change of attitude came from Bacon whose confident and insistent proclamation of a New Era in the advancement of science inspired the creation of the Royal Society. Galileo supported Copernicus and developed the science of motion. In the twentieth century, Alexandre Koyré introduced the term scientific revolution, centering his study on Galileo, and the term became widely popular in his Origins of Modern Science by Butterfield. The Scientific Revolution was known all over Europe as an international

Answers to Questions Student’s Name Institution’s Name Antigone The basic conflict in “Antigone” is a distorted understanding of the Justice. Unfortunately, the vengeance and justice can be confused in the minds of some self-centered individuals. Thus, Creon, the king of Thebes, was confident that his punishment of Antigone was justified, because she disobeyed not just the request of her uncle and future father-in-law, but she disrespected the direction of the supreme

Abstract This report is express results and findings from three different experiments which were done by Galileo. The link between weights, time, angles, and lengths of pendulums . The results showed that the shorter pendulum took less time to complete full 10 swings. The length and weight has no influence on the pendulum. 1.0 Introduction The Italian scientists Galilie Galileo (1564-1642) established experimentally that heavy objects fall at practically the same rate. It was obvious to this scientists

Part 1 Law of Conservation of Mass: New Knowledge Changes the Course of Research In the late-17th century, scientists believe that a substance called phlogiston is released in the process of burning a substance. (Wikipedia.org, 2016). • Georg Ernst Stahl applied the name phlogiston to J.J. Becher’s 1660 hypothesis (Britannica.com, 2016) In 1775, French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier : • Disproved the existence of phlogiston (American Chemical Society International Historic Chemical Landmarks

the time they were discovered, it was thought that everything revolved around the earth); albeit all of these stars and planets were discovered before Galileo’s telescope. The tool still helped gain better calculations of the stars, which helped Galileo support Nicolaus Copernicus’ heliocentric (sun-centered) solar system as opposed to the geocentric (earth-centered) solar system that people in those times believed. With Isaac Newton, one of the most famous physicists, discovering most of laws of

He originally used experimental evidence to come to the same conclusions Galileo did about the universe. But didn’t voice them. 2. He ran his own printing press, and built other new instruments.

to trust Aristotle. Thus for more than 100 years, our understanding of mechanics was fundamentally flawed. It is the resolution of this flaw that brings the next major milestone in mechanics: experimentation. During the 16th and 17th centuries, Galileo Galilei and other became amongst the first physicists when they used experimentation to confirm and reject their ideas about the motion of objects. Among Galileo’s more famous experiments (though the story is now considered to be

Who are those scientists? Write briefly on their achievements in sciences. * Aristotle (384-322 BC) Aristotle was born in North Greece to a physician of Royal family of Macedonia; He studied philosophy in in Plato’s Academy in Athens. After leaving Athens, Aristotle travelled and had some study on biology. As he returned to his home town he opened a school there name Lyceum. During the Athens dominance on Macedonia, he left his land to save his life and soon after his departure from Macedonia

according Nicolaus Copernicus, all the planets, including the earth, are revolving around the sun or namely heliocentric. By 1632, an Italian scientist and mathematician Galileo Galilei published a book comparing the heliocentric and geocentric theory and said that the theory of Copernicus is more accurate. Because of this, Galileo Galilei was given an inquisition by the Catholic Church. Sir Isaac Newton from England explained all the things, from planets to laws of gravity at inertia. Sir Isaac Newton
