The Age of Enlightenment was a time that saw the separation between science and religion disappear. A new mindset had been born during this time period, and these motives lead to the challenge of authoritative figures. This clash between an already established aspect of society, and a new and growing concept created advancements and developments amongst many subjects including medicine, science, technology, and also alternative beliefs. At this time, the development of science led to rational…

The Father of Modern Science: Galileo Galilei Galileo Galilei is an important historical figure who is known as the Father of Modern Science. He was a polymath meaning he excelled in many sciences. He was a physicist, an astronomer, a mathematician, and an excellent inventor. Galileo greatly affected history and if he had not made his discoveries it is possible that we could be living in a very different world today. In the beginning… Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy…

In the future, there is a police group that hunts down mean robots who disguise as humans. The trouble is, all of these robots look exactly like humans! Rick Deckard is one of these people, and today he needs to catch a robot that has escaped. What worries Rick is that the robot he has to catch is a smarter model than others. Since he knows that the robot is a good singer, he decides to go to the music center to look for the robot. At the music center, Rick sees the robot! He tries to get…

Introduction It was during his regular job as an American historian of science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that Thomas Kuhn realized that theories which were ones believed to be true, were actually not really true, since they were at some point replaced by others, which were also believed to be more true than the previous ones(Bertie.ccsu.edu., n.d.) For instance, the common belief that the earth is at the center of the universe was eventually replaced by Galileo Galilei’s…

After reading the book on enlightenment it goes into many details and is explain very well. For example the enlightenment was started back in the 18th centuries, however it gave many people the opportunity to find many reasons of truth without being guided by others, and it showed people a different route instead of just one. One of the main targets during this period of time was religion. Why? Because religion dealt with having your own belief and with comes with learning new point of views…

Archemetes the War Hero William Catanese Archimedes is considered one of the most known mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and inventors of ancient times. Although much of his life is unknown, he is still a great contributor to mathematics, in which he did modern calculus and associated mathematics to physical occurrences, Founding Hydro statistics, which include an exclamation of the principle of the liver. Archimedes has also originated an exact number for pie, explaining the spiral it's…

Egg Drop The egg drop project was a way to see nature’s effect on itself for example, how an egg can survive a fall? It combine a majority aspect of physics, Velocity (both initial and final), Acceleration, Displacement, and Time to find how fast the egg within the vessel will go when drop from the top of a rail in the back of the school. Initial Velocity will determine the speed the egg left its initial position, the final velocity will determine the speed of the egg before crashing,…

Although technically not invented in the Golden Age of Islamic Culture, the Astrolabe developed its full potential of varying uses during such time. Although no models are known to survive, it is believed that the astrolabe was first developed by the Greek in around 150 BCE. The evidence to support this comes in the form of documented use by the famous astronomer Hipparchus who had used this device to help create a 2D representation of a 3D sky. Moreover, it wasn't until the growing scholarly…

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…
