 Science Fiction: The Early History
Therefore science fiction is the only literature capable of exploring the macrohistory of our species, and of placing our history, and even our daily lives, in a cosmic context.
For science fiction, like other forms of literature typical of industrial society, is propagated in mass-produced magazines and books, which require advanced manufacturing and distribution as well as a large literate audience.
The period of modern science, technology, and science fiction, which began with the Industrial Revolution just over 200 years ago, would then be equivalent on our spatial scale to.024 inches, about the thickness of a line made by a medium ball point pen.

 Hypnotherapy – Art or Science?
If science cannot agree what hypnosis is and how it works, then it will never have the appeal of processes such as reading and remembering, which can at least be measured in simple ways.
As artists we use processes which, by definition, science cannot recreate any more than it can measure how good an artist or a work of art is. Quite often, therapists remark that their best results are obtained during a particularly creative moment.
Science produced a machine which seemed at first to be able to do something which art had been striving to do for centuries, i.e.

 Industrial Design Studentships - Royal Commission of 1851
The 1851 Commission belies its name by energetic support for the cutting edge of science and technology, and its profitable exploitation by British industry.
In the Commissioners' view, industrial design cannot be dissociated from a clear understanding of the underlying engineering science of the product and it is for this reason that first degrees in science or engineering are prescribed.
Applicants and their colleges are assured that, once awarded, the 1851 Fellowships are refreshingly free of tiresome bureaucratic procedures, and lay no claim on intellectual property rights or commercial-in-confidence material.

 Paulina Wright Davis, Address to 1851 Convention
In it Davis, president of the 1851 as well as the 1850 convention, sought to establish a theoretical basis for woman's rights without prejudging the question of whether there were differences between the sexes which would fit each for particular "spheres" of endeavor.
In general terms, the cultivation of those physical sciences which direct in the use of mechanical forces, and those coarser competitions and ruder conflicts of men which foreign commerce and destructive wars require, would fall to the province of the sterner sex.
For example, his greater physical energy demands superiority in those sciences which are concerned in mechanics; but the same principle denies his superiority in botany, chemistry and astronomy, unless to the extent that mathematics or the science of quantity, as it may be called, intervenes.

The development of universities throughout Europe along with scientific societies begins to make it possible for relatively poor people and people without wealthy patrons to study science.
England lags rather behind the times with these developments, as much teaching is still done by churchmen and the emphasis is on practical ideas.
In the USA science is also the poor relation.

 Science Proves
The only real conflict between science and religion is seen in the fact that the multitude of scientists fail to comprehend the true depth of science, and the vast majority of religious people in the world fail to comprehend the true depth of their own religion.
What confronts us is the problem that modern science has only now just begun to reveal to us a greater picture of both ourselves and the world in which we live that is simply beyond the scope of our present-day notions of Creation.
Not once it is realized that their own prophets of science have warned them that the true source of all that we see, think and feel, as well as all events that we interact with on a daily basis, lies beyond the physical world they view with their bodily senses.

 The most beautiful experiment (September 2002) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
That is true even when, as in the case of some Millikan oil-drop simulations, "dirty" drops that cannot be fitted to the right result are deliberately included along with clean ones in an attempt to promote verisimilitude.
It is natural to call beautiful those that captivate and transform our thinking, that make the result stand out clearly and economically and not abstractly as a lesson but in a materially embodied way, and that reveal that we are actively engaging with something beyond us.
To speak about beauty in science as belonging solely to the province of theory or equations is to misunderstand both beauty and science.

From the year when Newton published his Principia to the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851, science gradually became central to Western thought and economic development.
By the mid-eighteenth century the new science had achieved ascendancy, and the race was on to apply Newtonian mechanics to industry and manufacturing.
Choosing their examples carefully, Jacob and Stewart show that there was nothing preordained or inevitable about the centrality awarded to science.

 Friedrich Nietzsche (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
These nomadic years were the occasion of Nietzsche's main works, among which are Daybreak (1881), The Gay Science (1882), Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883-85), Beyond Good and Evil (1886), and On the Genealogy of Morals (1887).
The doctrine also functions as a measure for judging someone's overall psychological strength and mental health, since Nietzsche believed that the doctrine of eternal recurrence was the hardest world-view to accept and affirm.
In 1887, The Gay Science was reissued with an important preface, an additional fifth Book, and an appendix of songs, reminiscent of the troubadours.
