Asked by Anonymous

Nikola Tesla was a famous inventor and made many contributions to modern technology some far in advance such as his wireless-power system which would have played hob with Radio and TV reception ( he predicted TV by the way). Tesla was something of an eccentric, as are many inventors and definitely a publicity hound but not known to be an occult practitioner. Science and occultism do not mix.

What might scientist study to find out about the end of Maya civilization?

Asked by Anonymous

Archaeological remains, primarily, but specific aspects may need other skills in, for example, such as biology. Also historical records left by the Spanish who were the first Europeans to arrive in the region, though their accounts would have to be treated with due caution.

Is a scientist who gets the same results every time but does not match the known value accurate or precise?

Asked by Anonymous

He/she is precise.

--Answer-- Assuming that the "known value" is actually correct, then this scientist is likely performing the experiment/observation wrongly (and as the saying goes if you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting what you've been getting). Wrongly here may mean that the equipment is not correct or is not correctly calibrated, or that the quantities are not correct.

Do scientists design maps to list events over time?

Asked by Anonymous

Yes, scientist design maps to list events over time. This is done by light cones. Even three dimensional space model is difficult to understand then how do they represent four dimensional space? This is done by taking light distance on one axis and time on the other while the rest were just assumed. As time increases,light increases as a cone called light cone. The entire universe or events with reference to that light cone are divided as those in that light cone and those that come under light cone or effected by light cone and those that are not effected by the light cone. this is very hard to understand but easy once you find its root. Let us take an example of sun dying out. This event can viewed as a point and then the light rays of the dying sun would spread as a cone. Those events that happened before this event cannot be effected by this event. Those events that are not effected eventhough they are in the future are outside the light cone and those that are effected by the sun dying out like the earth comes under light cone. It can viewed like this- eventhough earth is effected, it will not get immediate effect until it enters the light cone i.e., it will take 8 min for the sun's rays to reach earth. During this period the earth would be outside the lightcone and will not be effected by that event but once it enters the lightcone i.e., while we see the event we would sure get effected by that event. Thus scientist map events as infinite light cones and some cones may intersect affecting each other. But what ever it may be it certainly divides the events in the past and present and future events that are affected by that event.

Scientists

Are all scientists atheists?

Asked by Anonymous

No, historically many scientists have been strongly religious; nowadays more scientists tend to be atheists than the general public and it also seems likely that the more senior the scientist, the more likely they are to be atheist.

There are scientists who are religious and try to contort science to prove their religious beliefs. On the other hand, there are scientists who are religious and understand perfectly that religion and science are completely separate and distinct.

In the world of science, those within it are all unique individuals, just like the rest of the world. So one way of believing or thinking anything can't be assumed.
