How does society shaped the development of Physics as a science and how did Physics shaped the human civilization?
For me, society helped the development of Physics as a science by expanding its nature. Physics is a constant thing that cannot be recognized unless we explore and think of things that are out of the box. Without the great minds that helped contribute in the establishment of Physics as a science, Physics as we all know would still be undiscovered.
But furthermore, Physics also shaped the human civilization by tons of the inventions made. It has made life easier but at the same time, scarier. From adhesive tapes, batteries, computers to airplanes and vehicles, Physics made the planet a more comfortable place to live in. But Physics also impose a great threat to humanity because of the inventions of such destructive weapons, gunpowder and of course, the atomic bombs.
What are the points of impact between physics and society?
Physics had been always affecting the society and vice versa. Without Physics, our knowledge would be so limited! We wouldn't know that earth is actually round and not flat! We wouldn't know terms such as friction, gravity, force, etc. Various diseases would still be incurable if it weren't for Physics.
But above all, the curiosity of the masses on how things really work contributed to how Physics is today. If it weren't for the curiosity of people on how the moon looks like up close, we wouldn't be having astronauts, spaceships and other astronomical related gadgets. If it weren't for the society's wild imaginations, we would still be in the forests hunting animals to ease starvation, eating raw meat, and peace and stability would be somehow lacking. Chaos will eventually happen and the world will be in a hiatus if not for the great minds who garnered everything to make life in this world easier.
