Unlike the people of Columbus's time, many scientists in Hellenistic times knew that the Earth was round.
They did not. It is often thought that until Columbus' travels, people thought that the world was flat. But they didn't. Every medieval scientist and sailor knew that it was round. And it was the ancient Greek scientists that had not only already figured this out 2,500 years earlier, but they had - with astonishing precision - calculated the Earth's exact circumference and size. And both groups of scientists had more or less equal knowledge of the empires (and products) of the Far East. There had been extensive overland contact with them for thousands of years. The only (small) difference was that to the ancient Greeks, the geography outside the Mediterranean world was little known, and to the scientist in Columbus' time, just a little more: the coasts of Africa had been explored and partially mapped by then. And the Portuguese knew how they had to navigate from there to get to India and China. It was for that reason that the Portuguese refused to fund Columbus when he first approached them. They looked at his maps and calculations and decided that these estimated the size of the globe at less than 2/3rds of its real size - and that he therefore would never find India where he thought it would be. Columbus by the way refused to ever acknowledge that he had discovered a 'new' continent. Until his dying day he maintained that he had discovered islands close to the coast of mainland India.
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection challenged prevailing scientific beliefs about the fixed nature of species and the Earth's history. Many scientists of his time adhered to the idea of a young Earth with unchanging species, guided by divine creation. Darwin's theories proposed that species change over time through natural selection and that Earth's history extended back millions of years, which was a radical departure from prevailing scientific thought.
Darwin's beliefs about Earth differed from other scientists of his time primarily in his theory of evolution through natural selection, which proposed that species change over time in response to their environment. This challenged the prevailing view of species being unchanging and individually created by a divine entity. Darwin's ideas also emphasized the interconnectedness of all life forms through a common ancestry, which was a departure from the prevailing belief in separate, unrelated creations.
Electromagnetic radiation is also known as electromagnetic waves. That are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles. Electromagnetic energy is a term used to describe all the different kinds of energies.
Rocks can differ in their composition, texture, and origin. Composition refers to the minerals present in the rock. Texture refers to the size, shape, and arrangement of mineral grains within the rock. Origin refers to how the rock was formed, whether it was through cooling of magma, cementing of sediments, or alteration of existing rocks.
Hellenistic polis varied greatly from the original greek polis. I would suggest checking out UNC website. There is a link to it below.
Scientists work on different stuff then historians do.
Scientific names never differ among scientists.
Theories are proven. Hypothesis are ideas.
left is for analytical thinking, while right is for creative thinking. left allows one to talk.
Yes.
Hellenistic literature, philosophy, and art emphasize individualism, emotional expression, and cosmopolitanism, reflecting the diverse cultures of the Hellenistic world. In contrast, Hellenic achievements typically focused on ideals of harmony, balance, and universal truths. Hellenistic works also showcase a more complex and realistic depiction of the human experience, as seen in the works of authors like Epicurus, philosophers like Stoics, and artworks like the Venus de Milo statue.
An emerging idea has been examined by a large number of scientists.
Critical thinking is concentrating on one line of thought about one subject. Daydreaming is your mind going on "walkabout." There is no focus typically.
Forensic Scientists have a differ in salary comprehensions. They get paid due to State conditions and normally get paid $60,000 - $80,000 annually in Australia.
I am thinking that they just differ in their physical structures; both contain pseudocoeloms
Aristotle believed matter was continuous and unchanging, while scientists view matter as composed of discrete particles and subject to change. Aristotle's concept of matter lacked the atomic nature described by scientists later on.
