The Planets is the most successful and arguably the best recognized composition of Gustav Holst. Although Gustav composed some outstanding works after The Planets, none of them achieved recognition of the same level as The Planets. The Planets was composed while Holst was working as a music master. Holst had done some works before The Planets, which he considered as failures and such failures made him desperately think of a genre topic that could be phenomenal for his ideas of composition of…

Most people of the Enlightenment claimed that the world could best be studied through the power of human reason. This idea was derived after the scientific method. Soon after observing the way Isaac Newton described the world, thinkers of the Enlightenment era decided that rather than using religious scriptures to understand the world, they would instead use science and reason. Alexander Pope discusses the necessary limitations on human judgement in…

of the Dead: Issac Newton Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, cosmologist, scholar and physicist (depicted in his own day as a "characteristic savant") who is generally perceived as a standout amongst the most powerful researchers ever and a key figure in the logical upheaval. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first distributed in 1687, established the frameworks of traditional mechanics. Newton additionally made…

Sir Isaac Newton contributed in so many ways towards science and how we understand the world. Other scientists before him had ideas put on the table about motion and so forth, but it was Newton who made the connections. Newton’s young life was a struggle for him and he wasn’t always treated in the best way. But he made the best of his life and made himself into an important figure who changed how we view the world and science. “If there is no struggle, there is no progress” -Frederick Douglas…

and those people are honorable. Isaac Newton was the person who defined gravity and the three laws of motion Newton also did this experiment where he put a glass prism and a hole and made light go through the hole. Isaac Newton is honored because of all he found out for us without him we probably would not know what gravity was or how things move. We also would not understand how glass works and not be as advanced in glass we are without him. Isaac Newton work really hard to find out all of…

As far as people who are well versed in just about every aspect of life, Johannes Kepler was one of the great few. Unlike many of the great thinkers of his era, kepler was known to be doubtful about writing his laws, he never even turn in his work so people can see his significant ideas. Back then there weren’t places to submit your work in order to get credit for them. Johannes kepler was known to be a German mathematician and astronomer, which from that he was able to discover that planets…

Johann Joachim Becher Johann Joachim Becher was a very successful man with a very determined mindset. His goal was to completely redefine nature itself. With the support of various scientists and publicity for his scientific research, Becher was able to formulate his theory of combustion, known as the Phlogiston theory, and was able morph gold out of the mud of the Danube. He was a physician, scholar, adventurer, alchemist, and precursor of chemistry. Becher was an author of two books, the…

seventeenth century, newly invented instruments allowed scientists to observe and measure natural phenomena with increasing accuracy” (Sayre, 22.2). These new inventions included scientific discoveries formed by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, and Galileo Galilei. Leeuwenhoek made a glass lens that magnified over 200 times. This is what led to an improvement of the microscope which in return led to the discoveries of blood cells, bacteria, and sperm. Kepler had an impact on…

During the 17th century, an English scientist Sir Isaac Newton showed the scientific research for rocketry. Newton represented his idea of motion into three different laws. These explained how rockets work and why they work in space or any other sort of mediums. The first movement law is an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force. The second law states, acceleration of an object is exerted by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force.…

William Herschel was a British scientist and astronomer who lived and studied during the late 18th century. He had a particular fascination with space and everything it contained, and he made it his goal to understand “the construction of the heavens”. The search for new astronomical objects during Herschel’s time was huge, and at one point during his studies, he began to become very intrigued by the discovery of nebulae. This interest of Herschel was partly due to the studies of another fellow…
