RESCENT TRENDS IN PHYSICAL SCIENCES

What is physical Sciences?

physical science

the sciences concerned with the study of inanimate natural objects,

including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and related subjects.

New Trends:

1. Astronomy

Some of the most spectacular advances in modern astronomy have come

from research on the large-scale structure and development of the

universe. This research goes back to William Herschel’s observations of

nebulas at the end of the 18th century. Some astronomers considered

them to be “island universes”—huge stellar systems outside of and

comparable to the Milky Way Galaxy, to which the solar system belongs.

Others, following Herschel’s own speculations, thought of them simply

as gaseous clouds—relatively small patches of diffuse matter within the

Milky Way Galaxy, which might be in the process of developing into

stars and planetary systems, as described in Laplace’s nebular hypothesis.

2.SCIENTIFIC METHOD
The beauty of physical sciences can best be displayed if

results drawn from it are accurate and valid. In science there is

general procedure for carrying out investigation to unveil the mystery

surrounding any even or phenomenon. There is a general way

common to all scientific research this called the scientific

character or scientific method [4]. The scientific components that

make up scientific method are: Observation: Data are gathered by careful

watch and record what we see. Accurate and reliable observation is

required to have good results. Cohen Doyle talks about

how emotional factors and perception may impose some error. We need

to ask the following questions for good observation: What is the

question you need to answer? What do you know and what do you

need to find out? What are the variables or things that affect the system

it if is susceptible to changes? And how do you capture these through

measurement?

3. Experimentation
We need to design experiments. Select only one variable to change in

each experiment. Change something to help you answer your questions.

The procedure must explain how you measure change activities. Have

a control for comparison so that you can see what change activities are.

Do record experiment data of what you see or notice . In Mathematics

and Computer Science, we may not actually go to a laboratory or a field

to perform experiments. What is often done is to design simulation

experiments and run them on the computer. Everything that needs to

provide accurate running of computer code on the computer must be put

in place to have good simulation experiment.

4.Systemization Systemization
is all about putting data in coherent form using some

mathematical or statistical analysis in analyzing it. Hypothesis is all

about generating questions and using valid methods to answer the

questions. The end result is to formulate laws or theorems that seek

explaining some phenomena. Some calculations are need

These are just some of the new trends in Physical Scinces nowadays.
