Scientific Validity of “Study links altered brain chemistry, behavioral impairments in fish exposed to elevated CO2” Coral reefs are having a problem with pH levels and they are dying some places around the world right now, because of it. This is not only affecting the coral reefs, but the animals that live in them and survive with them. There is a Scientific Study called “Study links altered brain chemistry, behavioral impairments in fish exposed to elevated CO2” which discusses the behavior…

While science aims to explain particular events and generalizations with the laws of nature, religion aims to explain the same things without being confined to the laws of nature. Religion seeks supernatural explanations to explain the phenomena that science cannot including global why questions, necessary beings, and why the laws of nature are so simple. The conversation between religion and science is often seen as a conflicting debate but Instead of dismissing science and religion as…

causing different philosophers and theologians to research solutions to this question. Philosophers believe that one of the four main theories could explain the problem of identity. Illusion, body, soul, and memory comprise the four theories used to describe identity. These different theories are useful because people have different ideas about identity. Based on which theory an individual chooses to believe…

tFinal Reflection. There are many things that i have experienced in Mr.Pj’s science class. We learned more than just science. Even though we had some amazing times in science class. All the classes were are almost always fun and not boring to where I would just want to sleep through. I'm pretty sure i speak for all of us when i say we learned a lot more than we do in other classes. Like i said earlier though we learned more than just science. We learned the values like getting work done on…

While the modern vision of scientific civilization, developed by Sir Francis Bacon in 17th century England, and the ways science is actually practiced in the world today both pursue objective truth, the modern vision and today’s scientific practices differ in their methods of pursuing truth. The modern vision and the ways science is actually practiced today both pursue objective truth in order to benefit humanity. The modern vision of science pursued truth using experience, which differed from…

Elisabeth Lloyd is a philosophical author, who wrote “Feminism as a Method: What Scientists Get That Philosophers Don’t”. In her book, Lloyd discusses the impact that the role feminism, the philosophy about women, has in scientific research. Lloyd’s position is that feminism can be and should be a significant key and role in making scientific research objective and rigorous. Going along these lines, this means that the influence of feminism on scientific methods is an example about how…

NOVA’s “the Fabric of the Cosmos: Quantum Leap” with Brian Greene “Quantum Leap” not only explores how much the quantum atom has changed our view of the rules that govern our universe, but also how much is has, or will, benefit society. How did science arrive at the quantum atom, and what benefit did (or will) we gain from each of the developments that led us to the quantum atom? After the analytical evidence was gathered by Sir Joseph John Thomson from the scientists before him to create the…

“Science aims to give us, in its theories, a literally true story of what the world is like.”1 This is not a statement that he would necessarily disagree with in a vague sense, but the specifics of what science is actually aiming to explain and the power that theories actually hold is what he refines. The accepted definition of scientific realism, outside of Van Fraassen’s…

In this paper, I will discuss the Problem of Induction and the Principle of Uniformity of Nature’s solution (PUN), proposed by David Hume. Another element of this paper will explore Nelson Goodman’s New Riddle of Induction that derives from Hume’s hypothesis. In addition to that, I will also recount why PUN is insufficient/problematic to justify induction according to Goodman, along with a couple examples of premises that will better demonstrate the issue. There are two types of reasoning –…

The Failure and Success of Alexander Graham Bell Failure in science is frequent and unavoidable. We learn about the scientific method and the importance of observation, hypothesis, and experiment so that we can fix our mistakes if our hypothesis was failed. It has even been said that the point of science is to make as many mistakes as possible as fast as possible. The lessons we take from the obstacles we encounter can be crucial to later success. An example of a scientist who made mistakes…
