    Sir Isaac Newton, born on the 4th of January, 1643; was an astronomer, philosopher, scientist, and a mathematician and physicist who developed the principles of modern physics. The Scientific Revolution of the 17th century credited him as a genius--his work was so brilliant and advanced that he was the first ever scientist to be knighted, which explains the "Sir" preceding his name. Although his discoveries would change the world of science, he did not care the fame that came with them. He was…

    Albert Einstein is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His papers revolutionized modern science, paved the way for many advancements in physics and mathematics, and confused college students writing papers on him everywhere. As one of these confused students, I will be going into short detail on his early life and, if I can manage to explain it, revolutionary papers. Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14th, 1879, but…

    I think that mistakes are not key in making discoveries. “Thomas Edison said that inventing was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration,” as stated in “In Praise of Careful Science.” Inventing is hard, it needs a lot of dedication and work. Few people are lucky to be motivated by mistakes, like Percy Spencer and Isaac Newton. Sometimes mistakes may start the process of making a discovery, but to make a discovery you need careful experiments and study, and those take time and work.…
