nonconstancy of species‚ or the modern conception of evolution itself. The second is the notion of branching evolution‚ implying the common descent of all species of living things on earth from a single unique origin. Many people are familiar with how Darwin came up with the theory of evolution. Darwin introduced historicity into science. Evolutionary biology‚ in contrast with physics and chemistry‚ is a historical science—the evolutionist attempts to explain events and processes that have already

optics‚ physics‚ and chemistry were created with a definite advancement in the mathematics and philosophy. The revolution was mainly caused by the necessity for more knowledge and learning. The rediscovery of ancient yet highly developed mathematics from the Babylonians‚ Greeks‚ and Egyptians during the Renaissance only added fuel to the spark of interest. The final cause of the revolution was the Age of Exploration which required inventors and physicist to create clocks and watches for sailors to

Stanislavsky’s next basic assumption is that actors must project themselves into the world of the play and may learn to do so through the magic if (through imagining how one would feel or act if one were in this specific character in this specific situation). Actors best do this by becoming one with a character‚ studying

But as the evidence mounts‚ more and more scientists are questioning their basic‚ long-held assumptions. The emerging revolution in science extends beyond cosmology. Today the study of the underlying structure of matter‚ particle physics‚ is intimately tied up with cosmology—the structure of the universe‚ theorists argue‚ is the result of events in the first instants of time
