SCOTLAND SCIENCE

      Scotland has been an important cradle of research and discoveries in science, mathematics, engineering and technology for centuries. The Scottish Enlightenment in the eighteenth century, in particular, saw a large number of scientific findings, progress and achievement that took place as a result of investments in education, a thriving economy and a worldview optimistic after the act of union in 1707.  Below we offer five brief reviews of the most famous Scottish scientist made tremendous progress in their fields and that certainly helped shape the world in which we live.

     These Scottish scientists serve as inspiration for future generations of young Scots looking to make their mark in the history books as well.

      Some Scottish scientists was James Clerk Maxwell: Theorical Thermo electromagnetism (1831-1879) His groundbreaking work in the science of Scotland and was it unify global magnetic observations, electrical and optical parts of the electromagnetic theory of Maxwell in the same league as Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein on the world stage, Indeed, Einstein once said of Maxwell’s work was the most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since Newton’s time.

     Its four fundamental equations describing the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. They can be used to demonstrate that the light is an electromagnetic wave. Along with his contributions to the kinetic theory of gases, Maxwell’s work paved the way for the fields of special relativity and quantum mechanics.

    Actually with help of Newton and Maxwell the modern Scientist created a robot that collaborated in the hospital carrying pills, food at the sick’s.

     In the last time anthropologic and scientist   discovered the world’s oldest calendar. Aberdeen shire, Scotland, July 15, 2013. Thank to aerial images of the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. Archaeologist found the oldest calendar in the world.

    “It shows a very important step in the formal construction time and therefore to the history” emphasizes Vince Gaffney, a teacher and director at Birmingham University.

     The calendar dates back 10.000 years ago and lunar phases required to establish satellite months in the course of a year. It’s estimated that his creation is authored by hunters and gatherers.
