Q

wat had newton ontdekt over de aarde

A

als je een cannon op een berg zette, en een bal schoot met genoeg kracht, zou het niet hard genoeg op de grond vallen en dus een rondje om de aarde maken. als je de luchtwrijving weg zou halen zou het helemaal voor altijd doorgaan -> objects attract each other!!
the pulling force of the earth on the cannonball was immensely larger than the other way around

A
  • biased by peoples convictions
  • particular attention to deviating observations
  • even when observations are right, they do not result in useful knowledge unless combined with reasoning and understanding
  • recommends putting observations together to form a firmer basis by a tougher coupling between observations and reasoning

Q

Bacon: no one should go beyond the experiments mechanics set up to solve practical problems and clarifying experiments for experimenta lucifera

  4. literacy
  5. knowledge about the world
85
Q

wat gebeurde er met careers in de scientific revolution
