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…

Courtney Heemsoth Physics 1030 Research Paper Johannes Kepler How does Johannes Kepler continue to influence the world of mathematics and physics? Johannes Kepler did so by creating what is known as the laws of planetary motion which help explain the motion of planets which orbit around the sun. His discoveries were a breakthrough for this time period which occurred between 1571-1630. This was so shocking to the public because no one was able to explain the planets and the orbits in this time…

Do you ever wonder who comes up with the material we learn at school, such as physics? I know, I do! I’m pretty sure you do to. Not only has this changed the way we learn at school but as well as changing out history of math and physics. Galileo, made experiments to which we could advance from them later on in the future. Well we can thank Galileo, for coming up with the solution to our problems. However, Galileo was basically trying to find the speed of two different objects falling at the same…

Newton A man so dedicated to his work, he stayed single all of his life. Sir Isaac Newton was a brilliant man and he strived to make a better future for the world in science. Newton had a quality life growing up and was able to give back to science as he got older. Newton's life from a child to an adult, accomplished so much starting with his childhood. Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, 1642, at Woolsthorpe, a village in southwestern Lincolnshire, England. His father died two months…

Johannes Kepler had an unique life which had many peaks and many valleys, he was born December 27,1571. His childhood was very rough because his parents were very poor and he was a sickly child. Their family had no money for medicine and his illness. Fortunately his intelligence bought him a scholarship to a very nice college. he first wanted to become a theologian. He studied for it but thought that it would be one of his hobbies instead. Then he decided he wanted to become a mathematics…
