causes the Multiverse Theory to also be a heavily controversial topic. However, it is also just a theory and there is no definitive proof quite yet. That being said, there are hundreds of ideas that could possibly prove the theory. The Multiverse Theory was first created in 1952 by a man named Erwin Schrodinger, the same physics theorist…

“It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.” Daniel Bernoulli once said this statement. Not many people know about Daniel Bernoulli. Daniel Bernoulli (He was also known as Daniel Bernovllivs), was a swiss mathematician that furthered the study of calculus and physics along with his family. He was known for his principle (Bernoulli’s Principle), but also did many other things with his time. He helped the field of hydrodynamics, and without knowing it helped…

Science was never just a subject for me, it was something, which fascinated me, taught me and provided me with the explanation of what was around me all at the same time. Compared to all other subjects I studied, it was the only one in which truly interested me, one which I did not mind waking up in the morning for or to study for. It was only until my grandfather passed away from a heart disease, when I truthfully identified what part of science I would want to study. And that is Cardiology, as…

dropping out of high school, Einstein applied to enter the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School. Since his math and science test scores were especially high, he made it in contingent upon him finishing his high school degree. He was trained to teach physics and math. Eventually he got his degree in 1901 (Grandin, 9/21/15). Throughout his years at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School, he made friends with Milena Maric and eventually married her on January 6, 1903. They had two sons together before…

served as an artillery officer in his younger ages during World War I which put a halt onto his studies but soon picked back up on after the war. He chose learn theoretical physics. He worked with an English astronomer named Arthur Eddington while pursuing his studies that drove him to America where he achieved a Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He went back to Belgium in which he…
