This unit examines the explosion of scientific knowledge and reasoning in the 15th and 16th centuries that laid the foundation for the development of the modern world. After the return of Columbus in 1493 with reports of a “New World” unknown to the ancients, and the shattering of the Catholic consensus by Martin Luther in 1517, the announcement by Copernicus on his deathbed in 1543 that the universe was not centered around the earth was the third and most unsettling blow to more than a thousand years of traditional wisdom. These new developments nourished an air of skeptical inquiry spread far and wide by the printing press. The primary method for understanding the world slowly shifted from simply accepting ancient authority and traditional teachings, to observation, measurement and analysis. Both Chapter 15 and the readings from “The Science of Liberty” demonstrate the profound social and political impacts of this new way of thinking.

HIST 100x - Unit 2
The document discusses the origins of modernity and examines whether the Renaissance and Reformation periods can be considered the beginning of the modern world. It explores ideas like invented traditions, the role of the individual during the Renaissance, and the rise of humanism as opposed to divine law during the Middle Ages. Big pictures trends in population, energy use, and living standards over the past 250,000 years are presented. The concept of the Anthropocene, or Age of Man, is introduced to describe the unprecedented changes caused by human civilization in recent centuries.
Unit 3 The First Mass Media Revolution
The document discusses the impact of communication technologies like writing, paper, and the printing press on society. It notes that writing was considered more important than battles or constitutions. The printing press in particular is credited with having a major social and political impact by enabling the spread of ideas. Martin Luther used the printing press to disseminate his writings and translations of the Bible, which helped drive the Protestant Reformation forward. His writings questioned established authorities and gave individual freedom of conscience.
Big History
This document summarizes several sources related to big history and the development of civilization. It discusses how early humans shared information through oral traditions and innovations like the printing press. It also summarizes Spencer Wells' work tracing human migration patterns out of Africa using genetic markers in DNA. The document then summarizes sources on natural disasters like the Krakatoa volcano eruption in 535 CE that caused global climate change and civilization collapses. Finally, it summarizes theories from Guns, Germs and Steel about how geographic factors contributed to European dominance and discussions of the role of trade, particularly the search for spices, in motivating European exploration like Columbus' voyages.
Big Bang, Hydroplate Theory - Fred Williams
This document provides a summary of the latest ideas in creation science by Fred Williams. It discusses evidence that contradicts evolutionary theories, such as findings of biological material and proteins in dinosaur fossils, massive mature galaxies found in the early universe, and anomalies in the cosmic microwave background radiation that do not align with the big bang theory. The document also presents biblical passages related to creation and predictions from creation scientists that have been later confirmed by discoveries, such as the finding of living organisms in Lake Vostok in Antarctica.
Week 7: Politics and culture in the fin de siècle
Week 7 focused on cultural shifts in fin de siècle Europe. Established traditions and norms were increasingly challenged as urban growth led to new experiences and anxieties. Views of human nature as changeable and volatile ruled by urges rather than just reason grew. An interconnected world emerged through technology and inventions capturing this period of economic and technological optimism. Urban public spaces like boulevards and new structures like department stores brought both excitement and alienation as modern life accelerated.
The Solar System
The document discusses our evolving understanding of the solar system. It describes how the Ptolemaic theory that the Earth was the center of the universe was disproven by Copernicus' theory that the sun is at the center. While we once believed there were nine planets, Pluto is now defined as not meeting the criteria to be classified as a planet. The moon landing in 1969 marked a pivotal moment that advanced technology and space exploration, demonstrating what is possible through determination and hard work.
The Toltecs and the Aztecs
The document provides information about the Toltecs and Aztecs, two Mesoamerican civilizations. It describes the Toltecs who inhabited the city of Tula from the 9th to 12th centuries AD and were known for their deity Quetzalcoatl. It then discusses the later Aztec civilization that rose in the 14th century and was centered around their massive capital city of Tenochtitlan, located in modern-day Mexico City. Numerous works of Aztec art and architecture are depicted, including sculptures, vessels, and structures. The document concludes with the Spanish conquest led by Hernán Cortés that brought an end to the Aztec Empire in 1521.
CA 3.05 Copernican Revolution
Nicholas Copernicus proposed a revolutionary heliocentric model of the solar system where the Sun, not the Earth, was at the center. In 1543, just before his death for fear of persecution, Copernicus published his book "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres" which put forth his heliocentric theory. Though it contradicted the widely accepted geocentric model of Aristotle and Ptolemy, Copernicus' proposal that the planets revolved around the Sun was a major breakthrough, though not fully accepted until improved upon later.

Thescientificrevolution 111214151221-phpapp02
The document provides an overview of key figures and developments during the Scientific Revolution. It introduces concepts like paradigm shift and discusses thinkers like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model that shifted the paradigm from Ptolemy's geocentric view but faced resistance. Kepler furthered the shift by discovering planets orbit in ellipses rather than circles. Galileo provided evidence for Copernicus through astronomical observations but was tried by the Inquisition. Descartes employed systematic doubt and rationalism, concluding "I think therefore I am." Newton later synthesized previous findings by formulating mathematical laws of motion and universal gravitation through his work Principia.

Historical Development of Theories on regards to the Origin of the Universe a...MarkNicholzSimporios
The document discusses several theories on the origin of the universe and the solar system. The leading theory on the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory, which proposes that the universe began as a singularity that expanded over billions of years. Alternative theories included the Steady State theory and the Pulsating Universe theory. Regarding the origin of the solar system, early theories included the Vortex theory and Nebular Hypothesis. Later, Laplace expanded on the Nebular Hypothesis in his Nebular Theory. Additional theories examined the chemical composition of meteorites and proposed models like the Solar Nebular Disk Model.Speed of light [2 of 4] Concepts in renaissance
1) In the Renaissance, most philosophers including René Descartes and Johannes Kepler believed that the speed of light was infinite.
2) Christiaan Huygens and Robert Hooke proposed the wave theory of light, which implied that light must travel at a finite speed through a medium.
3) Galileo Galilei was skeptical of the infinite speed theory and tried an experiment to measure the speed of light using lanterns on hilltops 1 mile apart, but the speed was too fast to measure with the crude instruments of the time.
Chapter 2.pptx
1. The document discusses several intellectual revolutions that defined society, including the Scientific Revolution, Copernican Revolution, and Darwinian Revolution.
2. During the Scientific Revolution, thinkers began challenging Aristotle's theories and relying more on experimentation, leading to new theories of science. Copernicus proposed that the sun, not Earth, was the center of the solar system.
3. Galileo and Kepler further developed the heliocentric model through observations with telescopes. Newton later formulated laws of motion and gravity, cementing the new scientific worldview.
4. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection completed the revolution in biology by providing a natural explanation for the diversity of life without invoking supernatural causes.
Space Exploration
The document discusses the history and arguments for and against space exploration. It outlines the key events in space exploration history from Sputnik 1 to the first moon landing. Both the dangers and high costs of space travel are presented as counter arguments, while supporting arguments note the technological benefits and spin-offs, curiosity of humankind, and new opportunities space exploration provides. The conclusion recommends that future space systems focus on reducing costs and improving safety, and developing useful technologies to benefit people.
6. the fine tuned universe
This document discusses the fine-tuned universe theory, which argues that the universe appears carefully designed to support life. It outlines several factors that must be precisely tuned for life, such as the organization of matter into atoms and precise mass relationships between subatomic particles. The document also reviews ideas about the origin of the universe, such as the Big Bang theory and biblical creation account. It provides illustrations of astronomical objects and facts about the immense scale of the universe.
3 A4 Sci History
The document summarizes key developments in understanding planetary motion from Ptolemy to Kepler. It describes how Ptolemy created the geocentric model with epicycles to account for retrograde motion, how Galileo's telescope discoveries like Jupiter's moons supported Copernicus' heliocentric model, and how Kepler analyzed Tycho Brahe's precise observations to determine that planets orbit in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.
Earth-Like Planet with Intelligent Life? Why 400 Years?
Earth-Like Planet with Intelligent Life? Why 400 Years?
Paul H. Carr, Ph. D.
In 1584, Dominican monk Giordano Bruno envisioned the stars as "countless suns with countless earths, all rotating around their suns.” Searching for intellectual freedom, he fled his native Italy to Protestant Switzerland and Germany, but in 1600 the Roman Inquisition condemned him for heresy. He was burned at the stake.
Fast-forwarding to 1995, the Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz announced the discovery of a planet orbiting a star similar to our sun (51 Pegasi). In 2010, 500 planets had been found orbiting 421 stars. On Feb 2, 2011, NASA announced that the Kepler space telescope had identified 1200 planet candidates.
It took 400 years for telescope technology to advance and for Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Bradley, and Foucault to establish heliocentric cosmology, culminating in today’s astrophysics with digital imaging and processing. Here is your opportunity to learn about the progress we are making towards discovering an earth-like planet with the possibility of intelligent life. Contrasting with Bruno, in 2010 Dominican Francisco Ayala, who had been president of the Sigma Xi and AAAS, won the $1.6M Templeton Prize for affirming life’s spiritual dimension.
Afm Deep Sky Divas- Galileo Nights 10-24-09
The document summarizes the Galileo spacecraft mission and its discoveries. It discusses (1) Galileo's launch and trajectory to Jupiter, (2) its exploration of asteroids, comet impacts and Jupiter's moons, and (3) the images it captured of Jupiter's atmosphere, lightning, auroras and rings. The mission helped validate Copernicus' heliocentric model of the solar system and greatly expanded human knowledge of the Jovian system.
Expanding universe
This document describes the evolution of cosmological models throughout history from ancient Earth-centered models to the current Big Bang model. It discusses how each new model was developed in response to new observations that could not be explained by existing models, from Copernicus developing the Sun-centered model to resolve issues with planetary retrograde motion to Hubble establishing the expanding universe model based on the observation of redshift in galaxies. The document also outlines how new discoveries like dark matter and dark energy have led to refinements of the Big Bang model but not a rejection of the overall framework. It emphasizes that science advances through an ongoing process of testing predictions made by models against observations.

A Few Good Men
A handful of brave men armed with the weapons of mathematics and courage toppled, in a span of a mere one hundred years, the entire geocentric model of the universe. The Polish astronomer Copernicus1 (1473-1543) challenged the geocentric model of Ptolemy (the one with the epicycles) on the grounds that placing the sun at the center of the solar system and assuming that Earth revolves about the sun (and rotates around its axis) reduces the number of equations describing the motion of the planets from about eighty down to thirty.
His book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium appeared in 1543 after his death. The Vatican ignored the book as it only suggested that the mathematical model putting the sun at the center makes more sense. He didn’t assert that this is the way things are.
At the time of publication of this first round in the cosmic battle, the major hero, Galileo, was not yet born. We shall get to him soon.
A Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe2 (1546-1601), patiently collected a mountain of astronomical data over a ten-year period. Upon his death, his assistant Johan Kepler3 (1571-1630), whom he had taught to observe and then hypothesize, interpreted the data and formulated his three laws of planetary motion.
1Nicole Oresme also opposed the theory of a stationary Earth as proposed by Aristotle and advocated the motion of Earth some 200 years before Copernicus. He eventually rejected his own ideas.
2He was appointed Imperial Mathematician to the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolph II, and Kepler was hired as his assistant to help with the calculations. He also wore a golden nose to replace his own which he lost in a duel.
3Kepler’s mathematical work on the volume of a wine barrel is considered to be at the forefront of integral calculus and the calculation of volumes of solids of revolution.
· 1. The planets revolve about the sun in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one focal point of the ellipse. (An ellipse has two focal points, or foci.)
· 2. An imaginary line from the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals.
· 3. No matter which planet we study, the ratio of the square of the average distance from the sun to the cube of the length of time of one complete revolution is the same.
Aha! The motion of the planets is entirely predicable using mathematics. Furthermore, the Church and the ancient philosophers were wrong! The orbits are elliptic – not circular – and Earth is just another planet. And the best part is that these laws rest on mathematics and observation – not on authority. Kepler, too, escaped the wrath of the Roman inquisition. He lived outside of Rome’s sphere of influence. Our main hero, as we shall see, was not as lucky.
Galileo4 (1564-1642) was the son of a Florentine merchant. As a boy, he studied music, art, and poetry. He designed mechanical toys. He showed mathematical promise when he was a medical student. He noticed that after the hanging lamps were filled with oil and lit, they swung back.

From the Beginning of Space and Time: Modern Science and the Mystic Universe
Cosmology is the branch of science that studies the origin, evolution, and large-scale structure of the universe as a whole. It seeks to understand the physical laws that govern the universe, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the formation and evolution of galaxies, and the ultimate fate of the universe. The modern understanding of cosmology is based on the theory of general relativity, which was developed by Albert Einstein in 1915. According to this theory, the universe is described as a four-dimensional space-time that is curved by the presence of matter and energy. The curvature of space-time determines the motion of objects in the universe, and it can be calculated using Einstein's equations. One of the key concepts in modern cosmology is the Big Bang theory, which states that the universe began as a hot, dense, and infinitely small point about 13.8 billion years ago. The universe has been expanding and cooling ever since, with the galaxies moving farther and farther apart from each other. Another important concept in cosmology is dark matter, which is a type of matter that does not interact with light or any other form of electromagnetic radiation. Dark matter is believed to make up about 85% of the matter in the universe, and its gravitational effects can be observed through the motions of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Dark energy is another mysterious component of the universe, which is believed to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe in the present era. Dark energy is thought to make up about 70% of the total energy density of the universe, and its nature is not yet well understood. Cosmologists use a variety of observational and theoretical tools to study the universe, including telescopes, satellites, computer simulations, and mathematical models. The field of cosmology is constantly evolving as new observations and discoveries are made, and it is one of the most active and exciting areas of research in modern astrophysics.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the field of cosmology, written for students and general readers interested in learning about the origins, evolution, and structure of the universe. The book covers the historical development of cosmological theories, from the ancient Greeks to the present day, and explores the latest observations and discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology. The book provides a clear and accessible explanation of the principles of general relativity, quantum mechanics, and other scientific theories that underpin our understanding of the universe. It also discusses the role of dark matter and dark energy in the structure and evolution of the universe, and explores the possibility of parallel universes and other speculative theories. This book emphasizes the importance of observational evidence and scientific testing in the development of cosmological theories, and it discusses the challenges and limitations of scientific inquiry in this field.

A Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe2 (1546-1601), patiently collected a mountain of astronomical data over a ten-year period. Upon his death, his assistant Johan Kepler3 (1571-1630), whom he had taught to observe and then hypothesize, interpreted the data and formulated his three laws of planetary motion.
1Nicole Oresme also opposed the theory of a stationary Earth as proposed by Aristotle and advocated the motion of Earth some 200 years before Copernicus. He eventually rejected his own ideas.
2He was appointed Imperial Mathematician to the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolph II, and Kepler was hired as his assistant to help with the calculations. He also wore a golden nose to replace his own which he lost in a duel.
3Kepler’s mathematical work on the volume of a wine barrel is considered to be at the forefront of integral calculus and the calculation of volumes of solids of revolution.
· 1. The planets revolve about the sun in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one focal point of the ellipse. (An ellipse has two focal points, or foci.)
· 2. An imaginary line from the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals.
· 3. No matter which planet we study, the ratio of the square of the average distance from the sun to the cube of the length of time of one complete revolution is the same.
Aha! The motion of the planets is entirely predicable using mathematics. Furthermore, the Church and the ancient philosophers were wrong! The orbits are elliptic – not circular – and Earth is just another planet. And the best part is that these laws rest on mathematics and observation – not on authority. Kepler, too, escaped the wrath of the Roman inquisition. He lived outside of Rome’s sphere of influence. Our main hero, as we shall see, was not as lucky.
Galileo4 (1564-1642) was the son of a Florentine merchant. As a boy, he studied music, art, and poetry. He designed mechanical toys. He showed mathematical promise when he was a medical student. He noticed that after the hanging lamps were filled with oil and lit, they swung back.

ExpandingUniverse fgadhs ukfkfkfuk u djd
This document describes the evolution of cosmological models throughout history from ancient Earth-centered models to the current Big Bang model. It discusses how each new model was developed in response to new observations that could not be explained by existing models, from Copernicus developing the Sun-centered model to resolve issues with planetary motion to Hubble establishing the expanding universe model based on the observation of redshift in galaxies. The document also outlines how new discoveries like dark matter and dark energy have led to refinements of the Big Bang model but not a rejection of the overall framework. It emphasizes that science advances through an ongoing process of testing predictions made by models against observations.

From the Beginning of Space and Time: Modern Science and the Mystic Universe
Cosmology is the branch of science that studies the origin, evolution, and large-scale structure of the universe as a whole. It seeks to understand the physical laws that govern the universe, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the formation and evolution of galaxies, and the ultimate fate of the universe. The modern understanding of cosmology is based on the theory of general relativity, which was developed by Albert Einstein in 1915. According to this theory, the universe is described as a four-dimensional space-time that is curved by the presence of matter and energy. The curvature of space-time determines the motion of objects in the universe, and it can be calculated using Einstein's equations. One of the key concepts in modern cosmology is the Big Bang theory, which states that the universe began as a hot, dense, and infinitely small point about 13.8 billion years ago. The universe has been expanding and cooling ever since, with the galaxies moving farther and farther apart from each other. Another important concept in cosmology is dark matter, which is a type of matter that does not interact with light or any other form of electromagnetic radiation. Dark matter is believed to make up about 85% of the matter in the universe, and its gravitational effects can be observed through the motions of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Dark energy is another mysterious component of the universe, which is believed to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe in the present era. Dark energy is thought to make up about 70% of the total energy density of the universe, and its nature is not yet well understood. Cosmologists use a variety of observational and theoretical tools to study the universe, including telescopes, satellites, computer simulations, and mathematical models. The field of cosmology is constantly evolving as new observations and discoveries are made, and it is one of the most active and exciting areas of research in modern astrophysics.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the field of cosmology, written for students and general readers interested in learning about the origins, evolution, and structure of the universe. The book covers the historical development of cosmological theories, from the ancient Greeks to the present day, and explores the latest observations and discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology. The book provides a clear and accessible explanation of the principles of general relativity, quantum mechanics, and other scientific theories that underpin our understanding of the universe. It also discusses the role of dark matter and dark energy in the structure and evolution of the universe, and explores the possibility of parallel universes and other speculative theories. This book emphasizes the importance of observational evidence and scientific testing in the development of cosmological theories, and it discusses the challenges and limitations of scientific inquiry in this field.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
