Professor Don Lincoln – Understanding the Misconceptions of Science

 

Evolution. Relativity. The Big Bang. These ideas and others have helped us to understand the universe. of the How the modern world works. But here’s a secret: What you learned about them in school isn’t necessarily the It is the whole truth.

Science This is, undoubtedly, an incredible field of human endeavor. In the last five centuries alone, we’ve been able to make startling advancements in human progress thanks to discoveries like electricity and magnetism, the germ theory of Diseases and the Inner workings of Atomic particles

Despite its importance in our daily lives, it is not the most important. of us who aren’t scientists don’t think too deeply about science. We settle for what we were taught in high school—and for the Most of the time, this education was sound. However, compromises were necessary to ensure that the education was sound. of Help us with our conceptions of science that weren’t wrong, but also were just a piece of This is a much longer, more complex story. Misconceptions are even taught in fairly advanced science classes—and are still believed by people with quite respectable scientific educations.

These are some of the most common scientific beliefs.

• The ellipses that fix the planetary orbits to the earth are called planetary orbits.
• We use only 10 percent of Our brains.
• Light travels faster than anything else.
• A thrown object’s trajectory is a parabola.

They appear to be correct the Face of it, but they’re all misconceptions that aren’t entirely accurate. There’s much more to the Story is more important than you might think. And Professor Don LincolnA Senior Scientist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has created a stunning 24-Lecture course that aims to dispel myths and clarify confusion. It also focuses on scientific epiphanies that can change the way you see your world. You can find out more. Understanding the Misconceptions of Science, you’ll explore shocking truths about some of science’s most well-known—and often controversial—concepts, including the Physics of Black holes, flight, quantum mechanics, even and the Possibility of Extraterrestrial life. Ultimately, Professor Lincoln’s research-Backed lectures provide newer, more accurate, and better ways to learn what you were taught.

Explore Misconceptions Biology, Chemistry and Beyond

“Science,” Professor Lincoln says, “is built on facts, sure. But it’s also a methodology for determining and accepting—or rejecting—those facts. And inherent in science is a perpetual level of uncertainty and ignorance. Science has to be prepared to change and grow.”

This has been going on for years.-Evolution of nature of Science knowledge and understanding is at the Heart of Understanding the Misconceptions of Science. Professor Lincoln This course is a general overview that assumes very little knowledge. of the The fields covered include biology, chemistry, physics and quantum mechanics.

Nearly every lecture focuses on a single scientific discovery or concept that is often misunderstood.-simplified. At the Start of the lecture, Professor Lincoln This misconception is common among students, he explains. He then takes you on an in-depth dive into the why and how of it. the science really works, and how recent discoveries and advances have reframed—and in some instances, shattered—commonly held ideas.

The end result is a course which not only opens up your eyes but also expands your mind.-However, bending science can be a good thing. It can also ignite a curiosity to learn more.

Find a Host of Scientific Epiphanies

What is the secret to success? Understanding the Misconceptions of Science This is an engaging and entertaining learning experience. the “aha!” Every lecture is packed with moments. With insight, clarity, humor, and a dash of Humor, these and others of Professor Lincoln’s scientific epiphanies will have you rethinking what you know—or thought you knew—about the world of science.

• The Ideal Gas Law. The ideal gas law is described here the Relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature the Number of moles of molecules to make an ideal gas. There’s just one problem: gases aren’t ideal. That’s where the helpful—and slightly more complex—van der Waals equation comes in.
• Portrait of An Electron We tend to think of The orbiting electrons of an atom the Like planets around stars, the nucleus is like a star. But the scientific truth is that electrons are everywhere simultaneously. the Laws of quantum mechanics allow. The truth is that most matter is just empty space, and what you’re made of aren’t simple spheres—but force fields.
• Look outside the Punnett Square. Most human characteristics aren’t governed by a single gene. Let’s take, for instance, eye color. There are two genes that control eye color. Plus, the The idea that dominant traits are the best. the Most common and recessive traits the It is rarest to be wrong.
• There’s less bomb, more balloon. During the Big Bang, all the Energy and matter of the universe wasn’t just sitting somewhere in space and then blew up. Rather, because matter and energy and space and time are interlinked, there was a tiny volume that wasn’t a singularity that expanded into our visible universe more like an expanding balloon.
• Use Your Whole Brain. No, we don’t use just 10 percent of Evolution is the main reason evolution has shaped our brain. Around 20 percent of brain energy is used of the The metabolism uses energy, of Being only 2 percent of the body’s mass. If 90% of the Brain would not be used if there was a great evolutionary pressure to decrease its use the Size of Brains and skulls
• Space: Falling or floating in space Video clips may be available. of Interracial astronauts the International Space Station performing flips and other things of things, the truth is that they’re not floating in zero gravity. To describe them, we need to use the right word the These astronauts are currently working and playing in the state of New Mexico. “free fall,” the You may not realize the importance of difference.

Also the way, you’ll develop a sharper understanding of Some of the Most fundamental concepts, equations, theories and issues in contemporary science include:

• Faraday cages, metal shapes that help protect what’s inside from electrical charges and which are used to understand what happens when lightning strikes a car;
• The Bernoulli equationTo make it easier to understand the Laws of Motion of Fluids can also be used (incorrectly), to explain how planes fly.
• The twin paradox, the The most well-known paradox in special relativity, which combines a pair of Twins will study space travel, time dilation and movement with each other;
• Carbon-14 dates, a scientific method for piecing together how long ago something happened that’s actually a more complex process than it might seem; and
• Drake’s equationYou can get an estimate by calling. of the Number of civilizations in our galaxy that we could detect—but which also neglects important parameters.

Get an awareness the It is overwhelming of Science

As with many of Our other science courses Understanding the Misconceptions of Science It takes an approach that is welcoming and introductory to issues and topics that may seem daunting. the average non-scientist.

Professor Lincoln To make his expertise available to anyone willing to listen, he goes to great lengths the possibility that what they think they know about science isn’t the It is the whole truth. To that end, he’s crafted these lectures to include helpful graphics, animations, images, equations, and scientific terms that help you make better sense of what’s being discussed.

What will keep you interested, however, is the Energy and excitement of Professor Lincoln’s lectures. He’s an expert public speaker, dedicated to scientific outreach and education—efforts which have earned him the 2017 Andrew Gemant award from the American Institute of Physics.

Understanding the Misconceptions of Science It is about recognizing and respecting the immense task of scientific inquiry and experimentation. “The real message here is just how little we know,” He said. “Science popularizations are entirely misleading on where we are in this effort. This isn’t to minimize our accomplishments. We’ve come a long way. But we have even further to go.”

However of where you are in your own scientific adventures, this course will empower you with not just good science—but Better science.
