ability to measure and track the results from any scientific experiment is extremely important to both the validity and truthfulness of the work. Scientists often have problems in certain sciences due to the scope of their investigation. As a result Continue Reading...
Astrophysical Implications of Black Holes Astrophysics There is a tradition in science for phenomena that are once thought of as impossible or absurd, later become fundamental to the progression of science. The subject of black holes falls within t Continue Reading...
These mathematicians recognized that spatial situations which produce collinearity were invariably the result of deep underlying geometric truths. The incidence of a point on a line is invariant under the projective rules. If three or more points ar Continue Reading...
The second law, which states that rate of change of object's momentum is proportional to the force exerted upon it is the most practical law. This law is the logical continuation of the inertia law and explanation of Galileo's principle and transfo Continue Reading...
Hitchhiker's Guide Douglas Adam's comic work of science fiction, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, satirizes both society and science. As the story opens, protagonist Arthur Dent is railing against the local government for its decision to raze h Continue Reading...
Newton explained that apples fell from trees by virtue of the same universal attractive natural force that caused the planets to orbit the skies. In his 1687 book, Philosopiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Newton presented complex mathematical f Continue Reading...
Two belief systems, then -- true believe, and justified true belief (Hauser, 1992). Humans, however, according to Pierce, turn justified true beliefs into true beliefs by converting them into axioms. Once we have proven something there is no need t Continue Reading...
The authors recommended advanced training in CT scan interpretation or a broader use of teleradiography in order to improve the accuracy of cranial CT scan interpretations. Treatment of acute stroke now includes recombinant tissue plasminogn activa Continue Reading...
CSR Corporate Social Responsibility Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has recently reached an unprecedented level of salience with the emergence of global protests that seem to be driven in a large part by concerns over social issues such as eq Continue Reading...
Measurement Error Issue Measurement Error In the study done by Bargh, Chen, & Burrows (1996), measurement error was an issue when looking at whether priming concepts of old age caused people to walk out of the room more slowly. This issue came Continue Reading...
In this interpretation Heitler accepts the modified Copenahgenist observer created reality, but adds that the act of observation dissolves the barrier between observer and the observed. The observer is a necessary part of the whole. Once observed, t Continue Reading...
Isaac Newton Ruba The Three Laws of Motion: Isaac Newton's Greatest Contribution To the World of Science Isaac Newton is a renowned mathematician, scientist, inventor, professor, and public official who influenced the world of science with his ex Continue Reading...
However, five months after the book was published, Galileo was ordered to Rome to appear before the Inquisition. In reviewing Galileo's old file, the Inquisition had uncovered the memorandum of 1616, that ordered Galileo to never teach the Copernic Continue Reading...
multiverse is a line of thought that that proposes the existence of multiple universes. The hypothesis advances the notion that the set of multiple universes are what together make everything that exists physically and ever existed. These include th Continue Reading...
Bohr's work on the structure of atoms was awarded in 1922 with the Nobel Prize. After 1930, the activities within his Institute were increasingly focused on the constitution, transmutations, and disintegrations of atomic nuclei, and further develope Continue Reading...
Scientific Principles: "Timeline in Optics" It is very clear that Optics is the physical science that examines the source and broadcast of light, how it fluctuates, what effects it yields, and other marvels that are connected with this interesting s Continue Reading...
The Implicate Order and Explicate Order can be compared to a piece of holographic film and the image it produces. The film corresponds to the enfolded, or hidden, Implicate Order. The image, or hologram, (what is humanly perceived) is the Explicate Continue Reading...
Those studying physics and astronomy, and perhaps other scientific disciplines as well, are accustomed to the use of scientific shorthand and in some fields it is essential -- the example above of distance between energy waves from supernovae is a g Continue Reading...
So increased voltage results in a drop in current. As the voltage continues to increase the junction begins to function as a normal diode as electrons travel by conduction through the p-n junction and no longer tunnel through it. Therefore the most Continue Reading...
The theory of relativity would go on to have tremendous impact on the modern world, from philosophical speculation and "relativity" to nuclear physics and the creation of the atom bomb. In conclusion, the Michelson-Morley experiment, though repeate Continue Reading...
" The difference in the Manhattan Project and other companies that were very similar in function was due to the need to become quickly successful and investments of "hundreds of millions of dollars in unproven and hitherto unknown processes and did s Continue Reading...
Mechanics and Dynamics Life without motion is better explained as death. A living being is said to be having life only when the walls of the heart engage in pumping the blood, when the blood circulates through the entire body, when nerves impulse el Continue Reading...
God Exist? The Case for God's Existence Anselm Thomas Aquinas Other Arguments The Case Against the Existence of God My Assessment Many people go to churches, mosques, and synagogs each week to worship God and to pray. But does God hear those Continue Reading...
Dangling Particles, physicist Lisa Randall explains why the complexities and abstract nature of modern science only makes it even more incomprehensible to the layman. For example, virtually everything we know today about quantum mechanics at the sma Continue Reading...
I learned the importance of personal integrity, such as deciding for yourself what is genuinely right and honorable and knowing when to ignore the biases and opinions of others, especially when those opinions conflict with doing what one knows is ri Continue Reading...
Solving the 1D Bin Packing Problem Using a Parallel Genetic Algorithm: A Benchmark Test The past few decades have witnessed the introduction in a wide range of technological innovations that have had an enormous impact on consumers, businesses and g Continue Reading...
Communication History Fans of science fiction are fond of recalling a remark by novelist Arthur C. Clarke, to the effect that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. I am currently typing these sentences onto a laptop, Continue Reading...
It is so much a copy that one could call it a clone of the original; in other words, it is a second original. If matter were to be thus transported, then we would have two of the original objects, should one be transported. Alternative theories, ba Continue Reading...
Physical Science: Heat It is reasonable to suggest that just about everyone has felt the warmth of the sun or warmed themselves by a fireside, but many people may not understand the source of the energy they are feeling, particularly at the molecula Continue Reading...
" It is this ability of Gamow to take complicated science and serve it to the reader in interesting bites that earned him a reputation as not only a brilliant scientist, but as a fine writer. After all, "in order to understand the problem of life in Continue Reading...
Ibn Sina The great Avicenna or Abu Ali al-Husayn Ibn Abdullah Ibn Sina, born in 980 was often known in the West by this Latin name. Among all the Islamic philosopher-scientists this Persian physician became not only the most famous but also an infl Continue Reading...
Demons There are several theories in physics that apply probability theory to various problems. Examples of this can be statistical mechanics and statistical thermodynamics. Physicist James Clerk Maxwell came up with a thought experiment in the lat Continue Reading...
Furthermore, he argues, a technological culture is not an inevitable feature of human evolution. If other cultures had achieved ascendancy, then science and technology would not have emerged as a reference point for measuring intelligence. SETI's re Continue Reading...
Vectors are defined in the video as a very basic idea, anything that has size and direction is a vector, some examples are velocity, where force moves something with mass. Newton's second law F=ma is a description that includes two vectors, force a Continue Reading...
Much unlike more complex conceptions of physics, this theory can be proven by students and amateurs even in modern day classrooms. One of the ways Galileo confirmed his conception of naturally accelerated movement was through experimentation using Continue Reading...
Studies of the aftereffects of the Gulf War determined that every single U.S. 120 mm tank shell resulted, on average, in approximately five pounds of radioactive Uranium Oxide dust. Likewise, each of the nearly one million 25 mm and 30 mm canon sh Continue Reading...
If we assume that 1) and 2) are true, then hard determinism is valid. Free will then is only an illusion that man perceives as a result of the complexity of all interacting cause-and-effects. Although he thinks he has possible courses of action, his Continue Reading...
