Honor means great respect for what you have done especially big accomplishments. Honor is when someone respects you for your accomplishments. Scientist Ernest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in Spring Grove New Zealand. A pioneer of nuclear physics and the first to split the atom in half he was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his theory of atomic structure. His father James had little education and struggled to support the large family of 14 but his mother Martha worked…

There have been many incredible and important discoveries and records made throughout history, and those in the 20th century is no exception. While there have been many important contributions to advance science in the 20th century, the most important contributions have come from Stephen Hawking through his discovery of the idea of the Theory of Everything, his use of the quantum theory, and the creation of Hawking Radiation. Hawking contributed greatly to the scientific field by coming up with…

Sir Isaac Newton and Archimedes of Syracuse are both very notable physicians and mathematicians. Each had his own achievements and theories; yet, they both made groundbreaking laws and had compelling ideologies. This essay will briefly discuss the lives and achievements of both Newton and Archimedes. We will also compare and contrast the works of both men. On the 25th day of December in the year of our Lord, 1642, Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom of Great…

After Einstein had finished the Special Theory of Relativity he realized that gravity was not a force as Newton initially proposed but was caused by the geometry of space and time around a gravitating mass (like earth). Einstein believed that spacetime was like a blanket and the objects were like marbles. The marbles are the planets and space is like an…

find another word to describe the incredible transformation that occurred in the life of John Newton. Newton was born in London in 1725 His mother died when he was seven years old. Father gave him to learn seamanship when Newton was eleven. At the beginning of Newton was a cabin boy, then became deckhand. Naturally, the boy ran to the ship's way of life, rich blasphemy, drunkenness, immoral behavior. Newton without hesitation entered this vicious circle. Soon he surpassed all his contemporaries…

Eighteenth Century Mathematical Discoveries The Eighteenth century was full of great mathematicians, many of whom were disciple of either Newton or Leibniz. The most important mathematicians from the early half of the century came from one family the Bernoulli’s, and particularly two brothers Jacob and Johnathan. The middle of the century was dominated by Leonhard Euler. He made numerous discoveries that would change the landscape of mathematics forever, and today he is considered one of the…

the challenging ideals of Newton and Copernicus, science has been completely redefined and continues to grow as a result. Thomas Kuhn described particular scientific events, such as the transition from Aristotelian to Newtonian physics, as a paradigm shift that is realized when questioning the flaws of the then understood subject. The paradigm shift can be viewed…

Sir Isaac Newton was born in Wools Thorpe, Lincolnshire, in 1642. Growing up, Newton faced many hardships with his mother abandoning him at a young age and his father passing away three months before he was born (Westfall 1993). Life finally became so overwhelming for Newton that he began acting out and even made threats of burning down his house. However, eventually Newton was able to find solace by indulging himself in books which then led to his developed interest for mechanics and technology…

What is Science? How do we as humans define it? Is it by the methods people use in investigation? Or is it how we apply concepts? In Okasha’s Philosophy of Science: A Very Short Introduction (1) it attempts to force the reader to look at our own views of how science is defined and if it a satisfactory definition in the realm of Philosophy. The chapter provides several examples on how people determine science: “It is the attempt to understand, explain, and predict the world we live in,” or their…

The 15th through the 18th centuries was a time for major changes in the way the people viewed the world. It was the beginning of a movement that would forever change the way of life. I am going to discuss the major intellectual developments of Europe in the 15th through the 18th centuries. I will talk about whom some of the great thinkers were and what their new ideas were. I will also analyze how these new ideas changed the way the European people viewed their world and themselves. Starting in…
