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

generation of dedicated man and woman who continue to add new insight of astronomy great spectrum of universe. Some scholars may add a little, some may add a lot, yet some may change our understanding of a matter in question. Such man were Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Newton. Those man are credited with revolutionizing the study of astronomy. The heliocentric theory formulated by Copernicus caused strong turmoil within astronomy, physics and cosmology. Many man of science considered it as contrary

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

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

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

Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres. (Sheila, 2010) In his book Copernicus proposed a heliocentric Universe meaning the earth revolved around the Sun. It also influenced many of the great scientists who would come after. In 1610 Galileo Galilei used a new invention the telescope to discover four moons around Jupiter and that there were many more stars in the sky than could be seen with the naked eye. While he did

society when man realized the role of males from the concept of sprouting seeds, consequently private property was introduced. In other words, the journey of equality between males and females over the history is exactly like pendulum theory of Galileo Galilei in terms of its motions between the two extremes from matriarchy to patriarchy systems and going through equality point. Gender equality varies also between cultures in the same period of time , could it be religion, region, continent, race

and changed society as a whole. The National Geographic Society (1996) website, since the first telescope was invented, there has been much advancement in the design and the types of telescopes used. Besides the early refracting telescope used by Galileo or the more modern reflecting telescope used by Hubble, the telescope has changed the way look at the cosmos and what we know of the universe. Telescopes are classified by the task performed. Some names given to the different types of telescopes are
