Creative Science Creates Innovation

Science Innovation
Creative processes in chemical, mechanical or biological disciplines lead to new discoveries. Science innovation is always at the forefront of scientific projects. Scientists labor over experiments to discover, intentionally or unintentionally, a better method. Each new experiment may begin with one specific path in mind. Results often lead down other paths. This is the way science innovation occurs.

Nature of Experiments
When a scientist experiments to create a new scientific breakthrough, experimentation diverts in unforeseen ways, resulting in totally different aspects than originally intended. Science, by nature of experimentation, is innovation. Advances in science occured more rapidly since the early 1900′s than at any time before. Innovation revolutionized human life in ways never before imagined. Mankind has gone from remote communication to instantaneous communication, from short life spans to creating a new generation of centenarians who still enjoy relatively good quality of life, from cave dwellers to astronauts and from childlessness as adults to parentage to an ability to discover congenital disease before birth. From petri dish to invitro fertilization to hip replacement and other body augmentation, science innovation gives mankind what it most longs for: Mankind’s dreams in a science lab with near perfect results every time.

Major Innovations in Science
Some of the most influential innovations are also the most controversial, stem cell and cloning technology, for example are highly debated in and out of scientific circles. Cryogenics, preserving the deceased in a freezing technology created experiments in saving life in drowning deaths that occur in icy water. From death to life and back again, science innovation is a far-reaching as the human scientific mind can conceive. The impact of science innovation on life expectancy is already well documented. No doubt, in the next one hundred years, life-threatening illness of today will be extinct as a result of science innovation. read more »

Science in prehistory

Posted in Science on August 2nd, 2010 by admin – Comments Off

Many prehistoric peoples had a much richer understanding of scientific principles regarding astronomy, mathematics, and medicine than many people realize!
As early as 4800 BC, there is evidence of astronomical calendar stones at the Nabta plateau in Egypt. Six megaliths were erected to mark the spot where the bright morning star Sirius rose every spring solstice. Evidence of numberals and pictographic writing in Sumerian, Proto-Elamite, and Egyptian cultures can be found that date back as early as 3000 BC.
The scientific method is also inherent in the prehistory of science. The ancient Greeks utilized a method of empiricism in order to determine scientific truths. But the first time the experimental scientific method as we know it today was used was by Muslim scientists around 1300 BC. They began using experimentation in order to test out competing scientific theories.
The ancient Egyptians must have employed similar processes, because a papyrus dated back to 1700 BC, described many head and neck injuries, as well as how to treat these injuries. This papyrus was the first known document that points to the brain as the organ which controlls the other limbs and organs of the body.
Around 2000 BC, the sacred Indian Hindu text the Rig-Veda was written, and it stated that the Earth was a globe. Another sacred Hindu text, the Yajur-Veda, describes the fact that the Earth circles the Sun.
Finally, as early as 1500 BC, Babylonian mathematicians had discovered the Pythagorean theorem. Our stereotypes about prehistoric cavemen are probably unfair; prehistoric peoples were curious about the world around them and discovered many scientific truths!
