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…

Such a portrait of Newton, painted mainly through the eyes of contemporary scientists, leaves an indelible impression that Newton was a simple scientist, albeit a great…

Throughout history, new ideas and inventions have been created from human intelligence effecting the way human life exist in today’s world. There have been different periods all around the world that have experienced some sort of lack development. Then there have been other times of great discovery and creation leaning towards something new and exciting.

olas Gurski Dr. John Hepp History 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…

Knighted Newton The chapter titled, Knighted Newton, is about 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…

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 death…

by giving him calculations, but Newton insisted that he needed observations and the not calculations. Flamsteed felt mistreated and threatened to withhold his data believing it was his own individual property. Eventually, Flamsteed had to hand over the data to the Royal Society, which Newton was President at the time, so it was directly handed over to him. Flamsteed was excluded from discussion on the research and without the authorization the findings that Newton discovered with his theory…

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.…
