and there were many scientists who helped to make this happen. The first scientist was Democritus‚ he lived from 460 BC to 370 BC. His main theories were that everything is made up of atoms‚ atoms cannot be divided‚ and atoms are small and solid particles. He named the atom “atomos” it was greek word and it means “not able to be divided.” The next scientist who worked with atoms was John Dalton‚ he lived from 1766 to 1844. His main theories were that elements combine in certain proportions based on

of relativity. Albert Einstein was one of the most influential people in the twentieth century‚ both as a scientist and a public figure. Even though Albert was considered a mathematician he is better known for his work in the field of theoretical physics. Throughout Einstein’s life and work‚ he was continually put through to constant observation and even persecution‚ because of WWII and Einstein’s home country of Germany. Albert Einstein had a very hard life but also had a lot of accomplishments and

a machine-like universe. By considering Mutis’ educational context‚ as I have characterized it in the last chapter‚ we can assume that he is dealing with different currents of mechanics‚ encompassing Cartesianism‚ Gassendi’s atomism‚ and Newton’s physics. We can conclude‚ therefore‚ that Mutis’ conception of what the natural philosophy was strongly informed by Newton’s mathematization of nature‚ but that his conception of the universe was the result of an eclectic tradition where incompatible currents

The Life of an Astrophysicist Which career will get you involved in one of the most exhilarating areas of science? Which one will let you let you deduce how the universe works just by making observations of the sky? Astrophysics‚ of course! Astrophysics is a branch of astronomy dealing with the behavior‚ physical properties‚ and dynamic processes of celestial objects and phenomena. This may have originated from the Chaldeans and Mesopotamians at 5000 B.C. They had discovered patterns and regularities

After his graduation‚ Mendel decided to go into a two-year program at Philosophical Institute of the University of Olomouc.While he was there he had studied mathematics‚ physics‚ and philosophy. Mendel again excelled academically‚mainly in physics and math. Mendel had abandoned his studies more than once when he was there because of his depression‚ but he did graduate from that program in 1843. When Mendel was 21 one of his professors said he should be a monk

Recent discoveries in quantum physics and in cosmology shed new light on how mind interacts with matter. These discoveries compel acceptance of the idea that there is far more than just one universe and that we constantly interact with many of these “hidden” universes.(1)In 1954‚ a young Princeton University doctoral candidate named Hugh Everett III came up with a radical idea: That there exist parallel universes‚ exactly like our universe. (2)These universes are all related to ours; indeed‚ they

By tying these discoveries to the work Johannes Kepler and his Laws of Planetary motion‚ he established classic mechanics the beginning of modern Physics. This was huge in many ways as he proved definitively the heliocentric model first proposed by Copernicus. He also was the first to propose a set of laws that described the motion of all things in the universe. This served as the basis for our understanding

While attending school he worked as a lab assistant in the field of physics under the name of Robert Millikan. When later Millikan won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his measurement of electronic charge. In 1910 Hubble enrolled into Oxford University where he studied law for three years. Not happy with being a lawyer he later received his astronomy doctorate in 1917

I have also noticed that most of the engineering courses have slightly similar substance and structure in the beginning and only specialise later on‚ I find this to be quite an appealing factor. At college my favourite subjects include physics and mathematics as I take great pleasure in applying the concepts learned on real life situations. Mathematics is often described as the building blocks of life; everything around us consists of mathematics‚ without numbers it would be impossible
