Since ancient Greece, humanity has become fascinated with science. The development of new technologies that will further the existence of mankind, has been the goal for many great scientists. Through centuries of experimenting, the mid-evil era of alchemy, and many years after, Chemistry became a topic of much importance. During the 1800’s, science had become one of the most rapidly growing fields as explanations for how things work, or the technological progression allowing us to discover more.…

The life and works of Edwin Hubble Edwin Hubble was born november 20, 1889, in Marshfield Missouri. When he was a child he loved both books and sports.He had a chance to be a boxer but instead chose to be a scientist/ astronomer. He is famous for many discoveries and tools used today. He before becoming a scientist he was in a war of some sort I believe it to be world war 1. He also i’m sad to tell later in life had some medical problems which resulted in his death. When he was young he was a…

In Cherry Lewis’s "The Dating Game", she analyzes the autobiography of Arthur Holmes, the English geologist known for his advancements in radioactive dating and theories on the Earth and how it has aged. To put it into perspective, the book tracks how ideas vary vastly over one man’s day. Arthur Holmes was an influential pioneer in the findings and research of his theory in the mid 1800's, so Kelly depicts his views as time has passed. Through the use of literary analysis, autobiographies, and…

“What is Classical Mechanics”) In contrast, we turn to the laws of quantum mechanics when working to analyze micro-objects and relations. Examples of these include quantized properties, waves of light, etc. (Robert Coolman, “What is Quantum Mechanics) What’s more, laws of classical mechanics—study of macro objects—are useful in that they regard observable and stable forms of matter. Contra-classical mechanics, the study of quantum mechanics is very probabilistic: in essence, everything is a…

The definition of honorable is highest respect; esteem. I think honorable Font means that it is someone being praised or does something good. They deserve to be honored. Some accomplishments of Alfred Wegener is he proposed the theory of continental drift – the idea that Earth’s continents move. Despite publishing a large body of compelling fossil and rock evidence for his theory between 1912 and 1929, it was rejected by most other scientists. It was only in the 1960s that continental drift…

Leonhard Euler was born on 15 April 1707. In a town call Basel located in Switzerland. His father Paul Euler was a pastor of the Reformed church. Leonhard Euler had two younger sisters called Anna Maria and Maria Magdalena. Later on the Euler’s moved from basal to the town of Riehen, where Euler spent most of his child hood. Leonhard Euler formal education started in Basel where he was sent to live with maternal grandmother. When Leonhard Euler was thirteen he enrolled at the University of Basel…

The purpose of the experiment, “Charge to Mass Ratio for an Electron”, was to measure the charge-to-mass ratio (e/m) for an electron. This lab was performed to help students further understand the characteristics of an electron in regards to various things such as its magnetic field strength and velocity. By using a Daedalon (e/m) Apparatus paired with Helmholtz coils and a glass bulb filled with helium gas, students were able to observe electrons travelling in a circular path. This is due to…

James Chadwick was born October 20th, 1891 in Bollington, United Kingdom. His parents were John Chadwick and Anne Mary Knowles. He attended Manchester High School and Manchester University (James Chadwick – Biographical, Nobelprize.org). While he was at Manchester University he worked on a research project in Earnest Ruthford’s laboratory. Chadwick finished his project successfully and graduated with first class honors in physics in 1911. He continued to work in Earnest’s laboratory until in…

George to learn how to speak Russian and French. He also learned German and English. Nineteen years old, and one year after the founding of the USSR, George went to the University of Leningrad to study physics. He and his friends would often discuss quantum mechanics which was cutting edge science at that time and was leading to the secrets of how the atom works. George earned his PhD through his own investigations into the strange behavior of the atomic nucleus. For three years he worked at…

Dawkins decides to bring a little chemistry into this chapter. He brings up the Bohr model, he states atoms being similar to the solar system. The way electrons go around the nucleus is the same way planets orbit. Elements have the ability to be present even with a varying number of neutrons. This is to be called isotopes. His point with this is that these isotopes are very balanced while others may be not so balanced. This will then be called radioactivity. Every isotope that becomes…
