Geography
The economy of Wurzburg was not really affected because the X-ray was not commercially sold nor was it a huge tourist attraction. The only money it brought in were from the traveling scientists that were visiting.
2
Culture
Geographically it put more attention on Wurzburg as being a educational power house and got it internationally recognized as being one of the best places to go for an education.

Politics
The culture of Wurzburg during the period of 1895 was one of freedom in the sense of being able to pursue whatever the individual wanted be it art, music, literature, and even science. The scientific community was changed drastically with the development of the X-ray because it allowed them to view things that previously were not able to be seen without the need of surgery.

Not much information is given about the politics of Wurzburg specifically but it being a city in German meant if followed what ever form of government was in place during the time. With the invention of the X-ray it made no difference in the political aspect of Wurzburg.

The social driving force
The social driving force behind the x-ray machine is none. It was an accidental discovery but once we had it, we utilized it.
About Him

Who invented the x-ray machine?
Born March 27th, 1845 in Remschied Germany. Was a highly educated man he had a Phd in Physics, Math, and Mechanical Engineering. He died on februrary 10th, 1923 due to carcinoma caused by the prolonged exposure to radiation.

What compelled him to play with radiation?

Wilhelm did not intend to discover the X-ray. Instead it was an accident. He was expirimenting with light waves and noticed how a particular wave would cause the glass tube to glow green. He put his hand over the tube and on the wall he could see his bones and muscles in his hand.

Radiology
How did this impact society?
the science dealing with X-rays and other high-energy radiation, especially the use of such radiation for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Thesis:
The x-ray has influenced medicine since the late 1800's. It has: Put a man in the history books named Wilhelm Rontgen, established the medical field of Radiology, changed how we heal and mend broken bones, and influenced an entire city. It has shaped the foundations of medicine.

The invention of the x-ray machine impacted society specifically in the way we practice medicine. It specifically impacted a town called Wurzburg in Germany by make it known to everyone in the scientific community in Germany.

Wilhelm was the only one at the time working with what is now the X-ray. After discovering it he named it the Rontgen Ray. As a direct result, he received the first Nobel peace prize for Physics and Engineering.

1900's + Era
The x-ray
Russell Evans
After the x-ray was discover. With the x-ray being discovered it allowed doctors to effectively diagnose and treat broken bones without the need of guess work. It even brought about the medical field of radiology and is used to save lives not just mend broken bones.

The x-ray has put a man into the history books and given him a Nobel prize. Changed how we mend broken bones. Gave birth to the medical field of radiology. and changed medicine in general.

Impact of the Past
1800's
before the invention of the x-ray in 1895 amputation was.. a grisly affair. During the American civil in 1864 broken bones were a common injury, instead of simply using an x-ray to set the set the bone correctly the doctors at the time would do the best to set it. More often than the broken leg or arm was removed due to complications during the healing process and or claimed by infection

1920's
The x-ray is an integral piece of medical technology. In today's society it is utilized and greatly appreciated. with out the whim and curiosity of a certain German Scientist, we would not have it.

In the End
2000+
As time has gone on, the x-ray machine has evolved. It has become safer to use. Radiation poisoning has decreased. As a direct result the x-ray has become a standard piece of equipment at hospitals.

I got information about the life of the inventor and how the discovery brought attention to the
area and brought some scientists to the area. It does support my hypothesis.
I got information about how the x-ray influenced the scientific field and how it impacted this specific area it was discovered. It does to an extent support my hypothesis.

I found blue prints for a simple x-ray machine that were inspired by the blue prints found in wurzburg. Does nothing to support hypothesis.
