Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a strategy aimed at finding dependencies in experimental data. Referring to the 11th chapter of the book, variance analysis is a unique tool that allows one to check some differences in the averages in any group, unlike t-tests (Foster et al., 2018). However, according to...

Emotions in Scientific Research

Scientists can hardly be completely objective when they conduct any research. First of all, research is based on the already existing ideas of scientists about a certain phenomenon or object. For example, Achenbach (2015) notes that scientists say GM foods are safe because there is no evidence to the contrary....

Continental Collision, Rock Deformation, and Folds

Continental Collision Continental collision is a process of two continents pushing each other, which leads to the growth of a mountain belt. When a subduction at a convergent plate boundary happens, oceanic lithosphere of a subducting plate slides beneath the overriding plate, which consists of either oceanic or continental lithosphere....

Analysis of Statistical Significance

Introduction Statistical significance relates to the null hypothesis’ determination, which postulates that outcomes result from chance. According to Benjamin et al. (2018), a hypothesis is a presupposition or belief about the relationship between one’s data set. On the other hand, the null hypothesis, commonly denoted as H0, relates to a...

Experiment: Science Meets Real Life

The Scientific Method The first step of the scientific method includes observation of the phenomenon. During this process, people examine and interpret the surrounding objects and events based on their previous knowledge and experience (Reilly, 2018). Such a preliminary step allows individuals to discover the potential advantages and drawbacks of...

Ring of Fire and Recent Tectonics Movements

The Research of Change Blindness

Abstract Cognition and information processing remain unexplored and are associated with various contradictory effects. Among them is change blindness, in which an individual tends to ignore the details around him while concentrating on the object of study (Briggs and Davies, 2015). The functions of this effect are only partially understood...

The Scientific Method and Metric System

Laboratory Objectives A scientific theory is a proven scientific statement that can be confirmed by repeated experiments. A hypothesis is a scientific assumption that still requires proof. Falsifiability is a property of the theory, characterizing the possibility of its fundamental refutation. Replication is repeated repeatability of the same (or similar)...

Copernicus and Newton and Their Role in Astronomy

Classical astronomy was based on Aristotle’s concepts and was relatively rudimentary. Centuries after the times of Aristotle, a lot of beliefs started to shift, and scientific revolutions began to produce more discoveries. Galileo and Copernicus contributed to science by proposing their theories about the cosmos. Copernicans believed that stars, like...

The Data Analysis and Application

Understanding of Technology Implicit in ‘Being and Time’

Heidegger’s technological concerns are not limited to his writings but are clearly devoted to them. Therefore, complete acceptance of his technological ideas needs some consideration on how they are incorporated into his project of philosophy and phenomenological approach. According to Heidegger, phenomenology is a mechanism that attempts to allow entities...

Standard and Nonstandard Normal Distribution in Statistics

The probability or chance of an event occurring is the probability or chance of it happening. In the most straightforward cases, to calculate the likelihood of event A occurring, divide the total number of events by the number of possible outcomes; after obtaining the probability of event A and its...
