What scientist first thought that everything takes the same amount of time to fall?

isaac newton. Although at the time a scientist called Robert Hooke claimed that at least a major part of Newton's principle had already been discovered by him. Newton's theory did by the way not take the 'drag' of falling objects into account, so his theory was at least flawed on that point. But in a vacuum, it works out perfectly.

Who was the scientist that said the earth was flat?

It is a common knowledge that the world is round. I never read or heard anybody teach that the world is flat.

A very very long time ago, the world once was thought to be flat. The horizon that we see now, people use to think that when you got to that point you would fall off the edge of the world. Not until boats and navigation came into fruition, the then thought "brave" explorers, set out to discover the edge of the world. It wasnt until they started sailing familiar waters that the theory of a round world came to be. Interesting huh?

How do scientists make clones?

The first step in using the polmerase chain reaction method to copy a gene is to heat a piece of DNA which separates its two strands. Then, as the DNA cools, primers bind to the single strands. Next, DNA polymerase starts copying the region between the primers. These copies can serve as templates to make still more copies.

What was Louis Pasteur's last words?

This website will answer your question. It quotes the last 4 paragraphs from 'The Life of Pasteur' by René Vallery-Radot, his son-in-law, first published in 1900. http:/wwwzperiodzratbagszperiodzcom/rsoles/comment/pasteurzperiodzhtm

Why do scientist use binomial nomenclature?

Well, binomial nomenclature actually classifies an organism by a more scientific name... But not just any name, the names are given in the latin language. It's also a name that sounds the same in every language. No, not everyone speaks latin, but if you use the phrase "Mephitis mephitis"(meaning skunk) to any scientist in the biological field, no matter what language he speaks, he will know you're talking about a skunk... and maybe he'll assume your a scientist too. (;

Basically, binomial nomenclature is simply making the scientific name of a species recognizable by all languages. That's why it's used.

Why do scientists need to conduct many attempts during an experiment to test their hypothesis?

What scientist said this quote don't disturb my circles?

State and explain postulates of bohr's theory of hydrogen atom?

An essential point of Bohr's theory of the structure of the hydrogen atom was that only particular orbits with specific orbital energies are allowed. Another essential point was that energy is only absorbed or radiated by electronic transitions between these orbits.

What was the cause of death for Ernest Rutherford?

An umbilical hernia was left unoperated on for too long. He died after the operation.

Rutherford died on October 19 1937 from a hernia. There was a delay in his operation because he was a Lord and was required to be operated on by a titled doctor (a sir) it was this delay that caused him to die.

Which scientist first measured the speed of sound and when?

As far as i know the first person to work out the speed of sound was Isaac Newton sometime in the 1600's. He worked it out from first principles. That is he worked it ot by using mathmatics and knowledge of air pressure and density. I don't know who first measured it and how.

How do scientists today figure out if two organisms are related?

The first way is if they can produce viable offspring (which must also be able to reproduce).

If one of the organisms is extinct, they compare bone structures, whether it has similar vestigial parts as the other organism.

I believe another way is by the comparison of some enzymes.

About how many different types of organisms have scientists discovered so far?

Scientists believe there are around 8.7 millions species on Earth, but this number could be off by 1.3 million either way. It is estimated there are 6.5 million land species and 2.2 species in the oceans.

What is the biography of William G. Padolina?

Max Plank discovered quantum mechanics (hail be his great name)

Mark Plank discovered that eating blue-berry muffins caused him to gain weight.

Sylvia Plank discovered that her husband was seeing another woman.

Why is it important to design experiment to test a problem in science?

Because experiments can prove your theories, and if you are not documentating the experiment properly, other scientists might think it's not valid.

Furthermore you are screwing up your theory if you don't make precise data collection, and calculation from your experiment, the theory won't be proved right.

What is the scientist who studies the atmosphere?

There are two distinct disciplines the study of gases. Aerostatics is the study of gases that are stationary or not moving. It studies density allocation. Aerodynamics is the study of gases that are in motion. People in this field study the motion of air and how it interacts with solid objects.
