	Science - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		Throughout the history of science, numerous researchers have fallen into this trap, either in the hope of self-advancement or because they firmly believe their ideas to be true.
		Astronomy is the science of the heavens in general, while astrophysics is a branch of astronomy that investigates the physical and chemical nature of stars and other objects.
		They include sciences such as cardiology, urology, and oncology, which investigate particular organs and disorders, and also pathology, the general study of disease and the changes that it causes in the human body.

	Fields for science and religion
		The restriction of science by Cartesian dualism to the material, observable realm of existence, disallowing it to admit that there may be other realms of existence and fields of study, may well be regarded as a way of keeping scientific inquiry ‘factual’ and ‘objective’.
		It is quite unfortunate for science that it reduces man, as it does the universe, to his physical existence and tries to explain all his intellectual and spiritual activities in wholly physical terms.
		The separation of science and religion and assigning to each a different realm of competence or relevance is responsible for religion being seen as a set of myths and dogmas—blind beliefs—and science remaining in the darkness of materialism.

	How To Defend Society Against Science
		It is to science that we owe our increased intellectual freedom vis-a-vis religious beliefs; it is to science that we owe the liberation of mankind from ancient and rigid forms of thought.
		Science often proceeds systematically, but so do other ideologies (just consult the records of the many doctrinal debates that took place in the Church) and, besides, there are no overriding rules which are adhered to under any circumstances; there is no "scientific methodology" that can be used to separate science from the rest.
		Science is just one of the many ideologies that propel society and it should be treated as such (this statement applies even to the most progressive and most dialectical sections of science).

	History of science.
		Science teaching, in schools and in universities, now often includes bits of science history - and there are some courses specifically on History of Science.
		When science was all books written and read in Latin, that had some big advantages and disadvantages for scientists in allowing publication to be international but often very limited and censored so the education of early scientists mostly involved Plato, Aristotle and Euclid.
		But after Newton local natural language science journals took over and scientists were soon addressing only recent journal articles in their own language and were generally poorly educated on wider science theory.

	New science theory.
		Science is basically the combination of good logical reasoning with good practical knowledge of actual natural phenomena.
		It was not until the 1500's that real science emerged first in Europe, with the chief requirement that both good logical reasoning and good practical knowledge of actual natural phenomena must be combined to produce valid descriptions of natural phenomena and valid science theories.
		Science histories often have serious weaknesses, and for basic physics history this website's interpretations are the best and should be studyied first, but you may also like a look at this mostly not too unreasonable summary science history

	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.
		Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

	Science Of The Expedition
		If not for Lewis' incredible intelligence, background knowledge of the rudimentary science of his day, powers of observation and his ability to apply this knowledge in the field, the significance of the Lewis and Clark Expedition would be greatly diminished.
		It was Lewis alone of the expedition members who stood closest to being a man of science, both during and after the expedition.
		Barton was the first professor of natural sciences in the United States and wrote the first U.S. textbook on botany.

	About This Course
		Rather than attempting to survey the history of science since 1650, this course will focus on three pivotal episodes in modern Western science and will seek to compare the impacts made by Newton, Darwin and Einstein on both science and society.
		We shall also examine the fate of the natural sciences in three periods of intense political and social change: the French Revolution of the 1790s, the Soviet Revolution of 1917-30, and the Nazi "Revolution" of the 1930s.
		Each team will study, respectively, the fate of science in one of the three political revolutions noted above, and will prepare a written essay of not less than 15 pages, a multi-media or web-page presentation, and an in-class presentation summarizing its research and conclusions.

	History of Biology
		The Babylonians were quite knowledgeable in a number of areas of science: their knowledge of astronomy was very advanced by even 1500 BC or earlier.
		Because modern science distinguishes between subjective and objective and teaches us that objective is “good” and subjective is “bad,” this creates for us an increasingly wide gulf between our perceptions of phenomena and the concepts by which we explain them.
		Since then, science has “bent over backwards,” as it were, to insure objectivity and make sure it has nothing to do with religion, which many scientists reject as being too subjective.

		Unable to account otherwise for this agreement, they were led to regard mathematics as the study of ultimate, eternal reality, immanent in nature and the universe, rather than as a branch of logic or a tool of science and technology" (Boyer 1949:1).
		Consequently, when the Pythagoreans developed the theory of geometric magnitudes, by which they were able to compare two surfaces' ratio, they were led, for lack of a system which could handle irrational numbers, to the 'incommensurability problem': Applying the side of a square to the diagonal, no common rational measure is discoverable.

		John van Wyhe, Fellow, National University of Singapore; Researcher, History and philosophy of science, Cambridge University.
		A common historical myth is that Victorian geology was torn between religious traditionalists and secular geologists.
		In fact long before the Victorian period all accredited geologists (with very few exceptions) agreed that the earth was millions of years old, that strata were layers from different times and the Book of Genesis was either not incompatible with the findings of modern geology or irrelevant to them.

		Early in his career he became an expert on the mathematics of sundials and also invented a pantograph (a device for copying and enlarging drawings).
		Until the end, he worked on a massive refutation of the Copernican theory, the finished part of which was published posthumously, in 1650, under the title Prodromus pro Sole Mobili et Terra Stabili contra Galilaeum a Galileis ("Introductory Treatise in Favor of a Moving Sun and a Stable Earth against Galileo Galilei").

		Her major thesis is that geology became a science in late 18th-century Europe rather than in early 19th-century Britain, as is generally presumed.

		Infrared building science is the application of infrared (IR) thermographic inspection techniques as a powerful and noninvasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of buildings.
		IR cameras in the hands of trained thermographers can provide immediate documentation of as-built, pre- and post-restoration conditions, post-casualty Cause and Origin data, plumbing and building envelope water leakage, post-flood and fire water-damaged material assessment, energy use inefficiency, and electrical problems.
		The thermogram of this vinyl-sided 3-floor apartment house clearly shows the path of a serious leak from a washing machine on the third floor, which is completely hidden within the wall.
