oppression, and on how influential those wishing to cause an insurrection were. This leads to the major difference between history and science.History must be taken as it is to be investigated. All the factors leading up to an event must be looked at and taken into account, and because there is no reference (a similar event without any of the same factors leading up to it) the effect of these factors can not truly be known. In the sciences however, an experiment can be carried out again and again, and the factors involved can be varied to give slightly different results. From this the effect of each of these factors can be found and analysed. There is no controlling the way society changes or is changed over time as experiments can not be done on society to see if the results conform to what happened in history.So my opinion is that history and science are two separate entities that can only become one when involved in the “history of science”, because in the history of science ideas of how certain people came up with scientific ideas can be discussed....
