REWRITING THE SCIENCE: EVOLUTION OF KNOWLEDGE - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

From the ancient Greek thinker Claudius Ptolemy to Stephen Hawking, we have traveled a long road of thought; from philosophy to theoretical and experimental science, with the purpose of explaining the origin of the Universe. The philosophical thought of Claudius Ptolemy referred to geocentrism, lasted more than 1,400 years; since, the philosophical answer was more immediate than the scientific proof, when there is no instrument available to demonstrate the theory. Then, we pass to the mathematical calculation of Aristarchus who is the one who reasons that the center of the Universe was not the Earth but the Sun. An idea that would be strengthened by the astronomer Johannes Kepler when Kepler observed how oranges were stacked in a fruit store and that snowflakes have a hexagonal geometric shape. Until Galileo Galilei was able to see outer space from Earth with his scientific instrument. So, we have been subjected to a series of rights and wrongs; let's say, from the errors of Reverend George Lemaître's Big Bang, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetism. However, what we observe, is that knowledge is evolving; and every day more genius children are born; therefore, we must clarify these concepts, so that the new humanity is projected towards a more precise knowledge of how the Universe was formed.
