Rene Descartes helped form the early ideas of psychology, before psychology was an established field. His most important contribution to modern psychology is probably the idea of the mind and body being separate entities, which has major implications for why and how we experience emotions.

The fictional Copernicus in the Jane Blonde series didn't go to prison but in the last book Janey went time-travelling and changed time so he didn't become an evil genius and was just a normal Uncle to Janey. Sorry if your talking about the real scientist Copernicus, I don't know much about him. However I do know he discovered the sun.

Was Louis Pasteur the greatest scientist?

This is very difficult to answer. He WAS a great scientist, but there were many other scientists who provided other good knowledge in different areas of the science. So maybe it's better not to hierarchize the greatness of scientists since this is only a question of opinions.

Why is mathematics important to scientists?

Mathematics is the language of physics, and all the sciences are branches of physics. So if we are to explain, describe, or understand anything in our universe, we must use mathematics in one form or another to come to that understanding.

What were the names of the two atomic bombs that Albert Einstein made?

Einstein did not personally make any atomic bombs, nor was he particularly involved in the Manhattan Project. (He couldn't obtain the necessary security clearance. and scientists in the project were actually forbidden from consulting with him about it.)

The names of the first two bombs were "the gadget" and "Little Boy." The gadget was the one used in the Trinity test firing, and was a test of the design used for the third bomb, "Fat Man" (Little Boy was considered a simple enough design to not need a test firing, but the gadget and Fat Man were more complicated.)

Rene Descartes used reason with certainty to disprove God's existence?

In Discourse on Method it would seem that he indeed does disprove God's existence only to hastily come up with an excuse as to how, despite all the evidence previously provided, that God actually exists. The logical leap to get there as you might find isn't terribly convincing, but convincing enough for the clergy at the time as he was never reprimanded for the work. If you doubt that he disproved God, consider his epitaph: "He who hides well lives well." For someone using reason to disproves God's existence in the time that he lived, this seems especially apt.

What was Frederick J vine hypothesis?

The theory is actually called the Vine-Matthews-Morley hypothesis, It is also known as the Morley-Vine-Matthews hypothesis.

Independent of each other, geophysicist Frederick John Vine and Canadian geologist Lawrence W. Morley introduced the first scientific test of the seafloor spreading theory of continental drift and plate tectonics. The hypothesis stated that if the seafloor spreading theory was correct, rocks surrounding mid-oceanic ridges would show symmetric patterns of magnetization reversals captured in cooling volcanic rocks.

Morley attempted to get his findings published in February and April of 1963, but was rejected. Vine and his advisor, Drummond Hoyle Matthews, published in 1963. Verification of the theory was found in later geomagnetic surveys.

Why are the standardized units of measure important to scientists?

The base SI units: length (meters), mass (kilogram), time (seconds), luminosity (candella), current (amperes), amount (moles), temperature (Kelvin)

Which scientist prove that luminiferous ether does not exist?

Even after the null result of the Michelson-Morley experimient the existence of luminerferous ether continued to be taken for granted by expert consensus until the 1905 publication of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity. Special Relativity did not disprove the existence of the ether (scientific proof is, in principle, not possible). What it did do was show that the ether was not necessary to explain any known property of nature. Being redundant and lacking utility the ether was therefore gradually dropped as a topic of study and discussion.

What would you do to organize your data?

What are the responsibilities of a coroner?

It depends on the county (or the specific duties of the coroner may be set by the state).

The most general duty of a coroner is to confirm and document the death of an individual.

As Coroner, I must aver, I thoroughly examined her, and she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead.

In some locations the coroner is a physician and may personally perform examinations to determine the cause of death (especially in cases where foul play is suspected). In other locations the coroner may be a layperson with no medical training who simply officially records that a death has occurred; in these cases if an examination of the body is required the coroner would not do so themselves, but would request an examination from a medical professional. Depending on the county/state, the coroner may be elected, appointed, or may simply hold the position by virtue of holding some other office (for example, the county sheriff might be designated to perform the duties of the coroner as well).

How did Rene Descartes impact the Age of Enlightenment?
