Life-Changing Science Discoveries



Quantum Theory. Danish physicist Niels Bohr is considered one of the most important figures in modern physics. He won a 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics for his (15)… on the … of an atom and for his work in the development of the quantum theory. Although he helped to develop the atomic bomb, he frequently promoted the use of atomic power for peaceful purposes. Atomic Bomb. The legacy of the atomic bomb (16)…: it successfully put an end to World War II, but … in the nuclear arms race. Some of the greatest scientists of the time gathered in the early 1940s to figure out how to refine uranium and build an atomic bomb. Their work was called the Manhattan Project. In 1945, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tens of thousands of civilians were instantly killed, and Japan surrendered. These remain the only two nuclear bombs ever used in battle. Several of the scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project later urged the government to use nuclear power for peaceful purposes only. Nevertheless, many countries continue to stockpile nuclear weapons. Some people say the massive (17)… that could result from nuclear weapons actually … countries from using them. HIV/AIDS. In 1983 and 1984, Luc Montagnierof France and Robert Gallo of the United States discovered the HIV virus and (18)… that it was the … of AIDS. Scientists have since developed tests to determine if a person has HIV. People who test positive are urged to take (19) … to … the spread of the disease. Drugs are available to keep HIV and AIDS under control. The hope is that further research will lead to the development of a cure.

27. Modern science uses language and concepts that go far beyond the directly and immediately observable, but there must always be logical links and experimental operational links between these concepts and things we can observe.
