The authors we read today were constantly mentioning his name and what he developed, from both a critical or "disrespectful" perspective to the use in the developmet of his ideas which is more of the case of Jules Verne. also, there were straight connections with what was developed about other scientists we touched upon in the previous lesson, them being Galileo and Newton (we saw in less depth). The same pattern could be noticed with these scientists: Verne admiring them and Poe in some way diminishing their work.]]> 2022-04-06 15:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/carlofialdini23_1_1/uf3oo4k43hdg31qz/wish/2132885758 carlofialdini23_1_1 https://padlet.com/carlofialdini23_1_1/uf3oo4k43hdg31qz/wish/2132889677 Edgar had a curious relationship with the sciences. He believed that the development done by all the scientist up until that point were not something completely rational but actually something intuitive, such as when talking about how his ideas were developed instead of Kepler getting to his conclusion about the laws in a rational manner he actually imagined them. Additionally the content developed by Newton was a consequence of all of this guessing. This is specifically evident in the following passage of " Eureka: A Prose Poem": " Newton deduced it from the laws of Kepler. Kepler admitted that these laws he guessed". ]]> 2022-04-06 15:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/carlofialdini23_1_1/uf3oo4k43hdg31qz/wish/2132889677 carlofialdini23_1_1 https://padlet.com/carlofialdini23_1_1/uf3oo4k43hdg31qz/wish/2133408507 The work of Edgar Allan Poe also included several "guesses" about the functioning of the universe, one of them would specifically be related to priorities of atoms, which can also be seen to have a relationship with science. ]]> 2022-04-06 20:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/carlofialdini23_1_1/uf3oo4k43hdg31qz/wish/2133408507 carlofialdini23_1_1 https://padlet.com/carlofialdini23_1_1/uf3oo4k43hdg31qz/wish/2133443802 Jules Verne was an individual who fantasized (developed literature) about adventures and it is clear how he was influenced by the context around him. He was influenced by the industrial revolution which facilitated the way people would reach different places through the train for example; Verne's work also takes into consideration other external factors for example he was significantly impacted by the civil war in the United States. The work of Jules also focuses on different events not only on earth but also related to outer space adventures, one specifically being a journey to the moon. His work even though is made out of a fictitious scenario is backed up by mathematical evidence, although not completely (has some distortion). In contrast to Poe, Jules has an extreme admiration for the figure of Newton and this is explicit in his work, for example in the following quote from "From the Earth to the Moon" : "Some seconds of a Pascal or a Newton are more precious than the whole existence of a crowd of raw simpletons"]]> 2022-04-06 21:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/carlofialdini23_1_1/uf3oo4k43hdg31qz/wish/2133443802 carlofialdini23_1_1 https://padlet.com/carlofialdini23_1_1/uf3oo4k43hdg31qz/wish/2133453359 My main takeaway from today's class is the changes that society faced as the technologies started to evolve in the industrial evolution and how there were two perspectives to what was being developed, one that felt open-minded to the change and one that was a bit more conservative to the already existing elements in humanity, and finally, how these different perspectives reacted to this change in the practical sense, two of these reactions can be seen from the perspective of Allan Poe as well as for the perspective of Jules Verne.]]> 2022-04-06 21:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/carlofialdini23_1_1/uf3oo4k43hdg31qz/wish/2133453359
