Document Summary
If you zoom in 10 million times to a salt crystal, you have an atom. If atoms were the size of melons, a single salt crystal would be the size of the moon. Everything is chemistry! (e. g. ) detergent, aspirin, cannabis, etc. Advanced understanding: you ha(cid:448)e a lot (cid:373)ore i(cid:374)for(cid:373)atio(cid:374), (cid:271)ut it"s (cid:373)u(cid:272)h harder to parse it out, truth is a very complex matter in social sciences. I(cid:374) s(cid:272)ie(cid:374)(cid:272)es, it"s a less (cid:272)o(cid:373)ple(cid:454) (cid:373)atter but still has some questions. Apple falls from the tree: representation (e. g. ) Newton and modern physics, detailed description of phenomena after frank observation. Is interpretation true under all conditions: models of collecting information, simplifying findings and finding general rules, theories. Scientific method: sherwood rowland, nobel laureate, chemicals expelled into the atmosphere can have pronounced climate effects, with ultraviolet light, fluorite atoms affect the ozone layer, rush limbaugh, radio host, greenhouse effect is utter nonsense.
