Renaissance Science
In Europe, people began to question things that surrounded them. They began to study Art, Science and Religion. People became more interested in human anatomy, cutting up dead bodies to find out what’s inside. This was the beginning of the Renaissance.
Then Early Scientists wanted to share their ideas, but writing was expensive and required a lot of time and material, so a smart man known as Johannes Gutenberg invented the first Printing Press, that allowed people to share and learn information about their interests.
For Centuries, the Church had handled all matters related to Art, Science and Religion. The Classical Period had mostly been forgotten. All beliefs related to Astronomy were based on the teachings of Ancient …show more content…
Galileo Galilei improved the clock by creating a Pendulum. This allowed clocks to be much more accurate.
The first known telescope was invented in 1608, by an eyeglass maker, Hans Lippershey (Netherlands). His invention known as the Telescope soon spread across Europe.
Galileo Galilei was known as one of the greatest Scientists in history. His work focused in Astronomy, when Galileo heard the concept of a telescope. He decided to create a new and improved telescope, that allowed Scientists to examine the planets.
By using his telescope, he found many interesting discoveries about our Solar System. He found out that the moon had craters in it, he also found out that the moon did not create its own light, but reflected the sun’s light. Other discoveries include the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus.
Galileo Galilei believed in Copernicus’s theory, he believed that the Earth was rotating around the sun. He wrote a book which explained why he thought that Copernicus’s theory was correct. The Catholic Church did not agree, and put Galileo Galilei under house arrest. Galileo continued to write about the Solar System, while under house arrest. He died on January 8, …show more content…
Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. He was a physicist and mathematician who developed the fundamentals of modern physics, including the laws of motion, and is credited as one of the greatest minds of the 17th century.
In 1687, following 18 months of intense and effectively nonstop work, Newton published The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, most often known as Principia. It is known as the single most crucial book on physics. In 1705, he was knighted by Queen Anne of England, making him Sir Isaac Newton.
Newton was commissioned at the King's School in Grantham, a town in Lincolnshire, where he abided with a local pharmacist and was introduced to the fascinating world of chemistry.
His mother pulled him out of school at the age of 12. Her plan was to make him a farmer and have him tend her farm. Newton failed miserably, as he found farming tedious. Newton was soon sent back to King's School to finish his basic education.
Newton contrived discoveries in optics, motion and mathematics. Newton theorized that white light was a composite of all colors of the spectrum, and that light was composed of particles. Along with mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, Newton was praised for developing essential theories on
