101 June 10, 2016 Sir Isaac Newton and his Involvement in the Scientific Revolution Sir Isaac Newton, a renowned scientist known for a multitude of discoveries and inventions, was a critical factor in the Scientific Revolution. Sir Isaac Newton may not have made his contributions to the scientific revolution “from scratch,” he instead used prior discovered knowledge and made his own improved hypotheses which he later proved through experimentation. The first of Sir Isaac Newton’s…

famous mathematician and physicist, Sir Isaac Newton. Newton’s name is recognized by almost everyone today due to his math and scientific studies. In the world of mathematics he is known for creating the calculus. However, there are a few people who would disagree with that. Some people would argue that, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz is the man who created calculus and because of that there was a dispute that happened between the two mathematicians. Sir Isaac Newton was born in England in the year…

refers to historical change in thought and belief, to change in social and formal organization. This revolution began in Europe roughly between 1500-1700. It started with Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) who stated a heliocentric cosmos, and ended with Isaac Newton (1642-1727) who proposed universal law and a Mechanical Universe. But, some historians have cut this back, claiming that it properly extends only to the publication of Newton's Principia (1687) or to his Opticks (1704) or to Newton's…

The story of Abraham and Isaac from the Bible is quite an interesting one. The story tells of God ordering Abraham to bring the best thing that he owned to the top of a mountain and sacrifice it there. If the best thing that Abraham owned was something simple then this story would be a nice story where a man shows his devotion to God by giving up something simple yet beloved in His name; however, what Abraham decides to be his best is not so simple in the slightest. Isaac, the son of Abraham,…

The History Behind the Conflict of Flamsteed and Newtown John Flamsteed, an English astronomer, has put a huge impact on the field of science, which is still important today. Being the first astronomer of England, Flamsteed founded Greenwich Observatory and discovered over three thousand stars. In the beginning, Flamsteed was struck with a disease, crippling rheumatoid, that forced him to leave school and study astronomy on his own. Flamsteed was fascinated by the solar eclipse, which brought…

Nicolaus Copernicus wasn't only an exceptional scholar or a famed astrologist, but a pioneer who paved the base of space travel. Known mostly for his astronomical accomplishments, Copernicus also thrived in other fields such as medicine and economics. Cleary, Nicolaus Copernicus is the most influential person in european history because his accomplishments in economics, and astrology, and his strong will to defend his theories despite the population opposing him. Although Copernicus is…

“You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.” Galileo Galilei made Mathematics and philosophy his profession, against his fathers thoughts that he should go into medicine. He emerged as the scientist who discovered four of jupiters moons. Without Galileo, we probably wouldn't have known that the speed an object falls is not proportional to its weight. Galileo was the oldest of Vincenzo Galileis children. He was sent to the university of piza to study…

Isaac Newton Probably one of the most amazing scientists who ever lived was Isaac Newton. Not only was he a scientist, he was also an astronomer and mathematician. Although he discovered many things, he was well known for the development of the theory of gravity. This theory explained the three laws of motion and universal gravitation. Isaac Newton was born January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England. After three months before his birth, his father who was a farmer had unfortunately passed away.…

The Most Insurgent Scientist Many people have heard of Einstein, “he’s the really smart guy with the crazy hair.” Yes, he is that, but he is so much more than just the picture students see of him in their science classes. Einsteins is one, if not the, most influential scientific figures this world has ever seen. Walter Isaacson delves deep into Einstein's life to tell us that he is more than just the commercialized image we see him as today. Einstein His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson…

From the first activity, I thought Bradley’s words were melodramatic but as the lesson progressed I realised there was truth to his perspective. Taking inspiration from my initial thought my group decided to exaggerate the first scene starting with Aastha, Erin, Georgia and Maddi who all played the roles of futuristic robots. They conveyed their role by having their face faced downwards and only when I switched the ‘button’ on with an elongated ‘beep’ sound they began to start operating. They…
