This book was released on 1903 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the life and labours of Galileo is pregnant with a peculiar interest to the general reader, as well as to the philosopher. His brilliant discoveries, the man of science regards as his peculiar property; the means by which they were made, and the development of his intellectual character, belong to the logician and to the philosopher; but the triumphs and the reverses of his eventful life must be claimed for our common nature, as a source of more than ordinary instruction. The lengthened career which Providence assigned to Galileo was filled up throughout its rugged outline with events even of dramatic interest. But though it was emblazoned with achievements of transcendent magnitude, yet his noblest discoveries were the derision of his contemporaries, and were even denounced as crimes which merited the vengeance of Heaven. Though he was the idol of his friends, and the favoured companion of princes, yet he afterwards became the victim of persecution, and spent some of his last hours within the walls of a prison; and though the Almighty granted him, as it were, a new sight to descry unknown worlds in the obscurity of space, yet the eyes which were allowed to witness such wonders, were themselves doomed to be closed in darkness.

This book was released on 2023-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Martyrs of Science" is a historical paintings written by means of David Brewster, a Scottish physicist and inventor, within the nineteenth century. The book presents a compelling account of the lives and contributions of exquisite scientists who confronted adversity and persecution within the pursuit of their discoveries. Brewster's paintings focuses on the demanding situations and sacrifices persisted through these "martyrs" of technology, individuals who frequently encountered resistance from religious authorities, societal norms, and political institutions. The book highlights figures like Galileo Galilei, who clashed with the Catholic Church over his heliocentric model of the solar system, and Michael Servetus, a pioneer within the subject of anatomy who was performed for his unorthodox religious beliefs. Through engaging narratives and historical bills, Brewster underscores the significance of clinical inquiry and the courage it regularly requires to project prevailing dogmas. "The Martyrs of Science" serves as a tribute to individuals who risked their livelihoods or even their lives to enhance human expertise and understanding. Overall, David Brewster's paintings gives readers a profound appreciation for the determination and fortitude of these clinical pioneers, losing mild on their struggles and the enduring impact in their contributions to the progress of technological know-how and human civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although in these days, when Science constitutes the power and wealth of nations, and encircles the domestic hearth with its most substantial comforts, there is no risk of its votaries being either persecuted or neglected, yet the countenance of those to whom Providence has given rank and station will ever be one of the most powerful incitements to scientific enterprise, as well as one of its most legitimate rewards. Next to the satisfaction of cultivating Science, and thus laying up the only earthly treasure which we can carry along with us into a better state, is that of having encouraged and assisted others in the same beneficent labors. Sir David Brewster

Galileo announces his Discoveries in Enigmas.?Discovers the Crescent of Venus; the Ring of Saturn; the Spots on the Sun.?Similar Observations made in England by Harriot.?Claims of Fabricius and Scheiner to the Discovery of the Solar Spots.?Galileo's Letters toVelser on the Claims of Scheiner.?His Residence at the Villa of Salviati.? Composes his Work on Floating Bodies, which involve him in new Controversies. The great success which attended the first tele- scopic observations of Galileo induced him to apply his best instruments to the other planets of our system. The attempts which had been made to deprive him of the honour of some of his discover- ies, combined, probably, with a desire to repeat his observations with better telescopes, led him to announce his discoveries under the veil of an enigma, and to invite astronomers to declare, within a given time, if they had observed any new phenomena in the heavens. Before the close of 1610 Galileo excited the curiosity of astronomers by the publication of his first enigma. Kepler and others tried in vain to decipher it; but, in consequence of the Emperor Rodolph requesting a solution of the puzzle, Galileo sent him the following clew: Altissimam planetam tergeminam observavi. I have observed that the most remote planet is triple. In explaining more fully the nature of his observation, Galileo remarked that Saturn was not a single star, but three together, nearly touching one another. He described them as having no relative motion, and as having the form of three o's, namely, oOo, the central one being larger than those on each side of it. Although Galileo had announced that nothing new appeared in the other planets, yet he soon communicated to the world another discovery of no slight interest. ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The compelling story of leading physicists in Germany—including Peter Debye, Max Planck, and Werner Heisenberg—and how they accommodated themselves to working within the Nazi state in the 1930s and ’40s. After World War II, most scientists in Germany maintained that they had been apolitical or actively resisted the Nazi regime, but the true story is much more complicated. In Serving the Reich, Philip Ball takes a fresh look at that controversial history, contrasting the career of Peter Debye, director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics in Berlin, with those of two other leading physicists in Germany during the Third Reich: Max Planck, the elder statesman of physics after whom Germany’s premier scientific society is now named, and Werner Heisenberg, who succeeded Debye as director of the institute when it became focused on the development of nuclear power and weapons. Mixing history, science, and biography, Ball’s gripping exploration of the lives of scientists under Nazism offers a powerful portrait of moral choice and personal responsibility, as scientists navigated “the grey zone between complicity and resistance.” Ball’s account of the different choices these three men and their colleagues made shows how there can be no clear-cut answers or judgment of their conduct. Yet, despite these ambiguities, Ball makes it undeniable that the German scientific establishment as a whole mounted no serious resistance to the Nazis, and in many ways acted as a willing instrument of the state. Serving the Reich considers what this problematic history can tell us about the relationship between science and politics today. Ultimately, Ball argues, a determination to present science as an abstract inquiry into nature that is “above politics” can leave science and scientists dangerously compromised and vulnerable to political manipulation.
