The Enlightenment is considered one of the most influential revolutions to occur in all of history. Having formed throughout a vast majority of the 18th century it is responsible for the formation of modern day America and also Europe. The Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, came into existence due to the fact that it was an era in which man shifted his basis of reasoning from that of one based solely on religion and spirituality to one more reliant upon science, factual evidence,…

Sir Isaac Newton changed the perspective of many scientists during his life with his discoveries. Isaac Newton was born on January 4,1643 in Woolsthorpe, England and died on March 31,1727 in London. Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician, physicist, and was a big contributor to the scientific revolution.Sir Isaac Newton was not only the son of a farmer, but he was also a premature baby and was expected to have a shorter lifespan than average people. When Newton was only 3 years old he was left to…

During the time of Isaac Newton, changes of how people perceived scientific theories of how the motion of Earth was described, and the math concepts previously known as fluxions and infinitesimal calculus became a major branch in the today’s math curriculum. Isaac Newton is known as one of the greatest mathematicians of the 17th century Scientific Revolution for his contribution to modern physics by writing one of the major journal entries for science today, Principia. Isaac was a peculiar…

With my increased interest about space following the last essay, I choose to read the essay, “James Webb telescope will truly do what Hubble only dreamed of” by Ethan Seigal. The essay was about the capabilities of the new James Webb telescope, that is being launched in October 2018, and paying respects to the telescope Hubble as well. The author started out by listing the accomplishments made by Hubble, which was first launched in 1990, and the numerous milestones that were reached with the…

The Scientific Revolution became an integral part of the reemergence of society following the middle ages in Europe. The majority of the European population remained unsure with how the world worked and relied on the church to teach science. Many intellectuals at the beginning of the Scientific Revolution did not practice science as we think of it today, but rather alchemy and other studies roughly tied to factual understandings of the world. Today we think of alchemy as science fiction, but…

For example, within Isaac Asimov’s “Reason”, QT-1 possesses logical thinking, such as the Three Laws of Robotics that govern his actions and provide rationality to his decisions. By having this “moral compass” within his positronic brain, QT-1 proves to be more efficient than…

more precise, the necessary adjustments to the model became more complicated. Four hundred years ago, Johannes Kepler announced his empirical laws (discovered experimentally) that accurately described motions of the planets. Three hundred years ago, Isaac Newton improved Kepler’s laws and provided many of the mathematical formulas that allow…

On April 17, 2039 Francis Crawford is living in a world where robots are helping humans but, he doesn’t trust them because he fears they will take over. Nobody else will listen to him when he talks about it but, Francis knows it will happen eventually it just comes sooner than he thinks.Francis Crawford was on a routine patrol when he gets a call to go to the robot factory for a murder.
