Gravitation

Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer, mathematician, translator, artist, and physicist. Nicolaus Copernicus is the first astronomer to discover that earth and the other planets within the solar system all revolve around the sun. As before the discovery, astronomers believed that earth was the center of the solar system and everyone revolved around it. Therefore, based on Nicolaus Copernicus discovery, it has contributed to astronomical history Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer,…

When people think of Isaac Newton and the contributions he made to science they usually think of his law of gravitation, but there is so much more. He came up with the three laws of motion, theory of light, and the universal law of gravitation. Newton transformed the history of science. In the first three years when Newton was at Cambridge, he, like everybody else, was taught the standard curriculum, but he was more interested in the advanced science. (Isaac Newton, 1) One of his very first…

19. Pluto is no longer considered a planet, and is considered a dwarf planet because it has not “cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. This saying pretty much means that Pluto has gained control of the gravity around it. So astronomers made a name for these planets known as the dwarf planets, to show that it is a planet that continues to orbit the sun, but it hasn’t cleared the neighborhood. 20. When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, they disintegrate before they hit the ground. When a…

Albert Einstein designed his own laws of nature. He changed the way we use to see light, gravity, and time. Most scientists in our day in age agree with what Albert Einstein has declared, but some scientists seemed to not understand what he was saying. Albert Einstein gave scientists the ability to know that atoms and molecules exist through Brownian motion. Albert was one who experimented the photoelectric effect in which he established that light has both a wave and a particle. Light particles…

Astronomical Cycles BY LEE YORKE Earth has many cycles that are apart of our everyday lives such as rotation. For example, Every approximately 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds Earth makes a full rotation on our planet on its axis, Earths axis is a line we say goes through the middle of the north and south pole. During the day, half of Earth will see daylight and the other side will receive darkness, this is because one side of the planet is facing the sun receiving all the energetic heat and…

Conclusion: Patent processus vaginalis should always be kept in mind in evaluating patient with perforated appendicitis who develops acute scrotum, regardless the age of patients. We report a rare case of an adult patient who developed scrotal abscess as a complication of a perforated appendicitis. Keyword: patent processus vaginalis, perforated appendicitis, scrotal abscess, ultrasonography Background Patent processus vaginalis (PPV) may change the natural history of appendicitis, one of…

Many consider Isaac Newton to be not only one of the greatest figures in the history of science, but also one of the supreme intellects ever produced by the human race. Besides his explanation of the laws of motion and gravitation and his discoveries concerning light and color, his development of calculus is regarded as the greatest creation in all of mathematics. (Bruno) More than two centuries have passed since Isaac Newton’s death, yet his legacy still lives on science. In the same year that…

Dark matter. One of the greatest, most mysterious discoveries in the history of science was unearthed by Vera Rubin in 1978. The galactic spearhead of the 50’s, Vera Rubin is a marvelous American woman because of her discoveries in the area of dark matter, galactic rotation curves, and her work in gender equality. Vera Cooper Rubin was born on July 23, 1928 in Philadelphia. Vera’s father, Philip Cooper, was an electrical engineer. Her mother, Rose Applebaum, worked for Bell Telephone Company…

exploration is made possible because of the work of Newton. Newton’s discovery of gravity and its laws and published work has enabled humanity to venture deeper into the unknown region of outer space. Newton’s discovery and writings of “universal gravitation” has allowed us to traverse space correctly. Rather than point straight up and shoot, this principle requires objects to gain horizontal speed not only to reach,…

“Big Brother is watching you,”—similar to the government portrayed in the well-known dystopian novel 1984 by George Orwell, the Catholic Church had thorough control over every aspect of the lowly commoner. Ever since the alleged issue of The Donation of Constantine in the 8th century giving the papacy power of the western Roman Empire, the local church held power over the commoner from preaching to education to local politics (Vauchez 445). With the ability to manipulate the education that…
