During the 1950s there wasn't many discoveries, but the little discoveries there was had a big impact in the world of science. Discoveries such as the double helix were important because they helped expand the knowledge of science in more ways than just one. In 1953 Watson and Crick discovered DNA structured that was named the double helix. It wasn't a big hit at first but after the paper published in December 19, the discovery managed to beat even the climb of Mt. Everest. Another discovery during the year 1950 was that Animal Antibiotics can help boost the growth rate of the animals if fed to them. In 1951 scientist discover that a low calorie diet can help lower the chances of developing cholesterol.

One of which has little or no insulin made and the other in which the body does not use insulin well. And in 1959 scientist find that viruses can use a cells mechanism in order to reproduce. And last but not least during the end of 1959, Louis finds a skull of a the oldest known humanoid back then. All of this discoveries had a big impact on the world of science and helped us get to our current state. Most of this discoveries won a noble price for the impact it had on science. This discoveries were like a piece of a ladder that we have to put together to find something
As Albert Einstein once said, “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” This logic is what sparked the creation of the popular inventions of the 1950’s. Even though some inventions of this decade may not be around today, they still have a significance on inventions and thinking today. There are plenty of inventions that we use in modern time. Some examples are the Barbie Doll, Diet Soda, and today’s most popular fast food chain McDonalds. There were many types of inventions in the 1950’s such as technological, medical, and other inventions that are still used today.
Today, modern scientific advancements are significant
A new exhibition on the sciences and their impact is opening. These exhibits will range from the very beginnings of modern science up to the modern day. But five star exhibits will be displayed in prominence for their impact shaped the course of science. First is John Snow who revolutionized the way medicine was conducted. Secondly there is Isaac Newton, who is dubbed the father of the scientific revolution. Next is Albert Einstein’s famous equation E=mc² which in many ways shaped not only science but military and politics. Rachel Carson is the next prominent exhibit for her influence on agriculture and her influence on the historical perspective of science. Lastly we have Adam Gopnik, though not a scientist himself, he has given great insight
The 1960s was a decade where many Americas found a new life and way of living, it was the time of the hippies, peace and love. It was also a time where many scientific and medical discoveries where made, these discoveries have improved our everyday lives up to the date. During the sixties technology advanced with satellites, video games, the Internet etc. and with these advances they have changed our life style. Without the advance of the internet imagine how we would be today, nowadays we use the internet for everything we do.
The world of medicine, health and science, was on a fast track forward. Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921. An immunization for the dreaded Diphtheria was developed in 1923. Vitamins and a discovered interest in a healthier America was on the horizon.
Science has had a huge impact on society in the past few centuries with medicines curing disastrous diseases and the growing
Jackie Robinson once said “Life is not a spectator sport. . . .

Those and many other event molded the futures
How these scientists made discoveries that has helped the human race understand more about diseases and how things work.
During the 1600’s there was an outstanding advancement, the Scientific Revolution. Everyone had open up to the idea of science and was going away from the church. Scientist were finding out that what they had thought before was wrong, by proving that it could not be possible. People were trying to better understand the universe and how it worked. Some scientist were more curious than others, which lead to make discovery and advancement of further progress science. Johannes Kepler discovered motion of the planets, changed the way people consider about the universe.
Technology has had a major impact on human successes over the past million years. Possibly the single most influential event in the public’s interest when it comes to science and technology, would be the Apollo II mission. The space field has had a major impact and also has provided us with the ability to learn new technology and advance in our latest technologies. Since the first man walked on the moon, science has advanced at a rapid pace; nuclear power, television, jet
Science is an important part of our every day lives. We wake up each morning because we hear the ringing of our alarm clocks and turn on our faucets to wash our faces with warm water. We turn on the lights in our rooms to see our clothes and get dressed and we put our breakfast in the toaster and sip coffee from our mugs. All these things we do in the short time we are rushing to get ready for work or school, are due to the advancement of science and technology.
