Riassunto

Physics was most likely the first discipline. Humans had to figure out how the world worked rather quickly if we wanted to survive. We had to learn Astronomy pretty fast too because we lived on a planet that tried to kill you every 12 months. After a bright, warm summer, with lots to eat, the Sun retreated and the weather got cold. Humans would have frozen and starved if we did not get smart and notice the patterns of nature.

But, it was a shaky start because Astronomy and Astrology were considered the same thing. Physics would eventually transform Astrology to the science of Astronomy; but, that would take thousands of years until the human race figured out how to do science. Therefore, this book consists of a variety of experiments and procedures that not only strive to illustrate basic Astronomical concepts; but, the laws of Physics which have the most direct application to the field. This workbook is designed so that the beginning student can be shown how science works. This workbook will help you understand how science tells us the things we know.

This is why you are here today to learn Astronomy and how science built the world we live in today.
