He proposed that the farther planets are away from the sun, the longer they took to revolve around it which enabled astronomers to rank the planets in terms of distance from the sun.…
Many people believe that Isaac Newton left the biggest impact on the history of science. He is most known for developing the laws of gravity and his work in formulating Calculus with Gottfried Leibniz . Calculus is taught in schools all around the world today so are his laws of gravity, These notions were published along with many others in Isaac's “Principia Mathematica” publishing this book went on to prove Kepler's heliocentric view of the solar system. Many systems of mathematics in the book are still used today for calculating a vast selection of situations on earth and in space. Isaac Newton built the first reflecting telescope, His telescope involved using mirrors and lens unlike previous telescopes only using a lens. Isaacs telescope…
He created the reflecting goniometer, improved the Gravesand heliostat, and Fahrenheit’s aerometer (“Jacques” Britannica). His works with ballooning lead to his discovery that the volume of a gas is a direct function of its temperature (“Jacques” Physics). He called this Charles law and it is considered the second fundamental property of gasses (Schueller). He never published his works but later his student found the same thing, published it, and gave him the…
With his telescope Galileo made quite a few spectacular discoveries. The moon, Jupiter, and the Milky Way were part of these discoveries. His discoveries were accomplished with a low powered telescope, lower than the telescopes we use today.…
He also discovered the two axes. If he didn't discover this, it'd be excessively hard to discover that the Earth spins once every day.…
-Gerry got a job helping to design irrigation schemes. His task was to measure how strongly the sun shone over Israel.…
He was a very successful chemist and Physician. He is remembered as one of the fathers of modern physical science.…

Galileo was a very smart man. He created and discovered many amazing things, not all of which were accepted by the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. He created a telescope that magnified up to 20 times and began studying space in 1609, (“Galileo”). The telescope allowed him to see many things not visible to the human eye, such as the texture of the moon and Jupiter's four moons. Through the study of his findings Galileo discovered that Venus and Mercury revolve around the sun, and that confirmed his belief that the Sun was the center of the Universe.…
Here are some of the discoveries that has made.Three of his discoveries that I will be discussing will be the color spectrum,gravity,and the three laws of motion.He discovered the color spectrum by placing a prism on the window sill in a bright room to discover that it only depends on light.He discovered the three laws of motion by watching an apple fall and start to base his work off of why the apple fell and…
He created his own school and taught kids his ideas on the world. He was the very first to actually study plants and animals in a scientific way and was a champion observer. He was also the first person to have the theory that Earth was the center of the universe but although that was wrong everyone respected him so much that they believed it for a very long time until somebody used modern day technology to prove that wrong and say that the sun was the center of the universe. He was also the person who said the movements of planets was circular so then they could go on forever but that is also wrong because they move in more of an oval shaped movement. That is a very big legacy to leave behind and he will be remembered for a very long time.…
Andreas Vesalius was born on Dec. 31, 1514, in Brussels, the son of Andries van Wesele and his wife, Isabel Crabbe. Vesalius's paternal ancestors, who hailed from the German town of Wesel, came to Brussels in the early 15th century and became prominent as physicians and pharmacists. His father served as pharmacist to Margaret of Austria and later to Emperor Charles V. His great-grandfather, Johannes Wesalia, was the head of the medical school at the University of Louvain, where Vesalius started his medical studies in 1530. He matriculated as Andres van Wesel de Bruxella.…
Finally we have Sir Isaac Newton. He was an English mathematician and physicist, considered to be the greatest scientist to ever live. Newton used the works of Copernicus and Galileo in his own theory. He discovered the law of universal gravitation. He also began calculus and discovered that white light consisted of all the colors of the spectrum.…
Galileo was popular with the catholic clergy it was reported that ‘Cardinal Robert Bellarmine... had the opportunity to look through Galileo’s telescope during a banquet held…
Johannes Kepler was born the 27th of December 1571 and passed away the 15th of November 1630. He was born in Weil der Stadt in Swabia, a small town in Germany, and later moved with his family to Leonberg, which was a town nearby his birth town. Growing up, Kepler was said to be a very sickly child. He had gotten smallpox as a child, which crippled him with poor vision, and crippled hands for the rest of his life. He was a son to Heinrich Kepler, a mercenary soldier, and Katharina Guldenmann, a herbalist, and healer. His mother,being a specialist in the herbs, had decided to specialize in a new form of healing. This finding led to the suspicion of probable witchcraft. She was trailed against…
