 34. A Law of Acceleration (1904). Adams, Henry. 1918. The Education of Henry Adams
Science has quite enough trouble in measuring its material motions without volunteering help to the historian, but the historian needs not much help to measure some kinds of social movement; and especially in the nineteenth century, society by common accord agreed in measuring its progress by the coal-output.
Loosely guessing that science controls habitually the whole range from absolute zero to 3000° Centigrade, one might assume, for convenience, that the ten-year ratio for volume could be used temporarily for intensity; and still there remained a ratio to be guessed for other forces than heat.
With the correctness of their science, history had no right to meddle, since their science now lay in a plane where scarcely one or two hundred minds in the world could follow its mathematical processes; but bombs educate vigorously, and even wireless telegraphy or airships might require the reconstruction of society.

 Science Reading Room: Battle of the Centuries (Library of Congress)
As a writer stated in the January 13, 1900, Scientific American, "It is a venerable error, long-lived and perhaps immortal." The shortness of human life is also a factor; as a century approaches its end, hardly anyone who experienced the previous conflict is still living, so we are doomed to undergo another round.
AY1014.A25, 1900 Refers to the controversy over the dividing point between the centuries, shows why 1900 is the last year of the 19th century, and suggests that the dispute will be renewed as the year 2000 approaches.

 Science Fiction Before 1900: Imagination Discovers Technology:0805709525:Alkon, Paul K.:eCampus.com
Because science has played the leading role in defining our world today, science fiction has become the twentieth century's most characteristic form of literature.
Reflecting too the global nature of science, science fiction is the most international of all genres.
After thus defining science fiction and examining the genre's origins, aesthetics, and social context, he proceeds to chapters on England, France, and America, an unusual arrangement vastly different from the patented chronological order.

The coal-output of the world, speaking roughly, doubled every ten years between 1840 and 1900, in the form of utilized power, for the ton of coal yielded three or four times as much power in 1900 as in 1840.
The development of coal-power in the nineteenth century furnished the first means of assigning closer values to the elements; and the appearance of supersensual forces towards 1900 made this calculation a pressing necessity; since tne next step became infinitely serious.
In 1900 they were plainly forced bacl; on faith in a unity unproved and an order they had themselves disproved.

 History of Science: 1700 to 1900 (Detailed Description)
Yet, as the 1700s began, the mysteries of the universe were pondered by "natural philosophers"—the term "scientist" didn't even exist until the mid 19th century—whose explanations couldn't help but be influenced by the religious thought and political and social contexts that shaped their world.
The discussions of scientific principles always show how science developed and how scientific inquiry influenced, and was influenced by, the culture of which it was a part.
This history of science series beginning in the 18th century works very well on its own, and is also designed to follow chronologically from Professor Lawrence M. Principe's 36-lecture course on the history of the foundations of science, The History of Science: Antiquity to 1700.

England lags rather behind the times with these developments, as much teaching is still done by churchmen and the emphasis is on practical ideas.

Landon concentrates on the notions that sf is the literature of change and that its readers have as much as its writers to do with its definition as either a literature or a genre or a point of view or a facet of popular culture.
He traces the mainstream of sf and also its more recondite subgenres in concentrated but lucid prose, using analyses of selected works to keep the threads of an appallingly complex development from disappearing in a mire of names and titles, which more helpfully appear in a bibliographic essay and an annotated list of recommended reading.
Brooks Landon analyses science fiction not as a set of rules for writers, but as a set of expectations for readers.

 History of Science: 1700 to 1900
This course reveals how experimental and theoretical investigation into a host of new subjects dramatically shaped natural science from the period of the Enlightenment, or Age of Reason, through the 19th century.
As much a history course as it is a science course, it cuts across scientific disciplines to show you the spirit of excitement and exploration that accompanied the development of science.
And it illuminates science's complex relationship with society by examining their dilemma of trying to unearth basic scientific principles while contending with equally demanding pressures from State, Church, and culture.
