And about the project question... I am answering no because I dont think that these findings changed the discipline of science any more than any other new findings in science did.

Sarah, I agree, a ...

Bohr - Developed the idea of orbits within an atom which electrons jump to and from depending on the amount of energy added to the atom. I'd have to look back at my chem notes from sophomore year (if ...

I think I'm getting too bogged down in trying to understand the logistics of everything. My gut reaction is to try to understand everything in the big picture instead of focusing on all scientific the ...

Ooo that makes more sense, thanks Eli! Smile

I also found the reading to be quite confusing. I re-read it three times and still had difficulty answering the questions. (Maybe it's my lack of brain power from being sick). So please bear with me i ...

Oh, and my definition of history: An accurate documentation of people, objects, events, or places from the past.

I would personally consider Thucydides to be the father of history. While Herodotus is clearly known by many to be the 'father of history' for a reason, the fact that he has been accused of fabricatin ...

Plato's theory of forms: Ideas, not material things, are the fundamental kind of reality. Aristotle believed in individuality. For example, he stood by the idea that every human is and should be diffe ...
