Dalton expanded on the work of Joseph Louis Proust and Democritus.
Democritus' early idea of an atom was spread to Dalton through the maintenance of old texts containing Democritus' works
Modern atomic theory - accumulation of various scientists' works, works that were used because they were preserved in texts (history)
Science cannot be proved conclusively because it is proved inductively.
Because of this, science continues to change as refutations and exceptions are found for present theories and hypotheses, as in the case of the atomic theory.
Since we lack access to all information, our view of the universe is flawed and open to change as we gain more information
Science requires perception of sensory stimuli to make observations about the experiment,
science becomes subjective
Physical limitations, incredulity, and lack of technology prevented people from seeing atoms before, which is why people did not believe in atoms.
1) All matter is made of atoms.
2) Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
3) All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties
4) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.
5) A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.
1) All matter is made of atoms.
2) Atoms are not indivisible (protons, electrons, quarks, etc) and are indestructible.
3) All atoms of a given element are not identical in mass and properties (isotopes).
4) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.
5) A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

“The biological approach to psychological matters has integrated with and run parallel to the rest of psychological thought since early Greek times- the Greek physician Galen suggested that personality and temperament may be linked to the levels of body fluids such as blood and bile in the body.”
• Reason : men’s syllogism consist of 2 premises and 1 false conclusion , used to justify the belief of male superiority = confirmation bias .
Link to the Human Sciences: Psychology
•psychodynamic
•behavioral
•cognitive
•humanistic
•biological
•sociocultural
Just as historical perspectives changed, so did psychological perspectives. This led to revolutions in the way people experimented and interpreted information in both areas.

Through the development of technology, there has been an increase and change in scientific knowledge over time. Former beliefs of scientific knowledge (such as that of genetics and heredity) have been built upon and advanced to create the knowledge we have today.
Perception plays a large role in scientific knowledge and stimuli is received differently by every person, therefore creating an inevitable bias in all research.
Reduction of researcher bias was introduced with new technology to aid scientific research.
Connection to Language:
Scientists develop universal scientific terms, and use Greek and Latin terminology to:

Scientific knowledge changes also because the support of many different hypotheses for the same set of data
-> would have led to a change in scientific theories
Intrinsic motivation may have contributed to advances in science
Changes in scientific knowledge also due to practical concerns
Aspects of science do NOT change - eg the scientific method has stayed more or less constant since its conception, Law of conservation of momentum and Law of cooling are applicable in all scenarios
These laws, though proved inductively, have held true since their discovery.
Are similar to mathematical axioms (fundamental truths) because they are supposed to represent aspects of the universe and because they are used to formulate hypotheses, like how axioms are used to support claims.
Despite this they still may be subject to change in the future.
