Kyle Stanford’s ‘problem of unconceived alternatives’ constitutes one While these arguments are usually treated asĪltogether distinct, P. There are two primary arguments against scientific realism, one pertaining to underdetermination, the other to the history of science.

This means that the angle at which the parallel rays of sunlight struck each pole varied from one location to another. If indeed the earth is round, then the shadows should all vary in length from one distant location to another. Simultaneously measuring the length of the shadows cast by identical poles perpendicular to a flat surface that is tangential to the earth's radius at various, distant locations. when the earth blocks the sun from the moon, casting its round shadow on the moon's surface Source:- night&psig=AOvVaw2aALgMJMBmzA8KCZ8NTovc&ust=1605761697498000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCKDC09Gmi-0CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE 2. Observations leading to the belief that the Earth is round. Celestial Domain Below are the following naked-eye observations that are available to the Greeks that led to the belief that the Earth must be round and not flat. WHAT HAPPENED PRE-ACTIVITY A sequence of pictures of the sky that was time-lapsed for 24 hours from the same location. ( MELC) S11/12PS-Iva-4 ◆ Explain how Brahe’s innovations and extensive collection of data in observational astronomy paved the way for Kepler’s discovery of his laws of planetary motion. (MELC) S11/12PS-Iva-38 ◆ Cite examples of astronomical phenomena known to astronomers before the advent of telescopes. LEARNING COMPETENCIES: ◆ Explain how the Greeks knew that the Earth is spherical. S: demonstrate understanding on the different theories of the origin of the universe through citing examples of astronomical phenomena before the invention of the telescope and A: display interest in learning about the different astronomical phenomena during the ancient times. OUR EXPANDING UNIVERSE: HISTORICAL CONCEPTS AND OTHER FACTS OBJECTIVES At the end of the lesson, the learners shall be able to: K: discuss what implications the 3 laws of motion might have had on the world of science during in Kepler's time.
