INTERVIEW INTERVIEW FOR INTERVIEW ON THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD


It 's true that she was the first Italian to introduce the scientific method?

Yes, I was the first to formally introduce the scientific method, with which it has a set of criteria still valid: I think the book of nature is written in accordance with mathematical laws and understand them you need to experiment with the objects that it makes available to us. Later they will say that I have implemented a Scientific Revolution, that is a radical change, not a circular path where every time you return to the starting point, but a veritable explosion of human thought, thanks to you today as you come to the computer. Even today, modern science makes no distinction between the theoretical and experimental aspect, what do you think?

Neither one nor the other, are dominant, as it is part of the scientific method a theoretical model that explains an experimental observation advances and future observations. One of the basic points is the reproducibility of the experiments, namely the possibility that a given phenomenon can be replicated and studied in laboratories around the world.

is true that it is not always possible to reproduce some experimental observations of nature?

Yes, it is true, In fact, for example, in some sciences such as astronomy or meteorology, it is not possible to reproduce many of the observed effects and then resort to observations and digital simulations. Another example is the 'evolution of Charles Darwin, which would require to be verified by directly observing time so long as to be reproducible in the laboratory (except bacteria), in which case the experimental tests are based on generations, the fossils and experiment with micro-organisms whose reproductive cycles are extremely short.

His contemporary was Francis Bacon, who was he?

right, was my contemporary Francis Bacon, however, which belongs inductivist current, which then also join Newton. Bacon tried to build a rigorous method to which he wanted to bring all description and statement about the world and through which they can avoid the prejudices that hinder a real perception of the phenomena of nature.

short, we can describe this scientific method?

The scientific method proceeds in conformity with meaningful experiences and necessary demonstrations, one and the other supplementing and correcting each other, giving rise of scientific evidence, which does not consist in the bare and empty in the passive observation or theory. Experience is the scientific experiment. Aristotle also held in great account of the observation. I said myself that Aristotle puts the sensible experience to all speeches. In fact, while he writes to estimate the heavens unalterable, because none has seen something new generarvisi or dissolve the old, is implicitly makes clear when he had seen one of these accidents would have rated the opposite and placed on it, as appropriate, the sensible experience in natural speech. But my experiment is very different from the observation of Aristotle. Aristotle's observation is close to the experience of common sense, while the experiment is the methodical nature of the question, which presupposes a language in which to formulate questions and vocabulary to read and interpret the answers. My experience is a synthesis of scientific observation and rigorous reasoning. In my experiment, the mind is not passive, makes assumptions, extracts with severity of consequences and then goes to see if they are given or not in reality. The mind is not subject to scientific experience, makes and designs. And made to see if his assumption is true. The perceived reality is the result of a planned experiment, is an attempt to force nature to answer. We can summarize the scientific method with the pattern shown above.

TELESCOPE

Mr. Galilei was she who invented the telescope?

No I have only improved. The first telescope was born in Holland in 1604. The inventors are not known because they wanted to keep their identity secret.

As the telescope is built?

I to build the telescope I used a piece of wood drained and cut in half and I put in two lenses at the end, two lenses that Molai making a concave and one convex with a focal length of 75-100 cm. I worked a lot, but eventually I managed to improve it and finally managed to power of 8, 20, 30 times.
In that year he appeared in Italy? There appeared

Only in 1608, four years after the discovery made by the Dutch.
There have been other discoveries of telescopes?
Not really, but in 1352 there is evidence on the use of eyeglasses.

which houses the telescope?

is preserved in the Museum of Science and Technology in Florence.

Why did you decide to build even the hydrostatic balance?

Why was attracted by some readings of Archimedes and some experiments for the measurement of specific gravity of bodies.


When he made the first scales?

was in 1586.

How was it built?

It consisted of a lever device. The end of the arm which was fixed a counterweight, was wrapped in a wire. The displacement of the counterweight, was determined very accurately by counting the number of turns of wire along which it moved.

There was a Treaty for this invention?


Yes, but it was published posthumously in 1586 .

When was the first example?

A copy of hydrostatic balance was built in 1608, after my death.

The universe is this great book which stands continually open to our eyes



"Philosophy is written in this grand book which stands continually open to our eyes (I mean the universe), but it can not be understood without first learns to comprehend the language and know characters, it 'which is written. It is written in mathematical language, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to understand a word without these one is wandering through a dark labyrinth. "

Family Conflicts

While Bella Proff is completing his project on conflict management for couples and families is disarmed applying it at home. The conflict had been simmering for last night, but the men of the house had been very good to avoid: one went to bed while the other came home, went out for a while to get to work the other rose, while playing a computer to the other comes home from work ... to dinner. The arguments begin generic type with the usual comments about the time television in the background. A background that becomes fatal when he starts talking about the controversy over the Inter-Lazio game yesterday. Light a fuse and detonate the bomb was one. Suddenly Bella Professors found that the child knows all the Lazio match in Rome did not allow any victory at Lazio: dates, players, fouls and penalties. Think back to the difficulties in studying it when he went to school and smiles. On the other hand, the outraged husband Romania continues to cry "shame" still unable to digest the bitter defeat because was one of those who had believed in the league. As the conflict turned into guerrilla warfare with the disappearance of his son with Lazio semisbattuta door, Bella Profs finished eating quiet trying to see if there might be good ideas to be proposed in its draft. There are conflicts can not be mediated: that between a son and a husband Lazio Roma player must fall in this species.
