Science Analysis

The late 19th and 20th centuries have seen advances in technology and scientific
understanding the likes of which have not been seen before in such a short
amount of time in known Human history. In the last hundred and fifty years
science has advanced so much that one would barely recognize the lifestyle of
Humans before all these technological wonders. In fact, if the scientists and
thinkers of pre-industrial society had had a glimpse of the technology available
to the average early 21st century man they would probably surely think some sort
of sorcery was involved and would not believe for one moment that all these
technological innovations were based on concepts of the governing laws of the
universe that have applied all through mankind's history. In fact, modern
science looks pretty solid when one examines all of its wondrous creations and
the fact that new ones keep coming out daily. For instance, it would appear that
modern science has correctly solved the understanding of concepts and principles
which govern how electricity flows in a circuit. After all, computers, hair
dryers, TV's and other such electronic devices use this scientific understanding
to function properly and in turn most people use such devices every day, thus is
this science proven every time such a device is used successfully? It is easy to
classify such scientific understanding as fact when devices built upon the
science work and work very dependably at that. However is this science fact as
would appear, or is merely conjecture based upon an observable phenomenon?
Perhaps something entirely different happens when we throw the switch on a light
bulb and it illuminates than what science says happens. Even though the light
bulb lights up every time, that does not necessarily mean that the scientific
understanding of how the light bulb works is true. Take for instance the
scientific principles of projectile motion. In a simplified form, current
physics explains that projectile motion is composed of two components. A y
component which describes the objects path in a vertical direction and the x
component which describes the object's motion in relation to a horizontal
direction. This explanation show that projectiles travel in an arc and its has
been proven countless times through experiment upon experiment since its
original conception. However, the modern principles of projectile motion is not
how scientists have always explained the phenomenon. In fact, the theory
