world. These ideas were what started off the Scientific Revolution. There were many scientists that contributed to the Scientific Revolution such as Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei but Sir Isaac Newton was one of the most influential scientists who ever lived. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published a book called Principia Mathematica. This books publishing marked the high point of the Scientific Revolution. One of the most revolutionary theories of the Scientific…

Sir Isaac Newton was a famous English physicist and mathematician. He is most famous for his theory of gravity where the myth is an apple hit him on the head making him wonder about gravity. He also made many new laws of motion that we still use today. And finally, he made the book Principia It was said to be the “the single most influential book on physics and possibly all of science.” So Sir Isaac Newton was very important to the scientific revolution of the 17th century, and these are the…

Sir Walter Raleigh Walter Raleigh was born in Devon England in 1554 (Aronson 13). His parents were not very wealthy and Walter was not expected to to inherit anything of value (14). Even though he did not come from wealth Sir Walter Raleigh would later become a well known English explorer. Sir Walter was one of the bravest English explorers to ever live. Walter first appeared in history when he enrolled at Oriel College in 1568. He was a very tall man for his day he was said to be over six feet…

Introduction! Hello, today I will be talking about John Wallis, which John Wallis is known for the partial credit in the Infinitesimal Calculus. What impact did John Wallis have? In 1655 John Wallis discovered the Infinite Product π4 = 23x43x45x65x67xxx, and his colleague William Brouncker transformed this into the Infinite Continued. Which today is what we know as Calculus. Which if you don’t know what Calculus is, it is the branch of mathematics that deals with the finding and derivatives…

The theme of machines and morality explored in class inspired this piece along with several short stories, novels, and other science fiction media I’ve experienced on my own. The class discussions about nonhuman rights and the machine morality helped me in developing my ideas for how an A.I. like G.O.D. would function and how it would interact with the humans it was made to oversee. I believe this story fits into the Science Fiction genre because of the A.I. narrator, the concept of living…

Doomsday It's march 30 2097 , and the electronics have taken over . Yesterday at 2:30 pm the government put out a message saying stay inside your house . The White House was in middle of a demo for these “Robots” that were built to help with security for the president. As they said in the message the robots just “got a mind” of there own and toke control over the White House . The government has no control over these robots and they have no idea what they are capable of . The bots have the…

Sir Isaac Newton was one of the greatest minds of the 17th century Scientific Revolution. He helped develop the principles of modern physics and also a new type of math called calculus. His book Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica has been called the single most influential book on physics (“Sir Isaac Newton”, 2014). Despite all this, he remained a humble man who once said, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants (“Isaac Newton”, n.d.)”.…

The concept of mechanical or artificial machines have existed since ancient times. We are at dawn of the age of robots, we have only created machines that are capable of holding a drill, opening a door, or going up stairs. But I have successfully created the most technological and innovative robotic design which are comprised of hundreds of microbots guided by a main robot. This mechanical agent has a instant stream of communication from human brain to robot, unrestricted design (capable of…

What we know the from the world of Science from today is built upon and formed by an extensive list of historical experimentalists. Today, we rely on studies from scientists such as Galileo, Kepler and Newton and to understand science a little better we study their classical, as online sources define classical as representing an exemplary standard” as well as “traditional and long-established in form or style” (Google definitions), interpretations. These scientists submitted several years to the…

Sir Walter Raleigh grew up in a farmhouse near the village of East Budleigh in Devon. The youngest of five sons born to Catherine Champernowne in two successive marriages, his father, Walter Raleigh, was his mother’s second husband. Like young Walter, his relatives, Sir Richard Grenville and Sir Humphrey Gilbert were prominent during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Raised as a devout Protestant, Raleigh’s family faced persecution under Queen Mary I, a Catholic, and as a result, young…
