everyone thinks they know what is meant by this, and it seems clear to everyone that there have been enormous scientific advances in recent centuries

Then the scientists question the existing theory in order to propose a new one that sticks to this new reality.

And finally this new theory thus makes it possible to explain these new observations. Life goes on, until new observations appear, thanks to new measuring instruments for example. And the cycle begins again…

First, new observations of a given phenomenon are available. Existing scientific theories do not explain these observations

more precise measurements, or new techniques for investigating

Without the progress of science, education would not have experienced this leap forward and the means of communication would still be reduced to the telegraph

By extension, science and other fields would be much less advanced.

There are more and more of us on Earth and we therefore need more scientists

In his book A History of Almost Everything, Bill Bryson answers many scientific questions

He spoke of many scientists including Newton, describing him as "a decidedly strange character, brilliant beyond measure but solitary, joyless, prickly to the point of paranoia and famous for being distracted by bizarre experiments." »

His uncle will send Isaac to school, very quickly, he will reveal a very great intelligence

difficult relations with his comrades, due surely to his childhood and the abandonment of his mother, it's a loner

Not tolerating criticism, he distanced himself a little further from others by remaining alone in his corner. his enemy number one was robert hooke

his college is going to close because of the plague and it is from there that he will be most productive

Newton produced physics as we know it and described his own theory of calculus and the 3 laws of motion.

suspicious experiments like sticking a bodkin in his eye to see its effectit is partly thanks to this experience that it will improve the telescope.

His life will be animated by a rivalry against Gottfried Leibniz, revealing his true character.

a meltdown when he suspected his friends of conspiring against him

Hailey received this book in 1685, a book based on the laws of movement and which is called, hilosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.

Unable to find the calculation that had led him to this assertion, Newton promised to send it to Halley, which he did a few months later

It was in August 1684 that the English astronomer Edmond Halley went to Cambridge to discuss the problem of orbits with Newton.

Isaac Newton and one of the most famous scientists of the seventeenth century. He studied at the famous Cambridge University

it is true that the work around this book begins following a bet launched by Halley

It is therefore a bit by chance that the work begins but in no way the result at the end is a coincidence.

Principia was not written by chance, it is the result of a heavy work of great reflections

Reine Lepaute, then Marie-Jeanne Harlay Lefrançois, who carried out various calculations to help the navy

The place of women in science has progressed a lot, one of them even received a Nobel Prize

women also conducted astronomical research, collaborated in the work of astronomers, such as Jeanne Dumée, known for her book on Copernicus

Marie Curie, a scientist of Polish origin, In 1903, she won a Nobel Prize for her work in physics and will obtain a second in 1911 in chemistry

Emilie du Châtelet, who translated a work by Newton. She is one of the first women scientists to have influenced those around her and whose writings have been preserved

inequalities concerning women in the sciences are still very present

The Age of Enlightenment allowed certain women to rise to prominence and mark history.

Women still struggle to find their place in this environment.

But they had no choice, they were deprived of studying and integrating into this environment

they should not be remembered as women who help men, but as women who fought for centuries to obtain the same rights as men and who still fight today to find their place in science.

Certainly, many women are famous for having helped male scientists

One day he will be interested in the life of Chalres Darwin and will introduce "Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life"

it was after this trip that he understood that species change by adapting to their environment

His research will revolutionize the way we see the world and our place in it.

before his theory on evolution and selection,he travels around the world

the mechanism of natural selection is quite simple; For example, a species will have children and it is the strongest who will survive and maintain the population.

Charles Darwin was an English naturalist born in 1809 into a family of doctors.

but as he was known, many followed him and recognized that he was right

Charles Darwin was an English naturalist born in 1809 into a family of doctors.

Darwin will set out his theory of evolution in a book called "On the Origin of Species"

He explains in it his theory by explaining that each species comes from a small group of species and that the species were not fixed forever but can change and evolve slowly by adapting to nature.

But in the audio we listened to we learn that it was actually Patrick Mathhew who first stated the theory of evolution.

it was after this trip that he understood that species change by adapting to their environment and the theory of natural selection responsible for evolution took shape

Did Charles Darwin steal this idea from Matthew or did he really figure it all out on his own?

he was not the first to have discovered it, this honor goes to patrick matthew

on the other hand it is thanks to him that this theory was adopted

for me Carles Darwin is not the father of the theory of evolution.

Charles Elachi was born in 1947 and he was the director of JPL (Jet Propulsion laboratory) --> special center of research

after the curiosity rover landed on Mars, Charles Elachi said: “We are going to continue not only exploring Mars, but exploring the solar system and exploring the universe, because our curiosity has no limit”.

bc until we have explored space we cannot know if it was worth it or not.

if it is really useful to continue the space exploration or if it just a waste of money and human resources.?

if we keep exploring the universe maybe we will find new habitable planets or new species although it will cost a lot of money.

you should explore the universe just because you're curious

so it might be better to spend all this money and resources on more important things like for example in the fight against global warming.

The perception of a historical conflict between science and religion remains strong. But that hasn't stopped historians from condemning the idea.

It is often written that Copernicus waited until his deathbed to publish his work, for fear of death by the Inquisition. But this is not true. Copernicus was indeed reluctant to publish his work because he did not want to expose himself to derision "on account of the novelty and incomprehensibility of his theses", not for fear of religious persecution.

By the end of the 19th century, science and religion had made peace with the idea of evolution.

In the Middle Ages the church treated science as heretical, and sent its followers to the stake

Many wars have taken place between religion and science

religion constantly excluded science because it went against its theories

Science does not exclude religion but admits the existence of religion.

For most of history, science and religion have lived side by side without conflict.
