HOW HUMANKIND CREATED SCIENCE - FALIN CHEN FANG...

The development of science has been an ideological struggle that lasted over three millennia.
At and after the times of the Babylonian Empire  however  the pace of scientific evolution was
painfully slow. This situation changed after Copernicus kick-started the Scientific Revolution
with his heliocentric theory. Newton's law of universal gravitation transformed natural
philosophy  previously focused on mythology and abstract philosophical thinking  into an
orderly and rational physical science. Einstein's redefinition of space and time revealed a new
and central principle of the Universe  paving the way for the huge amounts of energy held deep
inside physical matter to be released. To this day  many of the our known physical theories
represent an accumulation of changing knowledge over the long course of scientific history. But
what kind of changes did the scientists see? What questions did they address? What methods did
they use? What difficulties did they encounter? And what kind of persecution might they have
faced on the road to discovering these beautiful  sometimes almost mystical  ideas? This book's
purpose is to investigate these questions. It leads the reader through the stories behind major
scientific advancements and their theories  as well as explaining associated examples and
hypotheses. Over the course of the journey  readers will come to understand the way scientists
explore nature and how scientific theories are applied to natural phenomena and every-day
technology.
