the Earth being the center of the universe began to change as scientists (Copernicus‚ Galileo and Kepler) researched‚ used mathematics and physics. The findings of there work led to the belief that the Sun was the center of the Universe (Heliocentric model). Copernicus used mathematics (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) to form the Heliocentric model of the universe. Galileo used physics (Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems) to support Copernicus’

SCIENTIFIC INVENTION ASSEMBLY LINE: Primitive assembly line production was first used in 1901 by Ran some Eli Olds (1864-1950)‚ an early car-maker (he manufactured the Oldsmobile‚ the first commercially successful American car). Henry Ford (1863-1947) used the first conveyor belt-based assembly-line in his car factory in 1913-14 in Ford’s Highland Park‚ Michigan plant. This type of production greatly reduced the amount of time taken to put each car together (93 minutes for a Model T) from its

studying the classical works of Aristotle and Ptolemy‚ Copernicus would have never come to the conclusion of heliocentrism that dominates what we know about the universe today. Another scientist to disagree with the geocentric system was Galileo Galilei. Galileo was the first European to study the heavens with the use of a telescope. His observations allowed him to conclude that the heavenly objects were not in fact shiny orbs of light‚ but rather made of material substances like Earth. This completely

object. It would take a man named Galileo to start the wheels of change in this field of knowledge called physics. Galileo‚ unlike Aristotle‚ proved that motion to the Earth does not depend on the weight of an object. All objects fall to the ground at the same speed. So you see‚ the speed at which an object falls at has nothing to do with the mass of the object. All objects that are released from the same starting point reach the ground in the same time. Galileo proved Aristotle wrong. He proved

Bohemian Rhapsody Bohemian Rhapsody was released October 31‚ 1975‚ and it was an instant hit; it stayed number one on the charts for nine weeks straight. Since then‚ people have tried countless times to interpret its meaning. Usually‚ the thought is that Bohemian Rhapsody is just about a man who committed murder and lived to regret it. “...when looking closer on its lyrics it is the most complex/multifaceted song ever written by Mercury‚ capable of thousands of different interpretations‚” (Kokozej)

In 1609 Kepler published The New Astronomy‚ which stated that the paths of planets are elliptical‚ not circular‚ and proved Copernicus’ heliocentric theories. After Kepler came Galileo Galilei. He was the first to use a telescope‚ which he used to discover 4 moons around Jupiter‚ provided concrete evidence of a heliocentric universe‚ popularized the Copernican (heliocentric) system‚ and articulated the concept of a universe subject
