Why is Richard Feynman important?
Richard Feynman (1918-1988) was a famous American physicist who is known for his path integral formulation of quantum mechanics. He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965. He also helped in the development of the atom bomb and proposed the idea of nano-technology which is the creation of machines in a very small size, usually in the molecular scale.
Institutions he attended include
Thomas Young (13 June 1773 - 10 May 1829) made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony and Egyptology. Of particular note was his decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs, including the famous Rosetta Stone.
What are the Seven levels used by scientists to classify organisms?
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species
Why it is important for scientists to be skeptical?
It is important to question if one has gathered any scientific evidence or not so that they can be sure that the person is not just making something up and sharing it to the world. This is the reason that it is important to question scientific evidence.

Entomologists, which means study of insects, is in the field of biology.
What are the three things scientists use to classify a volcano?
There is no easy answer to this question, as scientists classify volcanoes in several different ways, including size, shape, explosivity, lava type, and tectonic occurrence. Furthermore, these different classifications often correlate. A volcano that has very effusive eruptions, for example, is unlikely to form a stratovolcano.
Where did max planck go to college?
== == Max Planck followed the presentation of his graduate thesis in 1880 by working as an unpaid private lecturer in Munich, Germany. He received an appointment in 1885 as an associate professor of theoretical physics at the University of Kiel. In the late 1880's, he moved to the University of Berlin, and was a full professor by 1892. He continued there in Berlin until he retired in 1926. (He did appear at Columbia University in New York City as the Ernest Kempton Adams Lecturer in Theoretical Physics in 1909. Links are provided.
What is a scientist that studies medicine?
Pathology is the study of disease processes. There are mycologists, bacteriologists, microbiologists, oncologists, and more who study specific organisms that may or may not cause disease, or specialize in specific categories.
"Pathologists" would be the best answer to this question.
How do you know the students in the above study are acting as scientist?
Students could be seen to be acting as scientist if they are following the scientific method - Make observations, postulate a hypothesis, and form and complete experiments or further observations to confirm or refute that hypothesis.
Physicist are scientists that mainly study?
Physics!
There are obviously some derivations but they study physics.
Why are scientists so concerned about endangered species today?
One of the major reasons for endangered species is habitat loss. Also, people are cutting down trees and they are polluting the lakes, rivers, ponds, and any other water you see outside. Also there has been a lot of fires and a lot of floods. Another reason is that people have been littering. People have been throwing trash on the roads and near wildlife areas. One of the major reasons for endangered species is habitat loss. The hand of man has accelerated extinction on a massive scale in the last two centuries. People traveled to islands where they had never been, bringing cats and dogs along with them. The creatures on these islands had not developed any defense against such predators. We killed others for food, thinking they were so abundant they could never be completely wiped out. But all one has to do is read the story of the passenger pigeon to see how foolish that notion was. I only pray that in the future we will learn to be better stewards of this planet and the creatures that call it home. Extinction is forever.
A scientist who studies the history of mankind?
An Anthropologist is the one who studies mankind and his development. Anthropology is the study of mankind and his developments.
What is a scientist that studies population called?
Demographers study populations of the world.
How groups of people share certain chracteristics like age or race
How can a scientist test a hypothesis if its impossible to control the experiment?
To answer a specific question, scientist form a hypothesis. If the hypothesis cannot be testable or answered, they'll give you a prediction of what will most likely happen from the results of the hypothesis.
Why are thermodynamics and kinetics important to scientists?
kinetic energy is important because it is moving energy and moving is what helps us. If we were walking, the chemical energy from food would be transferred into kinetic energy. hope i helped :)
Why is it important that a scientist's results are evaluated by other scientist?
it is important because we do not know if one scientist's results will be the same as another.
I hope I've helped=]
How did Louis Pasteurs experiments lead to new scientific understandings of germs?
Experiments with cooking food showed that disease-carrying germs in food could be killed when heated.
What is it called when a scientist makes a mistake in a experiment?
There is no special term for this. She is being careful if the mistake requires a redo.
Why is it important for all scientists to use the same system of measurements?
Scientists use the same system of measurement so they can have a universal way to interpret data. Having the same system, which is now metric, helps so that no errors are made while converting to other systems. This also saves time. Think of it like two different languages, it would be easier if there was just one universal language so no time was wasted and no errors were made while translating.
Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, and Fungi
Why do scientists consider a hypothesis valuable?
It is important to develop a scentific hypothesis that is testable because then you can make a hypothesis to your experiment to see if it is true or not. If it is not true then you will put that on your lab paper that your hypothesis is not true and you will have explain your hypothesis.
When did Isaac Newton start school?
Sir Issac Newton was educated at the Free Grammar School in Grantham in Lincolnshire and then Trinity College, Cambridge. There he obtained his Bachelors and Masters and was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in 1669.
While studying Anthropology, there are many relevant sub-categories that define the true nature of the science that is Anthropology. The field of astronomy is not only a pure science such as physics or chemistry, but it also has an anthropological aspect that theoretically explains earth's origins, the human race's evolution, and the environments in which these were created. One such man played a key role in revolutionizing thought in the late twentieth century pertaining to astronomy, evolution, and even biology. Carl E Sagan received many awards and was recognized by many people during his life. Believed by many to be the world's greatest populizer of science, with his literature, research and teachings, he reached millions of people as an author, commentator of the popular PBS television series Cosmos, and as the David Duncan Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences and director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies at Cornell University.Born November 9, 1934, Sagan received doctorates in astronomy and astrophysics from the University of Chicago in 1960. He began his career at Harvard University, but became a Full Professor at Cornell in 1971. Sagan received numerous awards throughout his career including the Pulitzer Prize, as well as several honorary degrees from American colleges and Universities. Sagan had direct influence on many space missions such as NASA's Mariner, Viking and Voyager missions, all of which involved study- of other planets within our solar system. Sagan also did pioneering research in biology and evolution, both directly related to anthropology. While studying the universe and its history, Sagan posed many theories on the origin of the earth and mankind. Sagan published over 600 papers, wrote or co-wrote more than 20 books, commentated a mini-series on PBS called Cosmos, which was the most watched television show in history, generating more than 500 million viewers in over 60 countries. Near the end of his life even co-produced a movie based on his book Contact. Yervant Terzian, chairman of Cornell's astronomy department once said after Sagan's death: "Carl was a candle in the dark. He was, quite simply, the best science educator in the world this century. He touched hundreds of millions of people and inspired young generations to pursue the sciences. He will be deeply missed by his colleagues and friends at Cornell and around the world." Sagan was the co-founder of The Planetary Society. 100,000 members strong, The Planetary Society is the largest space-interest group in the world. Along with the founding of this society, Sagan initiated a full-scale search of extraterrestrial intelligence by revolutionizing radio satellite technology. These efforts were Sagan's lifelong passion. Unfortunately there has been no response or evidence of extraterrestrial life. Sagan once said, regarding his lifelong search for life in space, "The significance of finding that there are other beings that share this universe with us would be absolutely phenomenal, it would be an epochal event in human history." Carl Sagan died on December 20, 1996 in Seattle. He was 62. Sagan touched many people during his life. He opened the eyes of many people to the unimaginable and invoked both thought and wonder to those around him. He made pivotal advances in many fields of science and inspired people around the world. Sagan was a man of many achievements and advances, but opening minds and eyes, teaching and discovering; those were his most important traits.Biography of Carl Sagan:Former link www.bluepoint.com.tr/sagan/bio.html(2007) CornellUniversity News: Former link:www.news.cornell.edu/general/Dec96/saganobit.ltb.html(2007)CNN US News: http://www.cnn.com/US/9612/20/sagan/ By Luke Haeg
