    Through observations, we got an idea of what we could hypothesis—observations gave us limitations on what we could hypothesis. Through the process of scientific inquire, we had to think critically about what could be inside the bottle and how we can support our hypothesis without opening the bottle. In other words, we had to come up with different methods to support or falsify our…

    A letter written by Marin Mersenne to his noble patron stated, “... you will not find a single word that is not true in my experiments, which many times confirm those of the great Galileo… I am assured my experiments have been repeated… some more than 100 times, before reliable witnesses, all who agree with my conclusions,” (Doc 4), regarding his book. Mersenne’s confidence in Galileo’s discoveries was clearly expressed through the letter. During that time, Galileo improved upon the experimental method by suggesting that instead of speculating the results, an individual should perform controlled experiments, developing inductive reasoning. With the endorsement of other people, scientists therefore became more encouraged and inspired to discover new information. Not only monks and the commoners, but also monarchs like Louis XIV showed appreciation for the sciences.…

    The cultural clashes amongst the people of the Hmong and Westered based society of America about health care is a clash of ideologies and ethnocentrism. A refusal to find middle ground and a general misunderstanding of each other’s cultures. Each of these culture’s healing arts, be that biomedicine of America or the traditional healings of the Hmong, are working remedies that tackle the problems faced by healers and doctors with a unique understanding of one’s culture. Through the Hmong it is a spiritual and a truly holistic understanding of the body, while the American biomedicine divides things into parts, like a car. These two systems while approaching the same field with different understandings, can have similar results.…

    This also led to another famous method: The scientific method that we’ve had to learn and put to the test at some point. The basis for this is Observation, the reason for why something is what is, do research, conduct a hypothesis, and then test your findings with an experiment. His rules stated in principia say “1) we are to admit no more causes of natural things such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances, (2) the same natural effects must be assigned to the same causes, (3) qualities of bodies are to be esteemed as universal, and (4) propositions deduced from observation of phenomena should be viewed as accurate until other phenomena contradict them (Gianopoulos, Andrea, Phil Miller, and Charles Barnett. Isaac Newton…

    In Newton’s experiments, critical observation was involved, they were proved mathematically and became evidences. Mathematical calculations can explain concepts objectively, which means Newton’s findings are rather logical as he avoided stating opinionated statements without examples. These calculations can also be applied to predict events in the future. In 1684, Halley asked Newton about the force of attraction towards the sun, Newton answer that he used calculations to prove the curve being in an ellipsis shape (Cohen 52). Although he didn’t manage to find his calculated solution, he used another new method to prove it and had the same answer (Cohen 52).…

    Rationalism and Empiricism ; focussing on Rationalism When we do somethings whose results are known to us, like throwing an object in the air, so we know that it will fall back on the ground, How can we say this? Is it because we’ve seen things fall if we toss them up in the air or is it because of us learning some laws of physics ( the gravitation law ) The above example shows Empirisicm and Rationalism in the respective cases. This has been a famous argument in philosophy for a long time. There are two categories of people, the first are the empiricists that claim that our ideas or knowledge is based and gained from our own experiences and the information gained through our senses.…

    There is little doubt that knowledge can be produced through active experiment and passive observation. But they are just two of the several ways in which humans can produce knowledge. In fact, it is accepted that there are eight ways in which knowledge can be acquired. These ways are the following ones: Sense perception, Language, Reason, Emotion, Imagination, Faith, Intuition and Memory. Occasionally, knowledge can be produced in some other way, for example by random discovery (a.k.a. serendipity), as in the case of penicillin which was discovered by chance from mold and later gave rise to a whole new category of drugs.…
