What are some important scientific discoveries in the past 9 years?
Q. Since 2000? In 2000 we uncovered around 90% of the human genome. In 1998 we seriously speculated and discovered, though indirectly, water on the moon. What have been some highly important and influential discoveries since then? I am pretty sure invisibility is one of them.

A.

Why is it mostly men that make scientific discoveries and inventions?
Q. It seems like all the great inventors and scientists (like Edison, Marconi, Da Vinci, Newton, Einstein, Wright Bros, Stevenson) were men. Of course women are smart and capable, but why is it so few pioneer discoveries and breakthrough inventions?
Asked by Helping Hand IT - Sat Apr 1 10:31:31 2006 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Because it hasn't been till very recently when women were allowed to learn anything in those types of fields. There are still more men than women in the scientific industry, in another 100 years or less the list you gave should include a lot more women. Remember, women were barely allowed to go to college when my grandmother was of age (I'm 24). Even then, they were expected to go to college to find a man, not a career. We are just now starting to see the the first generations of women who have proper educations. You could have asked the same only change women to African Americans, it's not because either group is less intelligent. It's because they have been suppressed from that line of work until very recently.

Why does it take so long for scientific discoveries to be mentioned to the public?
Q. I've noticed that when many articles are run on new "discoveries" they actually reference back to findings several years ago. Why do they wait so long to publish their findings? Or is it that the news takes longer to put a story out on it?

A. There is so much junk science that a protocol has developed to deliver reliable, truthful science news (which does not always work) Science institutions (the government, universities, research labs, etc.) do not publicize incremental or unverified findings. When things have progressed far enough on a line of research or discovery and has been repeated or verified, then an announcement can be made. The facts of such announcements are often obscure and incomprehensible, so the emphasis is on the implications - what the discovery or research means to peoples lives, or if not relevant there, then the implications to common understanding and conventional wisdom. And of course, information on where we go from here. So there can be a lot of… [cont.]

Why do you think it is that no one is making any important new discoveries in the fields of science?
Q. Maybe I have it wrong, but it seems like there are no new discoveries being made. Did the age of discovery end with the theories of quantum mechanics? Development of technology is not the same thing. For instance, cell phones have been developed and continue to develop over time, the same is true with computers. But the concepts that those things were made from were discovered a long time ago. I'm talking about things that no one knew existed before, that changes how we approach our world.

A. I think you have it wrong. Incredible amounts of new knowledge are being discovered in astronomy, genetics, and other sciences. Keep in mind that science is a gradual process, and even the biggest breakthroughs can unfold over a period of years. The world did not wake up one day to headlines screaming "Quantum mechanics revolutionizes physics". Quantum mechanics started with Planck and Einstein, but it wasn't until the 20's that a coherent theory began to be developed, and that theory is still being added to.

A. I'm sorry, I find this question just as insipid and meaningless now as when it was first asked but directed at atheists about accepting the possibility of a creator. In either case, neither time the question was asked gave any meaningful description about how such findings might create a situation that differs in any meaningful fashion from the situation here and now, much less how the fact that people are debating these questions here now be any different in the light of such a situation.

A. Andrew Carnegie was a capitalist in the Industrial revolution. He saw the value steel had and he revolutionized the process of making it. His contributions to the process of purifying steel drove the value down to, for the time, an unimaginably cheap price. He is almost single handily responsible for allowing steel to replace iron as the number one material used in construction. Iron only allowed for around 6 stories to be built on a building.

The discovery of penicillin is arguably one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century.?
Q. The discovery of penicillin is arguably one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. In the years following this discovery, it was assumed that we had conquered bacterial infections and science moved onto other problems, like combating viral infections. However in recent years there has been a rise in infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. How do bacteria develop antibiotic resistance? How can inappropriate use of antibiotics and other antibacterial products contribute to this problem? What should we do to combat it?
Asked by tigger - Wed Jul 16 12:01:00 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Some bacteria (Gram negative) have membranes outside their cell walls. Since Penicillin works by attacking cell walls, it does not work on these bacteria. Also, over-use of antibiotics created some bacteria that contain Plasmids, which are a small extra Rrna molecule inside the cell. This makes the bacteria antibiotic resistant. It's just survival of the fittest. Bacteria mutated to find ways to survive, just like other species.

Why are turtles important to Charles Darwin's discoveries?

Asked by Alex A - Sun Mar 29 19:39:04 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. He liked turtle soup and it kept him nourished so that he could think properly. He also wore a turtle-shell helmet to protect his head from falling coconuts on the Galapagos Islands. Sorry, couldn't resist it. Seriously, though, this is about the giant tortoises, where he noticed speciation: tortoises from different islands had different shapes according to habitat. Ones on islands with lush ground vegetation had domed shells and short necks, as they fed easily from the ground. Ones on drier islands, which had to stretch upward to eat cacti, had "saddleback" shells and longer necks.
