1. Yes.

Scientific knowledge changes in the light of new

evidence or new interpretation like mass
measurement change from grain to metal and finally
stone.
2. Yes. Politics, economics, religion etc will affect the
scientific knowledge. This means direction of science
will be influenced by society and culture like way of
mass measurement is different in different tenure.
3. Yes. Originally, mass measurement is on grain.
However, people found that it is not a consistent
source and later develop metal and rock to improve
the consistency.
4. Yes. Creativity is the creation of new idea. Without
creation, the Egyptians just used grain for mass
measurement and would not invent scale balance
and metal weights.
5. Yes. Different ages would have different technology
and materials. The invention of metal in the post-
Egypt era led to the development of scale balance
and metal weights.
6. Yes. Competition encourages people to work harder
for first delivery. Whereas collaboration is good for
scientific progress. Like mass measurement, without
more people involvement, it would not be successful.
7. Yes. If science is based on subjective view, it will
have bias just like people believe on their own for
mass measurement. With the concrete evidence like
scale balance, it will be more accurate and less
quarrel.
