State a brief history or discovery that brought about the invention or discovery of
the things stated below. State their contributions in our scientific development.
Gravity- Galileo observed that the force of gravity appears to depend solely on an
object's mass and not on any of its other characteristics in the early 1600s. Isaac
Newton subsequently proposed an all-encompassing inverse square rule of gravitation
between objects in 1687. Your weight acts as an attraction between you and the Earth.
An object like a rocket's "escape speed" is determined by gravity. The larger the escape
speed, the stronger the object's gravitational pull is. The escape speeds of the sun, two
planets, and the Earth's moon are depicted in the following graph.
Telescope- While the exact inventor of the telescope is unknown, it is known that a
Dutch sight manufacturer named Hans Lipperhey unveiled a novel lens-based viewing
apparatus in 1608 that brought distant things much closer. Our eyes to the cosmos
have been awakened through telescopes. Early telescopes revealed that, contrary to
popular belief, Earth is not the center of the universe. On the moon, they also displayed
mountains and craters. The geography and climate of the planets in our solar system
have been uncovered by later telescopes.
Processed Food- Processing food has been a practice since the Stone Age. We know
that fire has been used by humans for at least 250,000 years, during which time cooking
emerged as a method of food processing. Food was more palatable, digestible, and
safe for prehistoric people after it had been cooked. Processed foods provided 55% of
the dietary fiber, 48% of the calcium, 43% of the potassium, 34% of the vitamin D, 64%
of the iron, 65% of the folate, and 46% of the vitamin B-12 that was intended to be
encouraged. Processed foods contributed 57% of the energy, 52% of the saturated fat,
75% of the added sugars, and 57% of the sodium of the elements to limit.
Microscope- Scientists have gained greater understanding of the human body and
disease thanks to the creation of the microscope. It is unknown who created the first
microscope, however Zacharias Janssen, a Dutch eyeglass manufacturer born in 1585,
is credited with creating one of the early compound microscopes (those with two lenses)
around 1600. Numerous scientific doors have been unlocked by microscopes.
Microscopes have enabled scientists, researchers, and students to observe the tiniest
components of fungus, animals, and plants as well as to analyze the structure of cells.
Radio- Gugliemo Marconi, a teenage Italian inventor, created what he dubbed "the
wireless telegraph" in 1895 while conducting experiments in his parents' attic. He
transmitted Morse code using radio waves, and the device he employed is now known
as the radio. Listeners can get the most recent updates from radio broadcasts that are
available 24 hours a day and offer real-time information. Radio has the capacity to
penetrate international boundaries and can be an important information source in areas
where dependable news is hard to come by.
Benzene Ring- English scientist Michael Faraday first identified benzene in lighting gas
in 1825. Eilhardt Mitscherlich, a German chemist, heated benzoic acid with lime in 1834
to generate benzene. German scientist A.W. By separating benzene from coal tar, von
Hofmann. It was vitally important to comprehend benzene scientifically. Michael
Faraday discovered it as a liquid in compressed coal gas in 1825, and in 1856 he used
it to create mauveine, the first synthetic pigment, from aniline (aminobenzene).
Large Hadron Collider- The largest and most powerful particle collider in the world is
called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Between 1998 and 2008, it was constructed by
the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) with the assistance of more
than 10,000 scientists, hundreds of colleges and institutes, and more than 100 nations.
The LHC's purpose is to make it possible for physicists to test the hypotheses behind
various particle physics theories, such as measuring the Higgs boson's characteristics,
looking for the large family of new particles predicted by supersymmetric theories, and
exploring other unanswered issues in particle physics.
Guns- From about 1000 AD, the earliest objects classified as weapons or proto-guns
appeared in China. They had evolved into "real guns" by the end of the 13th century,
metal barreled weapons that discharged solitary bullets that blocked the barrel. During
the 14th century, gunpowder and gun technology were widely used across Eurasia. The
early guns were just tubes from which to fire explosive charges, but throughout time, the
loading, aiming, and firing processes were made simpler. The advent of firearms
transformed combat and essentially brought an end to the era of the armored knight and
the fortified castle. The history of humanity has been profoundly impacted by them.
Internet- In the 1970s, Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf created the Internet. They started the
process of creating what is now known as the "internet." It was the outcome of a
different research project known as ARPANET, or Advanced Research Projects Agency
Network. According to its definition, the internet links people to many mobile and
computer system types. An internet connection is required for all forms of idea and
information sharing and news exchange. The internet links computers, businesses,
people, government initiatives, people's lives, and stories from all around the world.
Cellphones- Engineers at AT&T created cells for mobile phone base stations in the
1940s, which led to the creation of mobile phones. The original mobile phones weren't
even truly mobile phones. They were two-way radios that made it possible for anyone to
communicate, including taxi drivers and the emergency services. Smartphones are now
a commonly utilized information source in the health sciences. In order to obtain a more
precise assessment of a person's physical activities, data from the accelerometer,
gyroscope, and magnetometer are often combined. The accelerometer is frequently
used to measure and identify physical and biological activity.
2. Determine the possible alternatives to growth and development. List down
several ways to promote sustainable living.
1. Reuse
2. Reduce
3. Recycle
4. Rehabilitation of Tourist Destination
5. Promote 0 waste parties or events
6. Donate something that you didn't use to someone who needs it
7. Put your liters in the right place
8. Live simple
9. Plant trees
10. Use eco-bags when buying something
These methods will help you and the environment as well to sustain its beauty. These
methods will also help future generations to see the beauty of nature.
Promote 0 waste when partying or in events, because most of the people didn't mind
the waste they made after the party. When this method was used by everyone, we can
help sustain the life of the environment and the beauty of it. The method that I chose not
only help us but also will teach others to be responsible and mindful of their wastes.
