Mathematics: The Greatest Legacy from Ancient Greece to the Modern World The greatest legacy of Ancient Greece to the modern world is mathematics. Ancient Greece was the source of great mathematicians like Archimedes, Pythagoras, Euclid and Eratosthenes who provided the modern world with a strong base to the knowledge we have today. They gave the modern world hydrostatics, the volume of a sphere and the calculation of pi which is used to design impressive sea vessels, industrial tanks and…

People like Feynman – they never cease to fascinate me. I find people who have a thorough understanding in two or more subjects highly interesting. They are able to see things with more than one approach, like using two different lenses to see the world, red and blue for example. Through those lenses you can see the world “protruding”. Most people will find it odd how one can be an expert in conflicting topics. Philosophy is infamously known to be often frowned-upon by scientists. Feynman is…

Earnest Everett was born on August 14, 1883, in Charleston, South Carolina. Everett Earnest was an African-American scholar and instructor who spearheaded numerous zones on the physiology of advancement, including preparation, test parthenogenesis, hydration, cell division, drying out in living cells and favorable cancer-causing radiation impacts on cells. Earnest's legacy of achievements tailed him long after his demise, on October 27, 1941. Ernest folks were Charles Frazier and Mary Matthews…

Copernicus was the most prominent astronomer in history of the world. He landed in the Renaissance period in North Poland from 1473 to 1543. Copernicus was cared for by his paternal uncle and attended multiple universities before, he died in 1543. Copernicus brought up the idea of a heliocentric solar system, and wrote a book that is still considered the best book ever written on astronomy. He has prompted the work of many scientists after him and we still believe in a heliocentric universe.…

Have you ever needed to do a certain simple task, but wished there was a machine to do it for you? The purpose of a Rube Goldberg machine is to create a complicated system in order to complete a tiny, simple task. What is a Rube Goldberg machine you may ask? A Rube Goldberg machine is an over- engineered contraption that uses a chain reaction to accomplish simple tasks such as turning on the music, pouring a glass of water, etc. This specific Rube Goldberg machine’s task is to move the last…

Sarang Patel Mrs. Kopko Day 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…

with no charge could be in the nucleus. Chadwick made many attempts and spent a very large amount of time trying to find the neutral particles. In 1932, Chadwick finally proved the existence of the neutron. In 1935, he received the Nobel Prize in physics for discovering the neutron. Discovering the neutron led to many other discoveries and changed science, such as neutrons being used to split heavy atoms apart, and atomic fission. Chadwick played an important role in history and the atomic bomb.…

He has said many incredible quotes throughout his lifetime and made many inventions. One of his quotes that he mentioned and i am going to be talking about is ( It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity). - Albert Einstein. In my opinion this is a really powerful quote and has lots of meaning. I will start by saying that technology is taking us away from our faith and family. though this quote has been said a long time ago,and also know that even though…

When a relationship exist for that long the relationship goes through many stages of development and our relationship is still developing today. Looking back at my relationship I can analyze the different…

Even though Aristotle did not survive the ages his legacy did. In the eastern culture they call him “The First Teacher” and in the western culture he is called “The Philosopher”. Aristotle helped start up many scientific branches including organon, physics and metaphysics, Nicomachean ethics and politics, rhetoric and poetics. Aristotle will always be a major founder of science. He has been the influence of many reforms throughout time and still is. His fingerprint is almost as large as the…
