"Mechanism" is now put aside by quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity, in which the role of the observer, and therefore of the human spirit, is decisive in establishing what ...
The initial state that Lemaître proposed for the Universe in his 1927 paper was Einstein's model of a static universe with a cosmological constant. [19] Also in 1927, Lemaître returned to MIT to defend his doctoral dissertation on The gravitational field in a fluid sphere of uniform invariant density according to the theory of relativity. [20]
The linear view of human evolution began to be abandoned in the 1970s as different species of humans were discovered that made the linear concept increasingly unlikely. In the 21st century with the advent of molecular biology techniques and computerization, whole-genome sequencing of Neanderthal and human genome were performed, confirming ...
