Binoculars The telescope was introduced to astronomy in 1609 by the great Italian scientist Galileo Galilei. Periscope In 1854 Hippolyte Marié-Davy invented the first naval periscope‚ consisting of a vertical tube with two small mirrors fixed at each end at 45°. Simon Lake used periscopes in his submarines in 1902. Stethoscope The stethoscope was

What makes a monster? Is monstrosity purely physical or is monstrosity a term used to denote immoral behavior? However one chooses to answer this question one must inevitably speak about the “monster” in relation to other beings in a given society at a particular time. In this essay I attempt to not only capture the “monster” as an engineered body‚ but also highlight the connection and possible tension between scientific knowledge and the morality of scientists and society during the Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment

without a little bit of conflict. Galileo Galilei‚ the protagonist of Life of Galileo‚ was put at odds with himself‚ forced to face an internal conflict.

In order to advance his findings‚ he found himself in a personal predicament; to lie about inventing the telescope to gain 500 scudi. Unashamedly‚ Galileo fabricated that it was his own

Albert Einstein developed theories of relativity‚ and won a Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect. 3. Galileo Galilei improved on the refracting telescope and discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter‚ but he is most well-known for standing up for Copernican theories of a heliocentric universe against church authority and opposition. 4.

asserting that the sun is really located in the center of the world and only revolves on its axis is a dangerous thing to do as it is damaging to the Holy Faith by making the Scriptures false (Blackwell‚ 265). He referred to the Joshua passage that both Galileo and Foscarini talked about in their argument and combated it by pointing out that the Council of Trent prohibited the interpretation of Scripture contrary to what the Holy Fathers agreed upon; which was that the sun was in the heavens and rotated

Europa was found on 8 January 1610 by Galileo Galilei. The disclosure‚ alongside three other Jovian moons‚ was the first run through a moon was found circling a planet other than Earth. The disclosure of the four Galilean satellites fortified the view that planets in our nearby planetary group circle the sun‚ rather than Earth. Galileo evidently had watched Europa on 7 January 1610‚ however had been not able separate it from Io until the following night. Galileo initially called Jupiter’s moons the

Years later‚ Galileo Galilei developed Lippershey’s invention and was able to magnify objects 40x bigger than its appearance in the naked eye. Through this‚ Galilei was able to see heavenly bodies that made him discover that four moons are orbitting around the planet Jupiter. Centuries later‚ J.P. Lemiere‚ a French citizen‚ invented the
