Study Notes
Aristotle and Galileo
- Aristotle proposed that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones; this belief lasted for nearly 2000 years.
- Galileo Galilei challenged Aristotle's idea in the 16th century by conducting experiments.
- He dropped two objects of different masses from a tower; both lands simultaneously, disproving Aristotle's theory.
Limitations of Scientific Knowledge
- While scientific knowledge has advanced understanding of the natural world, it has limitations.
- Many unanswered questions persist, such as the existence of life on other planets and the complete cure for cancer.
- Personal values and ethics present challenges that cannot be resolved through scientific knowledge alone, e.g., the ethics of nuclear power or animal testing.
Role of Science in Society
- Scientific achievements improve quality of life, exemplified by advancements in drug discovery for diseases caused by microorganisms.
- Examples of modern technological advancements include biotechnology, nanotechnology, wireless communication, and robotics.
STEM Education
- STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education is gaining traction, focusing on problem-solving skills.
- Integrates knowledge across fields to address real-world issues, as seen in strategies to combat COVID-19.
