A logical explanation for events that occur in nature?

nature is far beyond the logical capacity of man. there is infact natural explanation, which is evolution of mass, water, air and its combination to make further complex substances. what is seen is striving of life and reproduction, which is natures way of multilying and substracting.

Which of the following is an example of pseudo science?

Pseudoscience is any subject that appears superficially to be scientific or is claimed by its proponents to be scientific, but is not supporting by testable evidence, or otherwise lacks scientific status. Pseudo-sciences have been characterised by the use of vague, exaggerated or untestable claims, over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation, lack of openness to testing by other experts, and a lack of progress in theory development.

Astrology and alchemy are ancient examples of pseudoscience. Astrologers claim that the stars control our lives and that astrologers can predict our futures. One of the best known examples of alchemy was the continued attempt to turn base metals into gold. Some examples of more recent pseudoscience include dianetics and "creation science". Scientologists claim that dianetics provides a true alternative to psychology. Creation science claims to provide scientific proof that the world was created by a divine agency, without the involvement of evolution, and usually just a few thousand years ago. "Intelligent design" is similar to creation science, but attempts to conceal the inherent religious basis for its claims. Some proponents of "intelligent design" have even proposed a "fourth law of thermodynamics" that is said to prove evolution to be false. The Wedge Document, now in the public domain, was a secret internal document of the Discovery Institute, that set out a plan to substitute the teaching of evolution in schools by that of the pseudoscience of "intelligent design".

Creation science and Intelligent Design are the most well-known pseudo-sciences, and for information these please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

Is it true that an experiment is meant to prove that the hypothesis is correct?

An experiment is performed to generate more data. If the data proves to not support the hypothesis the experiment was still useful. You could reproduce your experiment to see if it is performing the way it should. After you have confirmed the experiment is performing correctly you then could devise another experiment to further test your hypothesis or accept the result and revise your hypothesis.

Enumerate 9 scientific attitudes?

  1. Beliefs. A scientist believes that everything that happens in this world has a cause or reason.
  2. Curiosity. A scientist shows interest and pays particular attentions to objects or events. He asks questions and seeks answers.
  3. Objectivity. A scientist is objective if he does not allow his feelings and biases to influence his recording of observations, interpretation of data, and formulation of conclusions.
  4. Critical-mindedness. A scientist bases suggestions and conclusions on evidences. When in doubt, he questions the veracity of a statement in relation to the evidences presented.
  5. Open-mindedness. A scientist listens to and respects the ideas of others. He accepts criticism and changes his mind if reliable evidence contrdicts his believes.
  6. Inventiveness. A scientist can generate new and original ideas.
  7. Risk-taking. A scientist expresses his opinions and tries new ideas even at the risk of failure or criticism.
  8. Intellectual honesty. A scientist gives a truthful report of observations. He does not withhold important information just to please himself or others.
  9. Humility. A scientist is humble when he admits that he is not free from commiting errors. He recognizes that there may be better ideas and realizes that there are individuals whom he may have to consult to arrive at correct observations and conclusions.
  10. Responsibility. A scientist actively participates in a task and also dutifully performs tasks assigned to him.

What variable is the part of the experiment that is affected by the independent variable that is being tested or the part that is changed by the person doing the experiment?

The variable of the experiment that is being tested or the part that is changed by the person doing the experiment is called the independent variable... Thank you for letting me answer goodbye... ;)

Why does the bread have fungi?

Bread can develop fungi if it is not stored properly or if it is exposed to moisture. Fungi spores are present in the environment and can land on bread, leading to mold growth. It is important to store bread in a cool, dry place and consume it before it goes bad to prevent fungal growth.

How does gravity affect a bottle rocket as it is ascending and descending?

As a rocket descends, gravity is pulling it down whilst drag is stopping the gravity having some of its power because without the drag the rocket would be pulled down to the ground within a matter of seconds.

I don't know how it affects it on its ascent!!

Sorry!!

What are the biggest scientific mistakes ever made?

The introduction of the cane toad to the sugar cane fields in Queensland Australia is a good one. they were suposed to get a beetle under cotrol but now they are killing native wildlife as for afield as the Northern Teritory and still spreading.

From RALFWHO:

  • Similarly, the mongoose was introduced to Hawaii to control the rat population. Now they have a mongoose AND rat problem.
  • X-RAY shoe-fitting equipment.
  • Thalidomide.
  • DDT
  • Not the biggest, but only if ask others not afflicted: anal radium treatments.

What are the independent variables in a lava in a cup experiment?

It's only an experiment if 2 or more conditions are compared. Lava in a cup is a science observation or demonstration.

To make it an experiment, you would have to compare 2 conditions, for example lava cups with salt vs. lava cups with baking soda while keeping all other variables constant.

Experiment the effect of teperature on the souring of milk?

warmer temperatures will cause the milk to sour faster because the enzymes that cause the protein breakdown into amino acids (hence the sourness) have an optimum temperature at which they work and this is usually just above body temperature. That is why milk is stored in the fridge.

How are chemical reactions different to reversable changes?

physical change is reversible because you can undo it for example: if you fold a paper you unfold the paper.

chemical chang is irreversible because if you make somthing together you could not seperate them.

Rectangular glass plate used to view samples of water or other materials?

The rectangular glass plate you are referring to is likely a microscope slide. Microscope slides are commonly used in laboratories to hold samples for viewing under a microscope. They provide a flat and transparent surface that allows light to pass through the sample for observation.

What condition in an experiment does a biologist manipulate?

In an experiment, the condition manipulated by a biologist is known as the independent variable. The condition that changes based upon how the independent variable was manipulated is known as the dependent variable.

What molecular attraction causes surface of the water to curve inside a glass?

The force of adhesion between water and glass molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between two water molecules.

This causes the surface of the water to be curved. This curved surface is called a meniscus.

What are some catchy titles for science fair project about boiling water in paper cup?

While is SOUNDS impossible, yes. you can- under the right circumstances. It requiress an exact balance between an even source of heat, and the wetting of the bag. Heat keeps the paper from getting too mushy, water keeps the paper from catching fire. This has been used for years as a Boy Scout camping entertainment. Not suggested that you try it indoors- parts of the bag above the waterline catch fire, and sometimes the bag comes apart.

Are controls always necessary in an experiment?

Yes 99.99% of the time,controls are very necessasry.If you are performing an experiment testing some variable, say (X) , you need to perform a control where everything is the same as the experiment conditions including your (X) variable your testing in the experiment. Therefore, the only difference between your control and your experiment is the variable your testing.Since the variable in your control is kept constant, you can compare the result so the experiment (where the variable was varied) and your control (where the variable was kept constant).Since all other factors in both the control and experiment were the same, you can compare your results

What ions are formed in nonmetals?

Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged ions.

Is there vegetation on Neptune?

No, Neptune is a gas giant composed primarily of hydrogen and helium with no solid surface. Its atmosphere is mainly hydrogen, helium, and methane, with no known vegetation able to survive in such extreme conditions.

What are the factors that can result in variable gram reaction?

Genetics, Age of culture, type of growth medium, and technique used could result in a gram-variable reaction

What is weismans experiment to disprove lamarckism?

August Weismann disproved, or attempt to disprove the theory of Lamarckism (which states that: the adaptive trait gained by an organism during its life time can transfer to the new generation of organism; in contrast, proponents of this theory states: changes to genes can only be done through natural selection, and the experiences of changes to an organism's genes during its life time does not transfer), by cutting off the tails of mice, for many generations to observe changes to their traits. However, after many generations, no changes to the tail lengths of mice were observed. Thus, with this experiment and many that followed it, most considered Lamarckism to be disproved. However, during recent years, Lamarckism has garnered considerable interests, as observations have shown that Lamarckism does exist. For example, the epidemics of the population whose previous generation has experienced starvation is more likely to produce children, who, for generations, is likely to have genes with higher risk of high blood pressure.

What is the name of the dye used in microscope slides?

The blue stain is called crystal violet. It can color the bacteria a blue color only if the cell wall is very thick. We then call that bacteria a Gram+ bacteria. Knowing the Gram test (+ or-) and the shape of the bacteria, we have a quick idea of what it might be. Then what antibiotic could be given gives a head start on a treatment. This can take as little as a few minutes. Further tests are usually done later on. They can take 24 to 36 hours to get a result.

Ben franklins famous kite experiment?

The kite was invented by the Chinese; Ben Franklin used the kite instead of using conductive rods to avoid danger. Ben strung up a key to the kite and the string used on the kite is kept dry to act as an insulator so that Ben will be less electrocuted while standing on the ground.

How do you convert millimetres into nanometres?

You multiply by 1 million, i.e. 1,000,000. This is because milli means 10^-3 of a metre and nano means 10^-9 of a metre. 10^-3/10^-9 gives 1,000,000.
