  • Discoveries Of Scientists Of The Age Of Reason - 523 words
    Discoveries of Scientists of the "Age of Reason" The discoveries of many scientist and great thinkers of the "Age of Reason" have all contributed to the entire scope of how we view astronomy today. The shift was of a less secular thesis to one based on humanism and the Scientific Method. There were several great thinkers that led to this discovery on the scientific level, which chiefly began and ended with the astronomers/scientists Copernicus and Isaac Newton. Copernicus was a mathematician as well as a scientist whom found the stars fascinating. He did, however, find a great flaw with the mathematical results of the universe being a Earth- centered one. He then saw that if the universe was ...

  • Galileo Galilei - 717 words
    Galileo Galilei Galileo Galilei's father, Vincenzo Galilei (c.1520 - 1591), who described himself as a nobleman of Florence, was a professional musician. He carried out experiments on strings to support his musical theories. Galileo studied medicine at the university of Pisa, but his real interests were always in mathematics and natural philosophy. He is chiefly remembered for his work on free fall, his use of the telescope and his employment of experimentation. After a spell teaching mathematics, first privately in Florence and then at the university of Pisa, in 1592 Galileo was appointed professor of mathematics at the university of Padua (the university of the Republic of Venice).

  • Johannes Kepler - 880 words
    Johannes Kepler Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571 in Weil der Stadt, Germany. Kepler's grandfather was supposedly from a noble background, and once Mayor of Weil. However, Kepler's father became a mercenary who narrowly avoided the gallows. Kepler's mother, Katherine, was raised by an aunt who was eventually burned as a witch. In later years, Katherine herself was accused of Devil worship, and barely escaped from being burned at the stake. Kepler had six brothers and sisters, three of which, died in infancy. In his youth, Johannes was described as: ...a sickly child, with thin limbs and a large, pasty face surrounded by dark curly hair. He was born with defective eyesight-myopia ...

  • The Supreme Sir Isaac Newton - 477 words
    The Supreme Sir Isaac Newton The Supreme Sir Isaac Newton Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was the greatest and most prominent physicist to ever walk upon the Earths surface, yet we have the Anti-Newtonians who say that Sir Isaac Newton should not be considered the greatest/most influential physicist of the past or present. However, in Dr. Michael Harts book The 100 Most Influential People in History Sir Isaac Newton is listed as the second most substantial person in history with Muhammad being the first, and Jesus Christ being the third. Surely it must take a great man to reach a status higher than Jesus Christ! So what was it that Sir Isaac Newton did to elevate himself above the other physici ...
