Isaac

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist who lived from 1643 to 1727. Newton grew up with his grandmother, whereas his father passed away shortly before he was born and his mother remarried a man he did not approve of. Newton attended Trinity College in Cambridge and worked as a servant at the university until he was awarded a scholarship because he could not afford the tuition fees. In 1666, the university was temporarily closed due to an extremely contagious, mortal disease…

Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer, mathematician, translator, artist, and physicist. Nicolaus Copernicus is the first astronomer to discover that earth and the other planets within the solar system all revolve around the sun. As before the discovery, astronomers believed that earth was the center of the solar system and everyone revolved around it. Therefore, based on Nicolaus Copernicus discovery, it has contributed to astronomical history Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer,…

in the 16th century, Sir Isaac Newton and James Gregory stood out the most. Isaac created the three laws of motion, and James had important results on infinite series expansions of various trigonometric functions. Some other scientists from the 17th century were Galileo Galilei, Willebrord Snell, and Nicholas Cabeus. Some other mathematicians from the 17th century were Ole Roemer, John Collins, and Robert Hooke. These are only some scientists and mathematicians but Isaac and James had better…

Feng Xiong Artificial food, as a long-existing notion (e.g. Isaac Asimov mentioned artificial veal in his novel The Gods Themselves), has been the center of debate for long. I had always held a negative view against artificial food and its technology. However, one of my friends, who studies chemistry at college, thought highly of it. Last weekend we had a long conversation (nearly debate) about the topic whether we should advocate artificial food and the technology of making it. (Artificial…

"cosmopolitan." While the rats are flourishing, the men are rotting away in the mud. Perkins acutely observes: "The 'cosmopolitan' reasonableness of the rat emphasizes by contrast the madness of the war" (287-8). Alone among the trench poets of 1917-1918, Isaac Rosenberg had an apocalyptic vision of the horror of modern warfare comparable with that of…

Newton encompasses a majority of the Eureka myth and perfectly explains why the Eureka myth simply cannot hold any sort of veracity. Accrediting the theory of gravity to a mysterious occurrence of inspiration, namely a eureka moment, implies that Isaac Newton did nothing to theorize the law of gravity, but rather it was given to him with no supplementary research and experiments. This is a critical flaw in the Eureka…

Even Though It was only the 16th century, Blaise Pascal and Isaac Newton changed the way we see the world today in regards to mathematics and science. They turned their ideas and thoughts into realities, to help fully develop and advance themselves years ahead of their time period. The mindset of these thinkers helped them to develop some of the most elaborate theories and ideas. Isaac Newton was Instrumental in the scientific revolution of the mid-1600-1700. Along with Pascal, whose…

“Education is a poor man's haven” by Vikrant Parsai. In a translation to the proverb it's saying that education is a key element when someone living a poor life plans to live their dreams. The proverb is used in everyday society, everybody knows the smart kid in school yet often times they're not the ones to succeed since they most likely live a sheltered life yet, obviously, it's not always the case, but usually if anyone is to succeed, it's the poor kid who nobody believes will achieve…

infamous astronomer who had many ideas. He was very important during the Elizabethan era. At first nobody really listened to what he said but after years and years of work, he started to influence people. He created three major laws that influenced Isaac Newton. Even though Johannes Kepler wasn’t very well known, he greatly contributed to the knowledge of science during the Elizabethan era. Johannes Kepler published four books that showed his ideas and works. The first book that he published…

Our prior knowledge and mindset can define the way we approach new knowledge and experiences; we see what we believe, each letting our schemas have an affect on the conclusions that we draw from situations. Our perception of what occurs and the way we go about our motives are based off of a previous inclination or concept towards the situation we are preparing to encounter. This schema is useful in helping us organize and interpret information based off of our previous experiences or lessons,…
