In Conclusion, these three steps helped solve the Elkhorn Coral mystery. It was the human waste that was harming these corals which was causing them to die. The Scientific Method is what helped me comprehend what was harming these corals. The Scientific Method helped scientist have definite evidence that people were the source of the
For example, scientific evidence was used to explain the evolution of germs, diseases, viruses, and immunity to such things. On the other hand, historical evidence was used to explain the history of guns, domestication of animals, and evolution of civilizations and communities. Along with this evidence, Diamond also used many secondary sources such as photographs, charts, and maps. These were provided by other authors, photographers, and museums, as credited in the book. These sources not only provided a much more fascinating outlook, but an extremely compelling statement.
Wexler 's career expanded for almost six decades, starting in 1958, during this time he worked for architect Richard Neutra and alongside Rick Harrison, William Cody and Phillip Koenig. Wexler 's classic designs include El Rancho Vista Estates (1960), Alexander Steel Houses ( '62), Dinah Shore Estates ( '64), Palm Springs Airport ( '66) plus several additional houses, commercial buildings and schools.

Other scientists like Nicolas Copernicus believed in the Heliocentric Theory. At first, it didn’t explain how the planets orbits the way they did and was very hesitant to share it with others. In 1601, another scientist named Johannes Kepler proved that Copernicus idea was correct. They show that the planets rotate around the sun. Another method Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo developed was called the Scientific Method.
Finally, they really started to think hard and put all the pieces together, their experiments and others, and found out the structure. In the end, they even gave credit to the other scientists who were very important.
During the Middle Ages a Roman Astronomer named Ptolemy came up with the theory that all surrounding planets orbited around the Earth. Advancement in telescopes and technology helped Copernicus during the renaissance create a more logical and accurate theory which stated how the sun is in the middle of our universe and all planets orbited the sun. This changed the way man thought because it realized how small Earth is compared to the rest of the solar system and how we may not be
Weatherford states that most of the “great discoveries” that Columbus proved were already known. “Columbus did not prove that the world was round; educated people had known that for centuries.” Jack Weatherford believes we
Galileo was an Italian scientist that built many theories about astronomy. One of Galileo's theories encourage the belief of the heliocentric theory which states that the earth in the center of the universe. This statement goes against what the Catholic Church had to say. The Church believed in the geocentric theory is the correct way on how the earth was formed. This caused havoc in
By using his eyes, Galileo confirmed the heliocentric theory and created his own in reply: the Copernican theory. His theory stated that the sun was at the center of the universe, with the earth and other planets rotating around it in elliptical paths and at uniform speeds. Copernicus had used Bacon’s implications that “seeing is believing.” He also theorized that the other planets were made of substances similar to those found on earth. These two ideas even furthered the notion that humans were not special to God because they inhabited an earth that looked like all the other planets.
In fact, I have in my cabin a replica of the earth made of parchment and skin that is patterned after the globe or sphere that the German, Behamin, made. In my readings I have learned that the early Greek, Crotes, two hundred and seventy years before the time of Christ had fashioned a globe of the earth and was well aware of the size of this earth of ours and where the different continents float. In fact, my son, I have also in my cabin an early Byzantine coin showing an image of the Christ child who holds in his hand a globe with a cross placed above it, indicating that the Christ oversees this round world of ours. In all of my reading and in the books of science there is one inescapable conclusion.” He shifted to lean closer to Pedro.
Many ideas led him to believe what he believed. One of them was, James Hutton’s ideas about geological change. His theory consisted that sediments, rocks, soil, etc were made after the great flood and new species “rose” from that disaster and that it’s a cycle. Charles Lyell’s theory also shaped his thinking. Lyell wrote the book of “Principles of Geology”, where Hutton became famous.
Newton is best known for his contribution to physics, however the list goes on. He developed three laws of motion: the law of inertia. the law of acceleration, and the law of action. Along with his laws of motion, comes with his idea that there is a universal gravitation among the earth. Also, he developed a theory that the earth was more a spherical object with more of a flattened surface at each of its poles.
