Some accomplishments of Alfred Wegener is he proposed the theory of continental drift – the idea that Earth’s continents move. Despite publishing a large body of compelling fossil and rock evidence for his theory between 1912 and 1929, it was rejected by most other scientists. It was only in the 1960s that continental drift…

the Force Be With You Newton's second law, in short, states that force equals mass times acceleration. Newton was a pretty smart guy, developing the three laws of gravity, creating the reflecting telescope, and developing calculus. Newton's second law has helped us to develop almost anything that moves, from cars to planes. Newton's life is one of much interest, & a great story to tell. Isaac Newton was born into a family of farmers in Woolsthrope England, the year of 1643 January 4th. His…

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,…

William Herschel discovered the first planet in recorded times, we know it as Uranus. Herschel interestingly enough was actually a musician and an amateur astronomer when he first laid eyes upon Uranus. Herschel does not credit his discovery to chance, rather it was a result of his diligent studies of the heavens that allowed him to discover the planet. At the time Herschel had been surveying the skies at night trying discover all the double stars, he was using his home made telescope which was…

Best phrased by surgeon, author, and inventor Leonard Shlain in his book, Art & Physics, “Revolutionary art and visionary physics are both investigations into the nature of reality.” However dissimilar Vincent van Gough’s Starry Night may seem from Isaac Newton’s second law of motion, according to Shlain, this is what fundamentally unifies the two subjects. Physics is the study of the natural world, while art is the representation of it. Art has been part of our culture longer than any of the…

This paper does a excellent job of outlining the Islamic influence that was placed on the Renaissance. All three questions were answered in complete detail and there was plenty of support for the claim made in this paper. The thesis of the paper is clear and accurate. Based off of this paper, one can gather although it wasn’t recognized by everyone, Islamic teaching was the main factor that held up the Renaissance. Gloria moved onto defending her point by defining what the Renaissance was…

History Paper Draft Galileo Galilei once said, “I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” Despite the heavy opposition Galileo Galilei had to go through regarding the church, he was a great man of science. His discoveries and achievements had a huge impact on the Scientific Revolution and they are still widely used today in modern science. David Wootton, the author of Galileo: Watcher of the…

the greatest names in the history of human thought,” Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, scientist, and mathematician (Domski 1). His discoveries dealing with optics, gravity, and math greatly influenced the world and the effects are lasting still today. Sir Isaac Newton, though widely remembered for his mathematics and scientific accomplishments, was a man of God, whose faith can clearly be seen throughout his life. Newton was born on Christmas day in 1642 (January 4, 1643 in today’s…

believe the theory theory and it was accepted and not questioned for nearly two thousand years (Gascoigne) By the 18th century, scientists began to question the existence of the atom again, but it was not until the 19th century when English scientist John Dalton made significant progress by researching the matter. Many of his ideas were based off of Democritus' original ideas and the experiments he conducted were set up according to Democritus' works as well. He revived and revised Democritus'…
