galileo galilei is one of the few figures in the history of science who has attracted the imagination even of laymen to the natural sciences. the battle of this great physicist against the domination of his church, a battle which he ultimately lost, manifests fundamental human interest that extends beyond the individual. galileo pits the right of the thinking individual against the right of an institution that defends its claim to set norms for individual thinking because it posseses superhuman truths.

Professor Freeman Dyson, a great physicist, thinker and futurist, has been very active in scientific, literary and public policy activities throughout his career. He has won numerous notable awards, including the Enrico Fermi Award, the Templeton Prize, the Wolf Prize, the Pomeranchuk Prize, and the Henri Poincaré Prize. Many Nobel Laureates and eminent scientists have high regard for him.

Boltzmann's work can be roughly divided into scientific and philosophical which comprises about the last ten years of his life. In 1903 he succeeded the chair of philosophy of science at the University of Vienna from Ernst Mach. The great physicist had a well-grounded philosophical education, and Principien der Metaphysik (The Principles of Metaphysics, 1904) by Serbian philosopher Branislav Petronijevic was among the less known sources of his philosophical ideas. There was no particular book in which he expounded systematically his philosophy of science. Some of its aspects can be reconstructed from his articles and lectures collected in the anthology Populdre Schriften (Popular Writings, 1905). Boltzmann's understanding of science was highly estimated by P. Feyerabend, and K. Popper claimed that he concurred the most with the philosophy of science of this Viennese physicist.


Understanding time has been quite a challenge for human being. Though we in general understand time but its implication for physics and the universe just make things very murky. In this paper we will discuss what is the relevance of time in the study of astronomy and how it impacts the Universe. The great physicist Einstein has to be credited for introducing Time as one of the dimensions and after that the whole concept of looking into time has totally changed. We have understood space and time have an integral collaborative part to play in the vast Universe. Not only that through general relativity we have seen how time interacts with gravity and how time can be distorted by gravity. From the simple watch on our hand time has taken a great leap and made a mark of its own. Not to say the behaviour of time in certain celestial bodies still makes us wonder are we missing some aspect of time. Time acts peculiarly inside a Black Hole and forget Singularity as the concept itself puzzles our knowledge of physics. The concept of time as one of the dimensions has opened a lot of new avenues of re-search but also has bought with its lot of unanswered questions. It does not stop here when we try to analyse past, present and future with time though theoretically may be very easy to understand but once we add physics into its things get a bit complicated. The stars that we see in the night sky is actually past whereas the person travelling in space is future and we are present. This paper will try to see if events can be placed in time and how light brings those events into our understanding. It must be understood that any event that is observed by human beings is due to the fact that light is falling on that object. In Big Bang several events happened in the beginning before the commencement of photon or light that does not mean time had not started. So, it is clear that light and time is not correlated though for human beings to look into an event light is of course needed. This paper will try to analyses the time and light dilation in a Black Hole and how that influences the concept of time. Also, this paper will try to understand how much more research is required to understand the whole concept of light, time and Black Hole.

The concept of the electric magnetism Maxwell (1873) is a result of the superficial and exceptionally erroneous impression of Great Physicist from the well-known experience of Oersted. However the world scientific community adopted this erroneous impression as the ultimate truth and, following Maxwell, declared the moving electric charges to be direct sources of the magnetic field. At same time, the true sources of the magnetic field the magnetic poles (magnetic charges) which are the real structural components of atoms and substance, were “buried alive”. Such theoretical discoveries as the curvature of four-dimensional space-time, explaining the physics of gravity, the big bang, the journey through “Black holes” in space and time, and many others, are well known. All these discoveries were formed without taking into account the existence of real magnetic poles (magnetic charges) since were based on the provisions of Maxwell’s flawed electromagnetic concept. The main reason which for more than 100 years inhibits the detection and recognition of real magnetic charges, are the special conditions of their confinement in a substance that are radically in the substance different from confinement of electrons. The results the experiments of F. Ehrenhaft, the present author and others in which of real magnetic charges were observed in the structures of atoms and substance prove that the existing concept of electric magnetism is deeply erroneous, and the fundamental change in physical priorities is the most important task today. Physical science, freed from vicious EM-concept of Maxwell and the accompanying relativism will offer humanity innovations in the form of practically useful physical effects and manifestations. This article presents 11 such innovations discovered by the author when embedded into the representations of real magnetic charges including, example, the electromagnetic (vortex) nature of the gravitational field, as well as the effects of Gravitational levitation and Intra-atomic gravitational shielding (IAGS). The first effect allows, for example, a person to go out into space without the use of jet thrust. The IAGS effect largely determines the physics of such fundamental manifestations as the chemical bonding, nuclear forces, and radioactivity.

To speak of contemporary issues in instructional technology is like counting wave crests in a stormy ocean: they are changing quickly all the time. New technologies and new issues present themselves daily. Educators struggle with both the instructional integration of computing and developing the skills and knowledge necessary to use technology effectively (Lipscomb & Doppen, 2005). Why, after over 30 years of having computers in schools, are educators still having such difficulties? Today’s population is much more accustom to electronics, yet knowledge is weak, concepts are misunderstood, and the difficulties of teaching with technology seem as serious and convoluted today as ever before. The great physicist and thinker, Richard Feynman, offered some critical comments about the challenges of educators. “What happens is that you get all kinds of statements of fact about education, about sociology, even psychology — all kinds of things which are, I’d say, pseudoscience” (Feynman, 1999, p. 242). Today, we understand “more about education [but] the test scores are going down…we just don’t understand it at all. It just isn’t working” (p. 243). Being critical of how the scientific method is applied to education, Feynman’s comments highlight how the study of teaching and learning yields limited or questionable results. Teacher trainers take their best guess on how to prepare teachers to use technology.
