perfection it‚ for example Galileo Galilee. Since the fist invention of the telescope bye Hans Lippershey there have been many accusations that Lippershey stole the idea from another eye maker‚ Zacharias Jansen. Jansen is credited of inventing the compound microscope. Galileo is considered the first person to point the telescope skyward (nasa.gov). Even though Galileo’s perfection of the telescope was not perfect‚ he was able to see mountains and craters on the moon. Galileo Galilee nominated his

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’

isn’t perfect. He wants to show that there are sunspots on the sun‚ and how they got there. This goes against what was being said at the time‚ that the cosmos was perfectly made by the Creator. 2. What theories does Galileo offer here? Based on what evidence? a. One theory that Galileo makes is that the sunspots are similar to clouds like smoke. “The black spot thus impressed on the iron‚ there will arise a black smoke that will disperse in strange and changing shapes. Thus we see wood‚ straw‚ paper

“If the earth had been a flat disk‚ the shadow would have been elongated and elliptical‚ unless the eclipse always occurred at a time when the sun was directly under the center of the disk.” (2). Hawking also talked about the controversy between Galileo Galilee and Aristotle on the argument that weight did not affect gravity’s pull on the object. As we know today Galilee had proven Aristotle’s theory to be fallible because two objects of different masses do fall at the same rate. “Galileo’s measurements

On December 27th‚ 1517‚ Katharina Guldenmann gave birth to Johannes Kepler in the town of Weil der Stadt‚ what is now present day Germany. His mother was an herbalist who aided her father with the inn. When Johnnes was around five years of age‚ Heinrich Kepler‚ Johannes’ father‚ was killed fighting in Holland. Young Johannes was prone to infections and sickness that he was left with crippled hands and his eyesight was impaired by smallpox. Guests at Kepler’s grandfather’s inn were astonished at

Hawking: The man who created the theory of everything. That sounds like a person who would be interesting to meet. Not to mention that Stephen Hawking was one of the greatest physicists ever and besides he born on the 300th anniversary of the death of Galileo; the first person to study the sky with a telescope (McDaniel‚ 21). Hawking was involved in the rowing team at Oxford and it changed him; he was no longer a awkward‚ lonely genius. Hawking achieved many things in his lifetime which positively impacted

and air is easily trapped underneath it so it will be slowed. If you are dropping a 14lb bowling ball and 30lb bowling ball the difference in when they both hit the ground will be unseen. They are both the same shape so the same air resistance. Galileo did experiments to try to find a formula for falling objects about 400 years ago. He started the experiments at the age of 31 and was finished when he was 42. When he presented the idea many thought he was wrong because he couldn’t prove them. With

Part one: The Lab 1. You will be helping Galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same‚ or different‚ rates in the air and in a vacuum. Before you conduct your experiment‚ you need to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in the experiment. The hypothesis is a statement that describes “if” a certain set of circumstances are present “then” there will be a specific result that will occur. Record your hypothesis

Murry’s “Chapter Four‚” “Chapter Five‚” and “Chapter Six” highlighted multiple events in the seventeenth century that indicated a shift in society. During this time‚ there was a variety of new ideas that were proposed regarding religion‚ science‚ politics‚ and philosophy. The only topic of these chapters that I had previously learned about or discussed was the Enlightenment‚ so many of these other events‚ ideas‚ and people’s reactions to them surprised me. “Chapter 4” discussed the relationship
