	Philosophy of Science, by Roger Jones
		The shift in the western mind from the medieval to the modern was underpinned by the growth of science.
		Science progresses when a theory is shown to be wrong and a new theory is introduced which better explains the phenomena.
		At the boundaries of science new paradigms are emerging to challenge the current orthodoxy, it is an open question as to how the science of the next century will develop.

	What is Science?
		Science, in contrast, is the attempt to reach demonstrable, replicable, conclusions about the natural world (and social science is the corresponding attempt to reach demonstrable conclusions about the social or human world).
		Science and religion are very different, both in what they try to do and in the approaches they use to accomplish their goals.
		Science is the concerted effort by very real human beings to understand the history of the natural world and how the natural world works.

	Science Quotes
		Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
		Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
		Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to meter.

	HOS: 1. What is Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Neither will science be understood to be abstract theories such as found in astrophysics or elementary particle physics that are practically beyond understanding by anyone outside the few specialists working at the frontiers of these specializations.
		Then can science be defined by looking at the range of activities "scientists do." Many of us would be hard-pressed to say much more about the nature of science than that science is whatever it is scientists do for a living.
		A descriptive definition was said to be that science is what is "accepted by the scientific community" and is "what scientists do." The obvious implication of this description is that, in a free society, knowledge does not require the imprimatur of legislation in order to become science.

	James J
		The representational idiom casts science as, above all, an activity that seeks to represent nature, to produce knowledge that maps, mirrors, or corresponds to how the world really is. In so doing, it precipitates a characteristic set of fears about the adequacy of scientific representation that constitute the familiar philosophical problematics of realism and objectivity.
		Before I turn to a consideration of metaphor and the metaphorics of science as performative tools, I want to take a preliminary look at recent use of the term, practice, in science studies, since deployment of that term crucially limits the space within which metaphor may be allowed to operate.
		Chroniclers of the sciences often assumed that their task was to tell stories about the temporal development of natural knowledge.

	CHAPTER XXXIII - A DYNAMIC THEORY OF HISTORY (1904)
		The danger was all the greater because men of science covered it with "larger synthesis," and poets called the undevout astronomer mad.
		Yet the telescope held it rigidly standing on its head; the microscope revealed a universe that defied the senses; gunpowder killed whole races that lagged behind; the compass coerced the most imbruted mariner to act on the impossible idea that the earth was round; the press drenched Europe with anarchism.
		Not one considerable man of science dared face the stream of thought; and the whole number of those who acted, like Franklin, as electric conductors of the new forces from nature to man, down to the year 1800, did not exceed a few score, confined to a few towns in western Europe.

	Light and Enlightenment in Joseph Wright of Derby’s The Alchymist
		The interactions between art and science provide a fruitful area of research as they reveal the complexity of contemporary attitudes to science and the way in which art reflects or structures lines of scientific inquiry.
		This choice was critical, as the contemporary chemical sciences were accused of being simply a ‘collection of facts, the causes of which, and their relations to each other are so imperfectly understood, that it is not yet capable either of the synthetic or analytic modes of explanation’, not ‘one regular, connected science’.
		Although the definition of ‘science’ in the eighteenth century should not be confused with the word’s current meaning, the term had changed from its association with strict book-learning (scientia) to encompass the experimental approach (ars).

	The Scientific Revolution
		The medievals had inherited the science from Islam, for chemistry was never a separate discipline in Greek or Roman thought.
		Experimental science, then, requires that all factors that have gone into the experience of the natural phenomenon be cataloged in some way.
		The first electrical storage device was invented in 1745, the so-called "Leyden jar," and in 1749, Benjamin Franklin demonstrated that lightning was electricity by firing up a Leyden jar in a thunderstorm (this discovery led to the invention of the lightning rod).

	The Galileo Project \| Science \| Johannes Kepler
		Johannes Kepler was born in Weil der Stadt in Swabia, in southwest Germany.
		Kepler went on to provide the beginning of a theory of the telescope in his Dioptrice, published in 1611.
		During this period the Keplers had three children (two had been born in Graz but died within months), Susanna (1602), who married Kepler's assistant Jakob Bartsch in 1630, Friedrich (1604-1611), and Ludwig (1607-1663).

		To gain insight into the immunomodulatory effects of vitamin E (VE), immune cell population analyses were conducted using thymus and spleen from male broilers fed diets with various levels of VE supplementation (0, 17, 46, and 87 mg dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate/kg of feed).
		Two trials of similar design were conducted to determine the nonphytate phosphorus (NPP) requirements for broilers from 42 to 63 d of age in diets with or without phytase supplementation.

		Yet if it hadn’t been for the lesser known Tycho Brahe, the Imperial Mathematician at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor in Prague, the man for whom Kepler apprenticed, Kepler would be a mere footnote in today’s science books.
		This groundbreaking history portrays the stormy collaboration between these two astronomers at the turn of the seventeenth century and their shattering discoveries that would mark the transition from medieval to modern science.
		An epic of scientific discovery, HEAVENLY INTRIGUE is a tale of protean invention, personal ambition, the search for truth and beauty amid power politics, court intrigue, superstition, and the ever-present quest to reach farther into the universe.
