  Empiricism - Knowledge Through...

  Empiricism, as a philosophical doctrine, asserts that knowledge is primarily derived from sensory experience. This perspective contrasts sharply with rationalism, which emphasizes reason and innate knowledge. Empiricism has shaped our understanding of the world and influenced numerous fields, from the natural sciences to ethics and epistemology. The essence of empiricism lies in the conviction that the mind begins as a "blank slate" (tabula rasa) and that experience, rather than pre-existing ideas or concepts, forms the foundation of all knowledge. 
  At the heart of empiricist thought is the belief that all human knowledge starts with perception. We acquire information about the world through our senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—which provide the raw data from which we form concepts and beliefs. For empiricists, knowledge is not something we discover internally, but something we gather from external reality. This view stands in contrast to the rationalist emphasis on a priori knowledge, which is independent of experience and accessible only through reason. 
  Empiricism's roots can be traced back to ancient philosophy, with early proponents like Aristotle, who argued that all knowledge comes from sensory observation. However, the modern development of empiricism is largely credited to three major figures: John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume. Locke introduced the idea of the mind as a tabula rasa, arguing that individuals are born without innate ideas and that all knowledge comes from experience. Berkeley took this further by suggesting that even the existence of the external world depends on perception, encapsulating the notion that "to be is to be perceived." Hume, the most radical empiricist of the three, questioned the very basis of causality and inductive reasoning, asserting that our beliefs in cause-and-effect relationships were not rationally justified but arose from habitual experience.

  Infinite Darkness - How Dark...

  Dark matter is one of the most intriguing mysteries in modern science. Despite making up approximately 27% of the universe, it cannot be seen or detected directly using traditional instruments. The name "dark matter" itself stems from the fact that it does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to the electromagnetic spectrum. However, its existence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies, stars, and other celestial objects. Without dark matter, the motion of galaxies would not make sense, as they appear to be moving far too quickly for the amount of visible matter they contain. This unseen substance holds galaxies together and ensures the stability of the universe’s large-scale structure. 
  The story of dark matter begins in the 1930s with the work of Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky. While studying the Coma galaxy cluster, Zwicky found that the visible matter in the galaxies was not enough to account for the way the galaxies were moving. He proposed that there must be some form of unseen mass providing additional gravitational pull, which he called "dark matter." Although his hypothesis was met with skepticism, it laid the foundation for further research into this invisible force. 
  Over the following decades, scientists gathered more indirect evidence supporting the existence of dark matter. In the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin and her colleague Kent Ford observed the rotation of galaxies and found that stars on the outer edges were moving much faster than expected. Based on the laws of physics and the visible mass, these stars should have been moving more slowly and would have been flung out of their orbits. The only explanation for their high speed was the presence of a significant amount of unseen mass—dark matter.
