  1. Scientific celebrity

    Unreferenced date December 2009 A Scientist scientific celebrity is a person who gains celebrity status in the media by representing their own scientific interests. Such promotion can be self serving in nature, can be at the behest of governmental or corporate interests or even to promote the science involved. With every new scientific discovery various people have long been known for their contributions to knowledge, medicine and methods of transportation. Although this phenomenon has undergone a recent upsurgence coincidental with the rise of celebrity culture , it is by no means new and the list of scientific celebrities is long. Many other people have become known to the public as a result of media promotion. Heads of state, heads of governmental units and religious leaders have long enjoyed this attention in representing interests other than their own. Media celebrities Some television presenter s such as Richard Attenborough , Patrick Moore and David Attenborough have scientific qualifications, but they are primarily known for their own presentations of scientific topics rather than their contributions to the advance of scientific knowledge. Additionally, some celebrities are known for their roles in the media but not for their work in science, for example Mayim Bialik , Child star from television show, Blossom who has a PhD in neuroscience . For a list of persons who have made major discoveries in the field of science, see the articles for specific areas of scientific knowledge and discovery.

    Multiple issues disputed June 2011 essay June 2011 refimprove October 2009 A scientific law is a statement that explains what something does in science. A scientific law must always apply under the same conditions, and implies a causal relationship between its elements. The law must be confirmed and broadly agreed upon through the process of inductive reasoning . As well, scientific fact factual and well confirmed statements like Mercury is liquid at standard temperature and pressure are considered to be too specific to qualify as scientific laws. A central problem in the philosophy of science , going back to David Hume , is that of distinguishing scientific laws from principles that arise merely accidentally because of the constant conjunction of one thing and another. ref Citation contribution Laws, natural or scientific editor last Honderich editor first Bike title Oxford Companion to Philosophy pages 474 476 publisher Oxford University Press place Oxford year 1995 isbn 0 19 866132 0 ref Law differs from a scientific theory in that it does not posit a mechanism or explanation of phenomena it is merely a distillation of the results of repeated observation.
