INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

  • Emilie Au Chatelet- translated Newton's principle
  • Caroline Herchel- discovered 8 comets
  • Ellen Richards- called "te christening of New Science"

NINETEENTH CENTURY

  • Mary Firefox Somrville- experiment in magnetism
  • Lady Lovalace- credited of writing in computer program.

PROGRESS IN GEOLOGY IN 20TH CENTURY

Alfred Wegener- theory of continental drift
Roert S. Dietz and Harry S. Hess- proposed the hypothesis of seafloor spreading
S.K. Runcorn- suggested the concept of paleomagnet

PROGRESS IN CHEMISTRY

Chemistry- science of the nature of matter and its transformation it is also the science of matter that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and the transformation that they undergo.

BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY:
  1. Organic Chem.
  2. Inorganic chemistry
  3. biochemical
  4. electrochemistry
  5. geochemistry
  6. anaytical chemistry

DISCOVERIES:

PROGRESS IN ASTRONOMY

The 20th century has been a remarkable perid astronomers with no signs that they have stopped fascinating new discoveries .

ASTRONOMERS

  1. Henry noriss Russel- thought that all stars are going trough life cycle of birth.
  2. Harlow Shapley-used variable stars as a yardsticks
  3. Edwin Powell Huble- showed the same nebulars faint cloudy spot
  4. Hans Bethe- proposed the existence of series of nuclear reaction

Radio astronomy- new field of science

radio signals- received from distant stars

radio waves- type of electromagnetic reaction

spectroscope- revealed the nature of gasses existing in the sun.

UNIVERSAL ADVANCE I SCIENCE IN THE 20TH CENTURY

In 20th century, technology developed rapidly, communication technology, broad teaching and implementaion if scientific method and increase research spending all contributed to the advancement of modern science and technology.
