  1953 in science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carnap now emphasized the idea that progress in science depends on the gradual accumulation of many small results that support our understanding of the world, a view more in line with Wittgenstein's later philosophy and biological sciences.
As part of an extended series of publications on science, Pope Pius XII published "The Technician" which instructed scientists to restrict themselves to the study of physical matter and do nothing to undermine the idea of a non-material soul or a Superior Being.
In 1951 and 1952 physicists such as Frederick Reines, Enrico Fermi and Clyde Cowan discussed plans for detecting neutrinos.

 Psychology and the frontier of science
And science is still coming to grips with the significance of Watson and Crick's explication of the structure of DNA, first published in 1953.
I eagerly scanned the timeline for the milestones that have advanced the science of psychology.
I would suggest that psychology is actually the hardest science of all, and that it has taken so long because science has needed the time to mature to the point where it can finally tackle questions like these.

 The Nature of Science
The nature of science and its claims for rationality have led to thousands of books on the history and philosophy of science over the past century.
In addition to traditional philosophy of science (represented by Popper below) which largely deals with the logical claims of science as a way to find truth, the newer philosophy of science is implicitly (Kuhn) or explicitly (Feyerabend) critical of claims that science has any inside track on truth or even rationality.
A defense of science from the claims of certain members of the academic world that science is inherently biased and privileges some forms of thinking over others.

 Carl Gustav Hempel [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In his monograph Fundamentals of concept formation in empirical science (1952) Hempel describes the methods according to which physical quantities are defined.
According to Hempel, there is an implicit assumption in neopositivist analysis of science, that is the meaning of theoretical terms can be explained by means of linguistic methods.
Finally, the interpretation of science due to instrumentalism is not tenable.

O Logic: born gatekeeper to the Temple of Science, victim of capricious destiny: doomed hitherto to be the drudge of pedants: come to the aid of thy master, Legislation.
Every science that has thriven has thriven upon its own symbols: logic, the only science which is admitted to have made no improvements in century after century, is the only one which has grown no symbols.
Every other science, even logic, especially in its early stages, is in danger of evaporating into airy nothingness, degenerating, as the Germans say, into an arachnoid film, spun from the stuff that dreams are made of.

 Brief History of the California State Science Fair   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Fair was incorporated as the Southern California Science Fair by representatives of the California Science Teachers' Association, Los Angeles County Museum (now the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History), and the California Institute of Technology.
Miss Gretchen Sibley, then Treasurer of the Science Teachers' Association, was selected Chairman of the Steering Committee, and after the Fair was incorporated, became the Executive Director, in which capacity she served for the first ten years of the Fair's existence.
Though the scale of the event is now larger, the goals of the current State Science Fair are much the same as they were in 1952 -- to encourage more students to learn about science by doing their own science fair projects, and to recognize them and their mentors for their efforts.

 International Social Science Review: Guatemala's 1952 Agrarian Reform Law: a critical reassessment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In this article, I contend that when seen within their context, the very data utilized to tell a story of land reform success reveal, instead, a pattern of discriminatory land distribution favoring Guatemala's ladino minority and the reform's general failure to improve the lives of Guatemalan peasants.
Guatemala's 1952 Agrarian Reform Law had as its foundation the 1945 Guatemalan Consitution, (9) Article 88, which empowered the Guatemalan government to direct the national economy toward benefiting Guatemalan society.
It is a primary function of the State to develop agricultural activities and industry in general, toward the end that the fruits of labor shall preferentially benefit those who produce them and that the wealth shall reach the greatest number of inhabitants of the Republic.

There are, therefore, topics within the study of science and the public, such as anti-scientific sentiment, the science wars, trust in science, and situated knowledge, that relate to the Fortean and Skeptic communities.
Science relates to real knowledge no more than does the growth of a plant, or the organization of a department store, or the development of a nation: that all are assimilative, or organizing, or systematizing processes that represent different attempts to attain the positive state...
Or the notion is that the underlying super-attempt, as expressed in Science, is indifferent to the subject-matter of Science: that the attempt to regularize is the vital spirit.(28)

 Review of David Starr: Space Ranger
This book, by the way, was one of the "Lucky Starr" books which suffered from advances in astronomy during the 1950’s and 1960’s, and later editions contain an introduction from Asimov explaining how.
This is actually a very thoughtful thing for him to do—I don’t know of any other science fiction works which contain disclaimers specifically pointing out where the "science" fails.
Also, in mid-2001, the Science Fiction Book Club published a new omnibus edition of all six “Lucky” Starr books.
