What are the assumptions science makes about the nature of reality?

Sunday, May 10th, 2009 | Science | 3 Comments

Randall L asked:


When I was in college, a friend had a natural science textbook that listed the numerous assumptions science makes about what exists and how it exists. (eg. Things have always behaved the same way they do now.) I’ve searched for this on the web, but can’t find the list. Does anyone have it or know where I can find it on the web? Thanks.

What can you do when you are drawn to both science and humanities?

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 | Science | 1 Comment

operaphantom2003 asked:


I need to decide on what to major in and get my schedule done but I still can’t decide. I like sciences (biology, physics, and math) and I like humanities and social sciences (anthropology, English, classics, and political science) and I just don’t know what to do. Is there something that combines science and humanities? I would really like to have a career with just a BS or BA even if it is always entry level, I just want to enjoy my classes.

What good has come from the advances in science?

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 | Science | 2 Comments

asked:


What good has come from the advances in science? Why is science so dangerous? Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications? Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances? What is worth sacrificing in the advances of science? What possible outcomes can come from science in the future?

Mike asked:


You know when you put ground pepper ontop of water in a dish.

The pepper floats on top, covering the water. But when you put some dishwater soap on your finger and stick it in the middle of the dish, The pepper moves away from the finger.

How do you explain this in terms of chemistry and physics?

How do i get good marks in science even when i hate it?

Friday, May 1st, 2009 | Science | 7 Comments

Yuppy kid! =P Roxzzz…. asked:


I hate science. My primary and secondary school teachers have never made me interested in it. It is always confusing and they always deduct so many marks for using a wrong word and u have to explain every detail even for a one mark question. U also need to aply wht u learn and i am bad at that. I always get low marks for science. There is sooooo much memorising to do!!! I hate it yet i want to do well in it. Many pple say tht math and science are related. I love math but hate science. How can it be so? I normally get A+ for math. Any science teachers or excellent science students can help me?
