In most cases the individual members of these classes are born and die, but the classes themselves do not change. The main questions What is being? and What is an individual? became the prime focus of Aristotle. A horse, a man, a house are classified as such, and an individual, is this the distinguishing feature of his / hers classification. A...

Center Of Gravity Galileo Galilei
2,005 wordsThe seventeenth century marked the beginning of spectacular changes in science that to this day flourish. However, during these times, science and faith would clash, and in their terrible conflict, the two were severed, to continue in divergent directions and to lose their common ground that continues at the present. The Aristotelian point of view that the Earth was the center of the universe was a universal, Biblical belief that no one dared to question. However, one mans discoveries within the...

Norman Campbell And His Contributions To Early Science
1,201 wordsNorman Robert Campbell was a venerable man in the history of scientific development. He was a well-known British physicist and philosopher of science whose main contribution to our scientific world was the distinction between scientific theories and laws. Norman was born in 1880 and received an incredible education at Eton, soon to be followed by his graduation from Trinity College. Normans accomplishments did not stop here, however. He worked at the Cavendish Laboratory for seven years under a ...

Einstein was as normal as they come, he just had a spark of imagination that did not let him quit thinking. A world without Albert Einstein would have been awful. The world would be very behind in technological advances, mathematics, physics, and even astronomy. There would not be any new true theorems in science until someone made the discovery Einstein did and threw out some of Newton...

Black Hole Event Horizon
767 wordsString theory is one of the most exciting and profound developments in modern theoretical physics. Unfortunately it is a highly technical subject that can only be well understood using the tools of Quantum Field Theory. It also doesn't hurt to know some mathematics like Group Theory, Differential Geometry, and Algebraic Geometry. Needless to say this is prohibitive for most people who are far too busy doing other things. String theory is to be a theory of quantum gravity, then the average size o...

Another consequence of Einstein's quantum research in this area was interest of the scientific community in quantum mechanics, a science Einstein would dismiss as too in deterministic. From these discoveries, Einstein was to receive a Nobel Prize. Einstein regarded his second paper of 1905 as relatively unimportant. In it, he calculated a way of determining the size of molecules and found a value for Avogadro's number. By ana...

As the car decelerates, the passengers tend to continue in motion and lurch forward. If the car turns a corner, then a package on the car seat will slide across the seat as the inertia of the package causes it to continue moving in a straight line.

Quick Fix Foreign Nations
658 wordsDescribe the dumbing down of the nations educational system. Our nation views all situations as a competition and, in some cases, goes to extremely deceitful lengths to protect the possibility of failure. All tasks assigned to Americans are assumed to be easy and conducted with concurring enthusiasm; however, when it becomes arduous, frustration overcomes us and we look for the first available quick-fix. Now that the task was completed-with the minimal amount of effort-we sit back and relax, bec...

Galileo Galilei Medical Student Bodies
521 wordsIn questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. For Galileo Galilei this thought meant everything. He went against everyone and believed what he thought was true. Many disrespected him and thought he was insane to question the theories of many great scientists of that day. He proved to be right a portion of the time. Galileo the Great fits him better than Galileo Galilei, cause great he was. Galileo was born on February 15, 1564 in P...
