The life and works of Edwin Hubble Edwin Hubble was born november 20, 1889, in Marshfield Missouri. When he was a child he loved both books and sports.He had a chance to be a boxer but instead chose to be a scientist/ astronomer. He is famous for many discoveries and tools used today. He before becoming a scientist he was in a war of some sort I believe it to be world war 1. He also i’m sad to tell later in life had some medical problems which resulted in his death. When he was young he was a…

The Psychodynamic Theory of Walter White Introduction Walter White also known as “Heisenberg” is the main character from the television show, “Breaking Bad”. Walt was a great chemist who contributed research to a Nobel-Prize winning experiment and co-founded the company Gray Matter Technologies with his friend Elliott Schwartz and girlfriend Gretchen. Walt later left Gray Matter which eventually went on to become a multi-billion-dollar company which greatly profited from Walt’s previous work,…

In Cherry Lewis’s "The Dating Game", she analyzes the autobiography of Arthur Holmes, the English geologist known for his advancements in radioactive dating and theories on the Earth and how it has aged. To put it into perspective, the book tracks how ideas vary vastly over one man’s day. Arthur Holmes was an influential pioneer in the findings and research of his theory in the mid 1800's, so Kelly depicts his views as time has passed. Through the use of literary analysis, autobiographies, and…

Although Alan Turing and Emilie Du Chatelet were from distinctive eras, they shared interests in the field of mathematics and science which led to achievements such as, providing the foundation of modern computing and the successful translation of Newton's book Principia to French, respectively. These historical figures encountered differences in limitations, influence from political climate, and love. Considering the evidence, each individual was successful even with such influences.…

mathematician during the Scientific Revolution. He developed the principles of modern physics that are taught today. By 1666, Newton had developed the theory of gravitation. He had also come up with ideas about the diffraction of light. In 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis”, often known as the “Principia”. Scientists say it is the most influential book on physics and, in fact, of all science. Newton’s Three Laws of Motion…

Prompt #1 Stephen Hawking, one of the most notable theoretical physicists of our time, was 21 years old when he had become diagnosed with a crippling and fatal disease. Many praise him for being able to accomplish what he had done despite his disability, but his limitations are, in reality, instigators for his achievements. What can be taken from his example is that even though constraints and downfalls are inconvenient, the result of pushing people to their limits can yield wonderful and…

physics.Isaac Newton was one of the greatest scientist and mathematician that ever lived. Isaac Newton was raised by his grandmother. He attended Free Grammar School and then went on to Trinity College while he was there he became interested in math,physics, and astronomy. Newton…

The definition of honorable is highest respect; esteem. I think honorable Font means that it is someone being praised or does something good. They deserve to be honored. Some accomplishments of Alfred Wegener is he proposed the theory of continental drift – the idea that Earth’s continents move. Despite publishing a large body of compelling fossil and rock evidence for his theory between 1912 and 1929, it was rejected by most other scientists. It was only in the 1960s that continental drift…

The butterfly effect is one of the most apparent principles from the chaos theory in Brave New World. The Butterfly Effect is the idea that small changes have the potential to have monumental effects. In the late 1800s to the early 1900s, While working on the three body problem, Henri Poincare said, “small differences in the initial conditions produce very great ones in the final phenomena.” In 1901 Fichte wrote in The Vocation of Man, “you could not remove a single grain of sand from its place…

of Cambridge Trinity College in 1661. Newton graduated class of 1668 with his Masters of Arts degree. Newton improved tremendously the reflecting telescope during college. Once graduated, Newton sought life in physics, math, and forces. Newton's studies centered on Math, calculus, and physics. Newton is the most famous for development of the three laws of motion. Newton's second law states force equals mass times…
