My philosophy of Science

My philosophy of science seeks to understand the nature and justification of scientific knowledge. It has proven difficult to provide a definitive account of the scientific method that can decisively serve to distinguish science from non-science. Thus there are legitimate arguments about exactly where the borders are, which is known as the problem of demarcation. There is nonetheless a set of core precepts that have broad consensus among published philosophers of science and within the scientific community at large. For example, it is universally agreed that scientific hypotheses and theories must be capable of being independently tested and verified by other scientists in order to become accepted by the scientific community.

Hypothesis in Science

Once a hypothesis has survived to test, it may become adopted into the framework of a scientific theory. This is a logically reasoned, self-consistent model, or framework for describing the behavior of certain natural phenomena. A theory typically describes the behavior of much broader sets of phenomena than a hypothesis; commonly, a large number of hypotheses can be logically bound together by a single theory. Thus a theory is a hypothesis explaining various other hypotheses. In that vein, theories are formulated according to most of the same scientific principles as hypotheses.

Theory Version of the Universe

The universe is the place to describe all the things that happen in our daily life. We are always surrounded by the mysterious theory of the universe. I think it’s complicated when we try to describe the complicated theory of the universe and it’s really reasonable and creative to imagine such great works in our simple mind. Imagining something better for civilization is the core relationship to mankind and nature to describe new things. Although Science is the fact subject it has some drawbacks that’s why I like to call it the “Half-Truth” subject because we are unable to find out the strong base (fact) to build our laws and theories in it. It is true to somewhat or somewhere between but it would be truly wrong to say that it is 100% perfect and true as there are some assumptions, drawbacks in every law of science. Talking about such drawbacks, we are able to find out the clue to the “ Universal Grand Theory ”.

What is the Photoelectric Effect?

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission, or ejection, of electrons from the surface of, generally, a metal in response to incident light.  Energy contained within the incident light is absorbed by electrons within the metal, giving the electrons sufficient energy to be 'knocked' out of, that is, emitted from, the surface of the metal.  Using the classical Maxwell wave theory of light, the more intense the incident light the greater the energy with which the electrons should be ejected from the metal. That is, the average energy carried by an ejected (photoelectric) electron should increase with the intensity of the incident light.  In fact, Lénard found that this was not so. Rather, he found the energies of the emitted electrons to be independent of the intensity of the incident radiation.  Einstein (1905) successfully resolved this paradox by proposing that the incident light consisted of individual quanta, called photons, that interacted with the electr...
