This paper will discuss the life of the German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer Johannes Kepler. Who had a great impact in the 17th century scientific revolution, because of his development of the three laws of planetary motion. He is also remembered for the legacy he left that later provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation. “Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571 poor and sickly in what is now Germany. His father left home when Johannes…

The Victorian period during which The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and “The Birthmark” were written (1837-1901) was characterized as a time of technological invasion. Science was rapidly introduced into the lives of individuals and it was evident that science was going to dramatically change the world. Inventions galore, combined with the professionalization and institutionalization of science, challenged authors, including Robert Louis Stevenson and Nathanial Hawthorne, with the task…

Newton’s 3 laws of Motion 1. If a body is as rest it remains at rest or, if it is in motion, it moves with uniform velocity, until it is acted on by a resultant force. 2. Acceleration is dependent on the forces acting upon an object and the mass of the object. Therefore, if the force is increased, the acceleration is increased. And the more mass the object has, the more acceleration decreases. So the resultant force (F) is equal to mass (m) times acceleration (a) (F = ma). 3. For every action,…

The Reformation, Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment are all intertwined. The Reformation was about religion, the Scientific Revolution was about proving that the Sun was the center of the Universe, and the Enlightenment was an intellectual and cultural movement. The Reformation movement in the fifteen-hundreds changed the way Europeans looked at themselves. The Protestant Reformation was an important development that shifted the way marriage and family life was viewed. “Married life…

When the Scientific Revolution first emerged in the mid 1500’s, it marked a historical change in the way people would perceive the universe and how it worked for the next 200 years. Starting with Copernicus and ending with Newton, a new type of evolution was occurring: the evolution of thought and knowledge. The major thinkers involved in the revolution also included Galileo, Bacon and Descartes. For the purpose of this essay, I will be discussing the similarities and differences in thought…

As we discover more and more about nature, we find it that nature can be described mathematically. Mathematics plays a fundamental role in…

Nicolaus Copernicus was one of the most innovative astronomers during renaissance, he is best known as “The founder” of modern astronomy. He became famous thanks to his studies on the sky and the revolutionary motion of the earth finding out that the theory of geocentrism, at that time the one believed truth by people, was wrong. Instead of it he proposed the theory of heliocentrism which, in contrast to the geocentric one, proposes the sun at the center of universe instead of the earth. After…

Microscopy is one of science’s greatest innovations. The microscope has revolutionised countless areas of scientific research and has become an icon of science itself. From Anton van Leeuwenhoek discovering micro-organisms in the 1670’s to the highly powerful atomic microscopes used today, microscopy has furthered scientific knowledge in many, many ways [1]. It has practical applications in very many areas of research such as biotechnology, materials science, microbiology, environmental science…

1. The pendulum of a clock swings back and forth. At what position will its kinetic energy be the greatest? At what position will its kinetic energy equal its potential energy? When the pendulum of a clock swings back and forth, the pendulum reaches its maximum potential energy at the top of the swing, and it reaches its maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing. In the absence of frictional forces, the pendulum’s kinetic energy will be equal to its potential energy at the bottom of the…

At the time of Galileo a Dutch inventor invented something that can look for far away objects. It was a spyglass which Galileo took and improved upon. His improved version was a telescope. According to James Owen, “..but his version boosted the viewing power to eight-times magnification(James Owen).” This shows that Galileo made the telescope stronger so people can see distant objects. His telescope was better than the ones at the time. Also Victoria Jaggard wrote, “But in the fall of 1609…
