Important Scientific Breakthroughs throughout the Ages
Scientific breakthroughs are an important part of human history. These discoveries changed the way we see the world, and in many cases, also led to further scientific discoveries. Scientific breakthroughs are not necessarily small incremental steps forward. They can be as earth-shattering as the discovery of gravity or other concepts that fundamentally alter how we view our world. Some breakthroughs might seem obvious in hindsight, whereas others are so radical they take time for society to fully grasp their implications. In our articles we take a look at some of the most groundbreaking to date!Einstein’s Equation, E = mc^2 1905
Albert Einstein’s famous equation may be one of the most famous formulas of all time, but its importance is often misunderstood. It’s not just a cool mathematical trick, but also a critical insight into how the universe works. Dedicated to…
2735The Law of Falling Bodies 1604
FallingObjects, according to the laws of motion formulated by newton in his Principia, accelerate until they reach a point when their rate of acceleration is zero and they move in a straight line until hitting something. The reality is rather…
2668The Phenomenon of Electromagnetism 1807 - 1873
Electromagnetism is the phenomenon where electric current and magnetic fields are linked. Electric currents, for example, induce magnetic fields. The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the electric field strength. In other words,…
2290The Quantum Leap 1900 - 1935
In 1900, the world was almost unrecognizable from the one just 50 years before. Britain had become a world leader in science, industrialization, and colonial expansion. Science, technology, and philosophy developed at an astonishing rate with…
2232The Second Law of Thermodynamics
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system always increases or stays the same, it doesn’t decrease. Entropy is a measure of disorder in a system, and what this means is that everything we can see and touch around us…
2493Gunpowder was a Technological Breakthrough in Warfare
Gunpowder, also known as black powder, is an explosive mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate). It was the first chemical explosive that could be reliably detonated. Before gunpowder, explosives were unreliable or used as…
2339The Breakthrough and Invention of Steel
Steel is one of the strongest and most versatile metals available. It’s been used for thousands of years to make tools and weapons, but production methods were often very limited in their scope. Although the origins of steel have been debated…
1797The Invention of the Silicon chip
A silicon chip is a semiconductor device that can be used to store information, process data, and monitor performance. These chips are used in almost every electrical device and system in modern homes, workplaces, and factories. The use of…
2060The Invention of the Telegraph
In the 19th century, many new inventions were created to make life easier. Inventors were coming up with all kinds of things such as light bulbs, telephones, and even cars. These types of inventions are called “The Industrial Revolution”…
1940The Origins of The Compass
The compass is one of the most useful tools that we have in our arsenal when it comes to navigation or exploration. In general, a compass is an instrument with the ability to detect magnetic fields and directions. It can point north, as well as…
