The third and final reason is that numbers are easy for me. Equations‚ problems‚ geometry‚ addition‚ multiplication and rest are fun to me. I see this subject as hobby not as a class. Numbers are infinite; they are like the stars in the sky. Galileo Galilei said that‚ “The great book of nature is written in mathematical symbols”.

Which Galileo Galilei perfected the telescope that was originally created by Hans Lippershey. Most of the earliest versions of the telescope used a curved lens made of polished glass at the end of a tube to magnify objects to a factor of 3x. Galileo was the first person to actually see different masses far within space. It gave way for scientists to see stars‚ planets‚ and space

played a major role in bringing the Copernican theory into mainstream thinking. The first being Johannes Kepler of Germany who showed that planetary orbits are elliptical and not circular like the Ptolemaic theory said. Then the second being Galileo Galilei who invented the telescope. With the telescope he was able to observe that space was not a perfect place that Ptolemaic astronomers thought it was. He saw that there were spots on the sun and mountains on the moon. He also saw stars that weren’t

The Copernican Revolution The story of Copernican Revolution is the classic example of a major shift in worldview. So‚ before exploring what is happening in the present day and where it may be leading us‚ let us first go back and briefly recap the salient features of this earlier revolution. The parallels between what happened then and what may be about to happen now will begin a journey that will take us far beyond the current worldview to a startling new vision of reality that has far-reaching

A correction appeared in 1620‚ and in 1633 Galileo Galilei was convicted of grave suspicion of heresy for following copernicus’s position. Scholars did not generally accept the heliocentric view until Isaac Newton‚ in 1687‚ formulated the Law of Universal Gravitation. This law explained how gravity would
