Definition :
- progress of improving technology and overall our society by researching and analysing our world and beyond. -- - Its purpose is to expand our knowledge and break boundaries.
- The careful study of the structure and behaviour of the physical world, especially by watching, measuring, and doing experiments, and the development of theories to describe the results of these activities

Science in Frankenstein:
- Victor was kind of interested in natural philosophies from young on, especially after witnessing a thunder hitting a tree making the tree explode. After entering college in Ingolstadt, he gets a lecture from one of his professors and that made him change his major
- a main topic in Frankenstein
- without boundaries
- not really logical — creating life out of dead things
- It was at first only an interest for Victor, but since the death of his mother, he had an ambition to understand and use science to create life(reanimate). His ambition for science quickly turns into an obsession, which drives him insane.

What is Galvanism:
- Luigi Galvani discovered the effects of electricity on muscle tissue when investigating an unrelated phenomenon which required skinned frogs in the 1780s and 1790s. His assistant is claimed to have accidentally touched a scalpel to the sciatic nerve of the frog and this resulted in a spark and animation of its legs. So they animated a dead frog leg with electricity and made it move.

Victor Frankenstein:
Victor uses, in a sense, the same technic to reanimate the dead body pieces and to recreate life, on his own. The difference is that the creature doesnt just move its muscles while being stimulated but it gains life just through one huge electilcal blow and is able to completly move on its own afterwards.

- They set boundaries for what scientist are allowed to do, in order to not harm anyone or to protect the public from dangerous inventions (Radiation for an example)
- Scientists praise an oath to not cross boundaries
- They have to be broken to advance in science

- Ethics get broken in Frankenstein
(Reanimating a dead body that should be treated with respect)
- only acted in a single-minded pursuit of knowledge and power. It was his single-mindedness that led him to social isolation, which eventually resulted in his creation. He crossed many boundaries without taking into consideration the consequences of nature and humankind his actions might bring.

Modern Exploration (MOSAiC)
-  own technology to aid them
-  gets outside support (Exchange Scientist and supplies)
-  take measurements of different things to analyse the effect from global warming
-  International cooperation
-  they aren’t in real danger (not so much)
-  they are experienced in this enviroment

In the book (old)
-  Own no technology and no knowledge of the environment and all the things there
-  no outside support (all on their own)
-  they are there to understand why the compass is attracted to there
-  are there for a longer period of time and have no way of quickly getting back (no control or backup)
-  scientist (Robert Walton) gets lonely because he has no other scientists with him, which he could talk to

Embark on the largest polar expedition in history: in September 2019, the German research icebreaker Polarstern has set sail from Tromsø, Norway, to spend a year drifting through the Arctic Ocean - trapped in ice.
