Charles Darwin (Born on February 12th, 1809, Died on April 19th, 1882)
This entry focuses on the publishing of Charles Darwin's "On the Origins of Species by Means of Natural Selection." -
Charles Darwin- "On the Origins of Species by Means of Natural Selection."
Charles Darwin's work of "On the Origins of Species by Means of Natural Selection", is his best-known work. -
An Explanation of Charles Darwin's Contribution to Philosophy of Science.
Charles Darwin's greatest contribution to the philosophy of science is his work of "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. This work is Darwin's theory of evolution. In other words, this is Darwin's theory of "design without a designer." -
"On the Origin of a Species"
Charles Darwin based his theory in "On the Origin of a Species" on fact and reason. -

"On the Origin of a Species"(Continued)
Some of the facts demonstrated within "On the Origin of a Species" will be discussed over the next couple slides. To start, we will begin with, "Every species is fertile enough that if all offspring survived to reproduce, the population of the species would grow." -
"On the Origin of a Species"(Continued Part 2)
Another quick fact this theory is based on that I find fundamental to the core of the theory is "The more suited a species is to its environment the more likely it is to reproduce, leaving heritable traits that cause the process of natural selection. This creates a process of populations changing tin order to adapt to their environments, which ultimately these various lead to creation of new species." -
Werner Heisenberg (Born December 5th, 1901, Died February 1st, 1976)
Werner Heisenberg is most known for his principle of uncertainty. This was published in 1927 and Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for it in 1932. -
Werner Heisenberg- "Uncertainty Principle"
Heisenberg's "Uncertainty Principle" is a variety of mathematical inequalities that can predict the physical quantities of particles. -
Werner Heisenberg- "Uncertainty Principle"(Continued)
An example of the physical quantities of particles that are observed within Heisenberg's "Uncertainty Principle" would be a fundamentally limited accuracy of certain pairs of particle quantities. Such as position x and momentum p being predictable from their initial conditions. -
Werner Heisenberg- "Uncertainty Principle"(Continued Part 2)
Historically Heisenberg's "Uncertainty Principle" has been confused with a related effect in physics, called the "Observer Effect." The observer effect is the theory that certain measurements of specific systems cannot be made without making a change to the system itself. -
Karl Popper- "The Logic of Scientific Discovery"(Continued)
Karl Popper's book "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" explains how his theory of falsifiability is the explanation that in order for anything to be scientific it must be falsifiable. This means that every conclusion needs to be able to be disproven in order for the theory to be scientific. -
Karl Popper (Born July 28th, 1902, Died September 17th, 1994)
Karl Popper's greatest work in philosophy of science was the publication of his book "The Logic of Research" in 1934, which would later be renamed to "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" in 1959. The date to which the releases of either version is unknown. The closest I could find a reference to the book being release in the autumn of 1959. So, unfortunately my dates concerning this topic will not be accurate. -
Karl Popper- "The Logic of Scientific Discovery"(Continued Part 2)
Karl Poppers theory of falsifiability is groundbreaking for the philosophy of science because it sets science up for a never-ending quest of information. This quest is formed because with everything needing to be disproved it provides a never-ending cycle of different perspectives to approach a theory from. This cycle is essential to the growth of science because with more avenues of trial and error to explore you narrow your choices down to an accurate conclusion faster. -

This work of Karl Popper is an explanation of his theory of falsifiability.
