AI Thread Summary
Einstein and Planck had differing views on the influence of society and politics on scientific research. Einstein's deterministic perspective emphasized that scientific inquiry should remain objective and free from societal biases, while Planck acknowledged that societal factors could shape scientific progress. The discussion references the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which contrasts with Einstein's beliefs. Participants suggest exploring Planck's contributions to better understand these differences. Understanding these contrasting viewpoints is essential for grasping the broader implications of science's relationship with society.

Question:
Outline how Einstein's and Planck's views of Science differed in relation to Science research being influenced by society an politics.

I can't remember anything about this and I'm having trouble finding the information needed. Can some one please help me understand what is is that differed their views?

Well it was pretty well known that einstein was deterministic. Look up the copenhagen conventions I think its called. Also read up on what Planck is known for. There should be a contradiction there somewhere.
 
I will. Thank you~| FilupSmith |~
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
