I've search the internet for information on the dot point in the syllabus but i seem to have trouble finding it.

"process information to discuss Einstein
and Planck’s differing views about
whether science research is removed
from social and political forces"

Can anybody help?

I think it is in my summary.

And this point is covered in jackaranda text book.

Einstein though social and political forces affected science. eg. he was hesitant about the manhattan project.

Planck believed that science was independant of social and political forces.

Don't quote me one that, long time since HSC physics.

3. Loyal to government policy of the day, therefore supported the Nazi war effort
4. Signed the "Manifesto Of 93 German Intellectuals To The Civalised World." Which supported and showed justification of the invasion of Belguim
