The crude acetaminophen was expected to be dark in color. This was due to the fact that the impurities were formed from oxidation of the starting phenol. The intensity of this was enough to impart color to the crude acetaminophen.…
Meanwhile, in the turbulent year of 1666, while England fought with Holland and suffered plague and a terrible fire in London, Newton made three of his greatest discoveries. In the field of optics, the study of light, he developed and proved his theory that white light is composed of a mixture of other colors of light, which, when split apart by a prism, form a band…
The artistic director of the Bangarra Dance Theatre, Stephen Page noted of the spiritual aboriginal dance of ochres, the following, “As substance ochre has intrigued us. Its significance and the myriad of purposes, both spiritual and physical has been the driving force behind this collaboration. The portrayal of each colour is by no means a literal interpretation, but the awareness of its spiritual significance has challenged our contemporary expressions.” This quote tells us that the traditional use of ochre within aboriginal culture is important and significant and the portrayal of each colour within the dance is not a literal interpretation but rather the portrayal of each colour does not uphold exact meaning but shows us contemporary interpretations.…
Light is apart from time, space, and matter, yet it fills the voids of our existence and sustains all life. Light has no mass, no distance, and is constant in time and presence. Christ is the "Light of the World". This idea had remained the same throughout the time period and was supported in the fields of science which left this idea to go unchanged. Many scientific reformers such as Isaac Newton, and Nicolaus Copernicus had said that God was the source of their knowledge and the reason for their…

Sir Isaac Newton laid a scientific foundation for color when he first experimented with a prism in 1666. White light is dispersed by a prism, such as the one Newton used. The prism resolves the beam of white light into its colored components, known as the spectrum. (Lovell, 1988) Newton named the seven main…
Introduction Throughout history, many brilliant individuals have impacted the world with their ideas and discoveries, and many of those influences live on today. During the Scientific Revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries, a breakthrough in scientific discovery brought forth numerous findings that greatly contrasted many of the theories and thought processes that dominated at the time. One man in particular, Sir Isaac Newton, took the world by storm from 1643 to 1747. As a student, Newton was not a stellar academic and was overlooked for many of his advancements as a young man. Little did his family and professors know that Newton would revolutionize the world of science.…

Newton understood that his findings weren’t entirely his; they merely, but greatly, added to and reinforced the claims of past scientists. Before the Revolution in Astronomy, the Aristotelian-Ptolemaic…
The scientific realm was still dominated by Newtonian thinking, even though Sir Isaac Newton issued his dynamic compositions in the mid-1600s. Newton enlightened everyone on the fields of physics and mathematics so that the world can figure nature out by the use of proper scientific methods. This Newtonian Era…

In 1604, Kepler published a book called Astronomiae Pars Optica (The Optical Part of Astronomy) Kepler approached optics by breaking organic reality into what he considered to be ultimately real units. He developed a geometric theory of lenses, providing the first mathematical account of Galileo’s telescope. Also Newton conducted a theory called the theory of colours it considered “colours to be the result of the modification of white light”. Christiaan Huygens also wrote many books in optics like Opera reliqua (also known as Christiani Hugenii Zuilichemii, dum viveret Zelhemii toparchae, opuscula posthuma) and the Traité de la lumière.…

First let’s get to know some history about the man behind all of this, Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton, the man who is responsible for what we all have come to know as the “Laws of Motion” was born on January 4, 1643, which is very often displayed as December 25, 1642, if using the older version of the Julien calendar, in the Helmet of Woolsthorpe, England. Sir Isaac Newton is believed to be one of the most influential scientists known to have ever lived. His ideas became the basis for the physics we all know and use today, well some of us. He not only studied optics, astronomy, and math, he even ended up creating what we all know as “calculus”(Mathematics). Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician and physics scholar who transformed…
