The ancient Greeks contributed much to modern astronomy, inventing and utilizing the scientific method to study and chart the heavens through experiments, careful observation and meticulous records of their findings. However, they were not only good at the observational aspect of astronomy, but also the theoretical aspect as well, speculating about the Universe's size, structure and nature, and about everything that the Universe encompassed. Indeed, the Greeks were masters of this art, and their…

As time will only tell…. As the world of science continues to evolve, areas of the unknown are exposed to human life. Albert Einstein was the mastermind behind producing formulae in regards to disproving some of Isaac Newton’s theories on how gravity affected large and distant objects, especially that in relation to mass and energy. Although receiving a Nobel Prize for his work in the photoelectric effect, arguably his greatest development was the area of relativity. The basis of the theory of…

The logical revolution helped the way in science, Copernicus hypothesis gave us the capacity to never surrender and ultimately conflicting with the catholic church, demonstrated to us the best thing ever, to never quit coming clean regardless. The challenge to the truth the light to away and to never quit coming clean, this all materialized in view of exclusive one researcher, the eye of science himself Galileo Galilei! Conceived on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy, Galileo Galilei was a…

Jean Jacques Rousseau Jean Jacques Rousseau was born on June 28, 1712 in Geneva, Switzerland. He is a very important philosopher during his era. Many consider Rousseau the most influential philosopher during his time. He played a major role in advancing the way parents educated their children, as well as how they took interest in their children. His thoughts on politics greatly influenced the political state in France during the Age of Enlightenment. His most famously known work is A…

Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England on January 4th, 1643. He was born extremely premature and wasn’t expected to live, but he did and lived to make many amazing scientific and mathematical discoveries. Isaac Newton is known worldwide for many famous discoveries. He was an extremely intelligent man. Some of the most famous of his discoveries included discovering lots of information in optics, motion, mathematics, and a ton of laws and rules for physics that we use almost everyday today.…

became a symbol of the predictive and quantitative power of science. The fact that a single law could explain the motion of a cannonball and the motion of Mars revolutionized our understanding of our place in the universe. In the centuries after Newton, scientists and mathematicians created powerful techniques and concepts for understanding complex phenomena such as tides and perturbations. In 1915 Albert Einstein published a new theory of gravitation (The General Theory of Relativity) that…

the modern world, like while logarithms are generally not employed now that we have inexpensive calculators and computers, but many measurements like sound, radioactive decay and earthquakes still employ logarithms. Calculus, invented by Sir Issac Newton, helps in incorporating the movement of the solar system bodies into one mathematical equation. The equation I could relate to most was Claude Shannon’s information theory which indicates the amount of information contained in a…

While attending physics class today, Jon learned about the story of a brilliant scientist, Sir Isaac Newton among with one of his most famous questions, “If the apple falls, does the moon also falls?” Born on December 25, 1642, Sir Isaac Newton was a renowned english physicists and mathematicians, who was best known for his law of gravitational forces. In 1665, as young Isaac sits under an apple tree, he realized the fall of an apple. He proclaimed that the force pulling the apple onto the…

Galileo Galilei, known by his first name Galileo, was a mathematician and astronomer, born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. He credited with the development of the nautical spyglass into the telescope which enabled him to observe the universe as no one had before. This advancement allowed him gather evidence for, arguably, the most controversial idea of his time, heliocentrism, or the astronomical model in which the sun is the center of our solar system. Consequently, He was accused of heresy by the…

Sir Isaac Newton, born on the 4th of January, 1643; was an astronomer, philosopher, scientist, and a mathematician and physicist who developed the principles of modern physics. The Scientific Revolution of the 17th century credited him as a genius--his work was so brilliant and advanced that he was the first ever scientist to be knighted, which explains the "Sir" preceding his name. Although his discoveries would change the world of science, he did not care the fame that came with them. He was…
