1
New cards

Isaac Newton

1600-1700s- laws of motion, universal gravitation

2
New cards

John Dalton

1700s-1800s- atomic theory

3
New cards

Charles Darwin

1800s evolution

4
New cards

Mary Shelley

1800s- Frankenstein

5
New cards

Albert Einstein

1900s - theory of relativity, time and space aren’t absolute

6
New cards

Quantum Theory

1900s- atoms moving as particles/waves

7
New cards

Thomas Kuhn

1900s - paradigms, scientific revolutions

8
New cards

Luigi Galvani

1700s- electricity/frog

9
New cards

Nicolas Steno

1600s - geological evolution

10
New cards

Theory of Relativity

1900s- time and space are relative (Einstein)

11
New cards

Lord Kelvin

1900s- absolute 0, temperature

12
New cards

Werner Heisenberg

1900s- Quantum Theory

13
New cards

Scientific Revolution

1600s- Newton, Universal Gravitation, Heliocentrism, Math

14
New cards

Logical Positivism

1900s- Criterion of Verifiability

15
New cards

Newton’s Laws of Motion (2)

  1. Object in Motion stays in motion while an object at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

  2. Universal gravitation: everything that has mass has gravity, the larger and closer the object, the more gravity it has

16
New cards

4 steps of Biological Evolution

  1. Inheritance

  2. Variation of Offspring

  3. Struggle for Existence

  4. Natural Selection

17
New cards

Inheritance

inherit traits from parents

18
New cards

Variation of Offspring

a parent’s offspring has different traits

19
New cards

Struggle for Existence

stronger traits are better for survival

20
New cards

natural selection

stronger traits will survive and weaker traits will die off

21
New cards

Victor Frankenstein

Who was the scientist that artificially creates life?

22
New cards

goes against the belief of the soul since the monster doesn’t have a soul & humanity has the ability to create life which should be God’s role alone

How does Frankenstein go against the Aristotelian Worldview?

23
New cards

soul should be the cause of motion and life, but the experiment shows that electrical currents are the cause of motion

How does the electricity & frog experiment go against the Aristotelian worldview?

24
New cards

time and space are relative and can change depending on an object's motion (twins would be different ages if one were to travel on a different planet)

What is Einstein’s Theory of Relativity?

25
New cards

atoms appear to move as both particles and waves at the same time, the difference is how you observe it; wave like behavior is present when light passes through slits in an experiment; particle like behavior is present when particles interact with detectors/other particles

What is the Quantum Theory?

26
New cards

logical positivism

in order for something to be true, it has to be verified with our senses

27
New cards

criterion of verifiability

if something isn’t verified with our senses then it is meaningless

28
New cards

paradigm

rules as to how science is conducted, every way of doing science

29
New cards

4 steps in Paradigm

  1. Normal Science

  2. Anomalies

  3. Crisis

  4. Revolution Science

30
New cards

Normal Science

is conducted under the rules of the paradigm

31
New cards

Anomalies

observation that violates the rule of the paradigm

32
New cards

crisis

a bunch of anomalies (don’t know what rules science follows anymore)

33
New cards

revolution science

a new paradigm is formed & and science is conducted under the new rules of the paradigm

34
New cards

20th

What century is the 1900s?
