God and Demon, Stories and Legends

Celso Luis Levada

Abstract :

Isaac Newton developed part of his laws of mechanics in an age where philosophers had a vision of space and time united with divinity, that is, the physical phenomena were governed by God. Pierre Simon Laplace, French mathematician, on the other hand, raised the idea of the devil, who, knowing the position and velocity of every particle in the universe, predict the future. Thus, science would be sufficiently able to construct a theory indicating the behavior of nature and making inferences about their developments. In addition, other scientists such as Einstein, Descartes, Maxwell, Mendel and Kekule made curious analogy between science and mysticism. God, devil, snake and apple served to illustrate some curious pages of Science. It may be that these curiosities can be useful in teaching science, in terms of overall culture.
