When Gustav Robert Kirchhoff’s banker questioned the financial unreliability that would result from Mr. Kirchhoff investing his hard-earned gold in Fraunhofer lines‚ Kirchhoff handed him the medal he had earned from his research and replied “Look here‚ I have succeeded at last in fetching some gold from the sun.” Despite how phenomenally sassy this quote makes him appear‚ Kirchhoff lived a quiet life (aside from his incredible scientific contributions‚ of course). Gustav Robert Kirchhoff was born

Einstein’s general relativity‚ and quantum mechanics on understanding the universe‚ and how only one could be right not both. Greene began to talk about string theory which is a collection of concepts in which the point like particles of particle physics are switched by one dimensional object called strings. String theory says the particle properties are a reflection of the various ways in which string can vibrate. The strings are really small‚ way smaller than an atomic nucleus; they vibrate different

Allan Rex Sandage was an American observational cosmologist‚ who seen as one of the most influential astronomers of the 20th century. He rightfully earned the nicknames “Mr. Cosmology” and the “Super Hubble”‚ as continued and refined the work of Edwin Hubble and made many discoveries of his own along they way‚ including discovering the first quasar and producing the first reasonable estimate for the Hubble Constant (h0). Throughout his career‚ some of Sandage’s notable awards include the Helen B

The concern is with the nature and status of scientific knowledge. It is important to distinguish between science and non-sciences‚ and at the three theories how science works. Science and Pseudo-Science Science denote subjects such as physics‚ chemistry and biology. To people “science” is like a guarantee to something reliable‚ such as on medicines‚ to sell it to people. Things that are considered as “scientific” by their proponents: Acupuncture = the belief that by inserting needles

For years‚ the trusty seat belt provided the sole form of passive restraint in our cars. There were debates about their safety‚ especially relating to children‚ but over time‚ much of the country adopted mandatory seat-belt laws. Statistics have shown that the use of seat belts has saved thousands of lives that might have been lost in collisions. Like seat belts‚ the concept of the airbag -- a soft pillow to land against in a crash -- has been around for many years. The first patent on

the name itself states‚ the scientific revolution was a time when sciences prospered and came to light. By definition‚ the scientific revolution was the emergence of modern science during the early modern period‚ when developments in mathematics‚ physics‚ astronomy‚ biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the views of society about nature. Just like humanism and the renaissance‚ the scientific revolution was when individuals took to share their knowledge with the rest of the World;

TEN EQUATIONS THAT CHANGED THE WIRLD The brightest minds in history have used mathematics to lay the foundation for how we measure and understand our universe. Time and time again‚ we have proved that it only takes one simple formula to alter the course of humanity. Here are ten equations that did just that. ISSAC NEWTON’S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION Newton’s law explains why planets move the way they do‚ and how gravity works‚ both on earth and throughout the universe. First published in the
