TEN EQUATIONS THAT CHANGED THE WIRLD The brightest minds in history have used mathematics to lay the foundation for how we measure and understand our universe. Time and time again‚ we have proved that it only takes one simple formula to alter the course of humanity. Here are ten equations that did just that. ISSAC NEWTON’S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION Newton’s law explains why planets move the way they do‚ and how gravity works‚ both on earth and throughout the universe. First published in the

(“Scientific Revolution”) The scientific revolution helped lay the foundation to modern science by what started with science and mathematics and branch out to other areas such as

Understanding the physics of heat transfer will surely help with this experiment. Another significant fact for further understanding and performing this experiment is the discovery of the science of cooling. Several hundred years ago‚ Sir Isaac Newton made an important discovery about how fast things cool down. He found that the rate of cooling depends on the temperature difference between an object and its surroundings. In other words‚ the hotter something is‚ compared with its surroundings‚ the

tenacity in the face of adversity. Most people‚ whether they admit it or not‚ are like sheep. They want to be fed and watered and they are content. We all know what ultimately happens to sheep. Who remembers the mediocre people? I remember Sir Isaac Newton‚ but no one person who knew him. A genius basically has two choices‚ either to flee the city or country and lives in exile‚ or become a mediocre himself. But there is another choice‚ which not many people have the strength to pursue‚ and that is

The eighteenth century was a period of change for American colonists. They encountered new ways of life with the revival of religion and the introduction to science. The yearning for knowledge encouraged the colonists to partake in religious activities and explore the scientific world around them. The Great Awakening was a movement created by the Protestants and its purpose was to reestablish religious faith. The Age of Enlightenment was a movement concerning intellectuals all around the world. It
