Binding of Isaac

Daniel Bernoulli, proclaimed to be the greatest out of all the Bernoulli in his family, made the basis for the kinetic theory of gases, applied the idea of Boyle’s law, worked on elasticity with Leonhard Euler, the development of the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation, and one of the most important Bernoulli’s Principle which is critical to aerodynamics. At the beginning of Daniel’s life he wasn’t allowed to choose what he wanted to be or be able to pursue the career he wanted, but this shaped the…

Though he worked on the calculus theory a lot, there is a debate as to whether he or Sir Isaac Newton truly discovered calculus. After much debate, most scholars agree that Leibniz and Newton worked on the theory and development at the same time. Leibniz also discovered what a matrix was, which helped with finding solutions to many mathematical…

Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy on February 15, 1564. He was a gifted astronomer and physicist. Many of Galilei’s inventions resonate today, more than four-hundred years later. \This innovative man invented many things that are still used. He is the known creator of the thermometer (1606) and the telescope (1609). He also generated the concept of Venus’s phases (1610), Jupiter’s satellites (1610), Saturn’s rings (1610), and proved Copernicus’s heliocentric theory (1616). In his earlier…

Inventor of the barometer, as well as an Italian mathematician and physicist, Evangelista Torricelli was a great scientist in the times of the Renaissance. At a young age, Torricelli lost his father. He went to study with a Camaldolese monk and also his uncle, Benedetto Castelli. It was there when he was taught mathematics, mechanics, hydraulics, and astronomy. In return of all the gifts he received, Torricelli became Castelli’s assistant. Torricelli became increasingly more interested in…

As many people may know, Isaac Newton was a man of many talents, but he was most famous for his law of gravitation. As a result, he played a significant role in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. Isaac Newton became one of the most influential scientists in that century. He invented reflecting lenses for telescopes which produced clearer images. During his life, he went through many hardships. He had a mental breakdown before losing his mother in 1678. Isaac Newton transformed the…

Newton’s Laws Sir Isaac Newton, the man who developed the first theories of gravitation, also introduced the three laws of motion. These laws essentially changed the field of physics in an astounding manner – it paved the way to modern science. Let’s look at these laws in some more detail: Newton’s first law: It states that an object will remain at rest or in a uniform motion, unless an external force acts on it. This is basically also the definition for inertia. In other words, the state of…

the papal Inquisition due to the book. In the end, he recanted his theories and ideas and was put under house arrest. Galileo made many advancements and achievements in science. The last main revolutionist during the scientific revolution was Sir Isaac Newton. Newton, as well as Galileo, made many achievements and advancements during the scientific revolution,…

We’ve all heard of Galileo, Newton, Copernicus,but there are much more Renaissance scientists who you never get to learn about. Some you hear about, some you don’t. Tycho Brahe is unknown to most but now you can hear about his part of history. Tycho Brahe was a Danish scientist who revolutionized astronomy with his work and made groundwork for greater scientists ahead of him. Tycho was born on December 14, 1546 in Denmark under a wealthy king and queen. He was an aristocrat and learned…

Robotics in the Police Force Everyday our police officers put their lives on the line to uphold the laws. Whether it’s pulling someone over for speeding or chasing a thief. Even these simple acts can put our cops in danger. There are also times when they stand on the brink of death to save someone else’s life. This could be when they are diffusing a bomb, in the middle of a fire-fight, or even sifting through debris for survivors after an earthquake. Whenever an officer puts his uniform on he…

In the field of medicine, robots such as the The da Vinci robot surgery system, which was developed in the late 1980s, are used to perform tasks to prevent injury or accidental problem for a patient. “The da Vinci Surgical System is a sophisticated robotic platform designed to expand the surgeon’s capabilities and offer a state-of-the-art minimally invasive option for major surgery”(The da vinci surgical system). The da Vinci robot surgery system is a robot controlled by a human to perform…
