 | | A History of Modern Planetary Physics(1st Edition) Transmuted Past (Volume 2) by Stephen G. Brush Hardcover, 146 Pages, Published 1996 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-55213-4, ISBN: 0-521-55213-3 "I.I. Introduction. The age of the Earth has been one of the most controversial numbers in science since the 17th century. The currently accepted value - about 4.55 billion years — is a fundamental datum of science and thus of considerable interest for its own sake. Yet, much of its signif1cance lies in its relation to other scientific facts and theories, such as geological time periods, biological evolution, and cosmology. Most ear ..." |
 | | The Origin of the Solar System(1st Edition) Soviet Research 1925-1991 by Stephen G. Brush, Aleksey E.

 | | Making 20th Century Science(1st Edition) How Theories Became Knowledge by Stephen G. Brush, Ariel Segal Hardcover, 552 Pages, Published 2015 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-997815-1, ISBN: 0-19-997815-8 "Historically, the scientific method has been said to require proposing a theory, making a prediction of something not already known, testing the prediction, and giving up the theory (or substantially changing it) if it fails the test. A theory that leads to several successful predictions is more likely to be accepted than one that only explains what is already known but not understood. This process is widely treated as the conventional ..." |

Haldane, and S. Wright in the light of Mendelian genetics, is the primary or exclusive mechanism for biological evolution. During the 1930s, alternatives such as Lamarchism, macromutations, and orthogenesis were rejected in favor of natural selection acting on small mutations, but there were d ..." |
