Who first coined the word satellite?
Satellite comes via French satellite from Latin satelles 'attendant,escort', which itself probably went back to Etruscan satnal. Its use for a 'body orbiting a planet' is first recorded in English in 1665, and comes from the astronomer Johannes Kepler's application of Latin satelles to the moons of Jupiter.
Finding a Paleozoic fossil would change our thinking completely, we would have to rethink the entire evolution of animals and the conditions on Earth all the way back to and including the Paleozoic. That is 500 million years of geologic history to rewrite.
Why did mercuric oxide in lavoisier's reaction chamber weight more than the mercury metal?
The air surrounding said mercury metal was absorbed into the mercury at the higher temperatures, therefore causing the new substance--mercuric oxide--to weigh more.
psychological method
Why is honesty important in a scientist when the results of an experiment go against predictions?
Because they need to be hoonest about all there work.
Redi and Pasteur helped to disprove spontaneous generation.
What do scientists draw after they get their research?
Using the scientific method, a scientist may draw a conclusion, part of a conclusion or draw up a new question after they complete their research.
What did Andrew Ure do with Professor Jeffray on 4th of November 1818?
On this day in 1818:
The murderer Matthew Clydesdale was executed by hanging. His body was taken to the anatomy theatre at the Old College in High Street, where Dr Andrew Ure of Anderson's Institution and James Jeffray, Professor of Anatomy at the University, conducted a series of experiments using a galvanic battery, passing an electric current through the corpse. The resulting spasms and convulsions reportedly caused consternation among the attending students, and "several... were forced to leave the apartment from terror or sickness, and one gentleman fainted". The experiment gave rise to a persistent rumour that the professors had attempted to bring the corpse back to life.
This was one of the last occasions on which the corpse of an executed criminal was sent for dissection in Scotland.

Who are some Indian scientist of 21st century and their contribution to Indian science?
Prof. Dr. Dwijesh Kumar Dutta Majumdar.
Professor D.Dutta Majumder as is well known internationally for his pioneering contributions in computers' Memory Systems, its Intelligent Recognition & understanding of Non-numerical Information &Patterns/speech/Speaker/Language/2D & 3D images along with concepts, Tools, Theories, Algorithms for real-life applications also made some fundamental contributions with new approaches that made impacts in Science, Technology and Society. Some of these are (a) Fuzzy and other Soft computing approaches to Pattern Recognition and Control System Designs, (b) A mathematical theory of Shape Analysis including occluded ones, (c) A unified Cybernetics and General Systems theory with Applications to Decision Making in Man-Machine Systems such as in a Medical Technology for diagnostics & Therapeutics, (d) A Mathematical Model for Auto Regression of Cancer Suggesting a new paradigm for treatment, (e) Modeling of complex evolutionary bio-cybernetic phenomena Carcinogenesis, and natural evolutionary phenomena like Cyclogenesis made substantial.
It is well known in the world community of Computer Science and Information
Technology that Prof.D.Dutta Majumder was not only the key player in installing the first Working Digital Computers in India at the ISI, Calcutta viz.HEC-2M built at the University of London, and then URAL-1 FROM THE THEN Soviet Union, in the late 50′s but also he was the keyman in the design, development and fabrication of an indigenous Second Generation Digital Computer System known as ISI-JU-1, based on Magnetic Memory Systems along with a highly innovative automatic Track Switching Mechanism which was published in the then famous Journal Electronics Engineering, U.K., (1) in 1958 for which he received some money from the journal and also published a series of Papers in the Indian journal of Physics all in sixties, for all these he received the Prestigious Sir.J.C.Bose Memorial Award in 1969 (1-9), (14, 18, 20, 23). His contribution in the "Digital Computer Memory technology" was well documented in the book which was jointly published by Wiley Eastern, India, & John Wiley & Sons, New York, and was acclaimed by the Reviewers in USA & U. K.as "only publication in the World Market covering entire Computer Memory Technology in one cover.
