What famous scientist was a technician?
Michael Faraday started off as a research assistant/technician
How much is the Albert Einstein 8 cent stamp worth?
This stamp is a common regular issue stamp.
Mint or used in fine condition, it retails for about 20 cents.
When did Nikola Tesla invent the electric motor?
In May 1885, George Westinghouse, head of the Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh, bought the patent rights to Tesla's polyphase system of alternating-current dynamos, transformers, and motors.
When did Galen of Pergamum die?
Well, depending on which sources you believe, he died in 199 or 217. The second date is based on Arabic sources and is more commonly accepted.
What are the six skills necessary to think like a scientist?
While I am sure that some sociological discussion of scientists has led someone to produce a list of traits or skills that a scientist must have, there is certainly no fixed and reliable list where you can enumerate skills.
There is perhaps one skill that would be broadly agreed upon and that is a skill in critical thinking. By critical thinking, one means essentially being sure of what you know and being able to put together the reliable implications of what you know, while recognizing that there are potentially relevant factors that you may not know.
Wikipedia has a nice entry on critical thinking.
And, one last comment, critical thinking may be required of a scientist but it is not limited to scientists. Presumably this is a valuable skill for anyone.
On the basis of his studies with photosynthetic bacteria, van Niel proposed that the oxygen which plants produce during photosynthesis is derived from water, not from carbon dioxide. In the following years, this hypothesis has proven true. Van Niel's brilliant insight was a major contribution to our modern understanding of photosynthesis
What kind of scientist is Margaret mead?
Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist. Her book has come under fire because she did not live with the people she studied and was lied to by them.
Can scientists make new elements in the future?
definitely our future scientists will invent more and more new elements which r very useful for mankind. Why cant it may be out of earth..! It may be from moon or some other alliean planet.
How do scientists get information?
Scientists get information from research, observations, experiments, and other scientists.
How are computers used in scientific investigations?
Computers help scientists share data and ideas with each other and publish reports about their research
What do forensic scientists have to wear at a crime scene?
a forensic scientist wears ; gloves, all in one, mouth mask, goggles and also plastic shoes they wear these to prevent contamination of evidence and also to stop any chemicals getting in your system or on your skin.
How did descartes explain scientific inquiry?
Scientific inquiry is aimed at being as objective as possible in order to reduce bias. Rene Descartes was famous for establishing the guiding principles of scientific method in his book "Discourse on Method". The main goal of scientific inquiry is to obtain knowledge through a systematic approach of testing, observing, and measuring hypotheses, so that one can predict the results of future experiments.
Did other scientists accept Edwin Hubble's theory quickly?
The Shapely-Curtis debate over the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and the universe occurred in 1920, laying the groundwork for Hubble's discoveries later on that decade. The evidence Hubble gathered using the 100 inch Hooker telescope pretty firmly established Curtis as the winner of this debate. His research was easily confirmed by other astronomers, and thus most were quickly persuaded. Hubble's results dovetailed with other areas of science, such as Einstein's General Relativity.
In what ways do scientists use rely on mathematics in their work?
Scientist's rely on mathematics quite a lot on occasional topics when they have to measure large or tiny number's. For example as you can tell, measuring a cell would be very hard to do and you will obviously have a lot of numbers to deal with. Or if you're measuring distances from Earth to Pluto in meters that would have many many numbers.
if you said the distance between here and Pluto in meters were 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 meters away, you could just say 1x1023(not saying that actually is the distance).
hope i helped you =]
How did later scientists think the sun made energy?
Later scientists, particularly in the 20th century, discovered that the Sun produces energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its core. This process involves the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing massive amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.
Why might scientists find Corot-7b interesting?
maybe because they have found more than 300 planets outside our solar system. But they all have been gas balls or can't be proven to be solid. Now a team of European astronomers has confirmed the first rocky extrasolar planet. so i think they think that it is interesting that it is the first rocky extrasolar planet.
What do scientists use to break up the suns light into spectrum?
Scientists use a prism or a diffraction grating to break up the sun's light into a spectrum. These tools can separate light into its component colors, allowing scientists to study the different wavelengths present in sunlight.
Who is the youngest living famous scientist?
It's difficult to pinpoint the absolute youngest, but Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, a theoretical physicist, has gained recognition for her work in quantum gravity and high energy physics at a young age.
Why is Nikola Tesla forgotten?
