Because you’ve dropped things before and those things did fall to the ground and that’s how you knew it. That’s indigenous knowledge‚ it’s gained through experiences. But to use Science to explain the reason behind it is Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation‚ and it’s not the type gained just by experiences.

Continental. Two factors‚ more specifically‚ two intellectuals—epitomize this era: Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) and John Locke (1632-1704). Newton‚ an English mathematician and astronomer‚ made revolutionary scientific discoveries concerning light and gravitation and formulated the basis of modern calculus. His genius changed humankind’s view of itself and its capabilities‚ showing that individuals can practically‚ rationally‚ and reasonably order their world for the benefit of all human beings. English

“Only seeing general patterns can give us knowledge. Only seeing particular examples can give us understanding.” To what extent do you agree with these assertions? In 2007‚ approximately 1.58 million scientific research papers were published‚ far more than one could possibly read in a lifetime. However‚ when I visited CERN last year‚ I was told that all of our present understanding of physics could be summarised in a few equations: General Relativity‚ describing gravity; and the Standard Model

Romantic and Enlightenment thinkers were very interested in the natural world and human nature. They both looked at inspiration and nature as a great source of learning man’s limits in the natural world. They also looked to natural laws‚ the principles that governed nature and society‚ and respected them in all aspects of their lives. Mary Shelly was a Romanticist who took natural laws seriously in her novel Frankenstein which taught us not to challenge the natural world because nature will take

years there is darkness for a total of ten to fourteen hours. During these hours people go psycho‚ fires are formed and people lose their minds. These times are where the courage of the scientist is shown and they realize that it is because of the gravitation of the planet. The doctors are not scared because they know it will end soon although some hope was lost in the end it did come back. An important lesson to be learned from this is about courage would be just to never give up even if in doubt of

GRAVITATION Kepler’s Laws Towards the end of the sixteenth century‚ Tycho Brahe collected a huge amount of data giving precise measurements of the position of planets. Johannes Kepler‚ after a detailed analysis of the measurements announced three laws in 1619. 1. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse which has the Sun at one of its foci. 2. Each planet moves in such a way that the (imaginary) line joining it to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. 3. The squares of the periods

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Albert Einstein was born at Ulm‚ in Württemberg‚ Germany‚ on March 14‚ 1879. He is a German-born physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. He is generally considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. Einstein’s parents were secular‚ middle-class Jews. His father‚ Hermann Einstein‚ was originally a featherbed salesman and later ran
