During the scientific revolution Nicholas Copernicus‚ Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton all voiced their opinions that contradicted the views of the church.

In the 1500’s and 1600’s‚ some startling discoveries radically changed the way Europeans viewed how and why things happened in the physical world. Three scientists who contributed to these changed were Nicolaus Copernicus‚ Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton. These scientist changed some beliefs of which many had been believed for all of time. For almost all of time‚ the geocentric theory was believed to be true. This theory suggested that all planets revolved around the Earth. In 1543‚ Polish scholar

The scientific revolution caused a major impact on our history today. This revolution unfolded roughly between the years of 1500-1750‚ stating with Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) to Isaac Newton9 (1642-1727).

There are many accredited with this great revolution such as; Nicholas Copernicus‚ Sir Isaac Newton‚Galileo Galilei‚ and Johannes Kepler.

Though it plays a major role in our everyday lives‚ we seldom stop to think of what it is that holds us down to this earth; gravity. Whenever I think of gravity‚ the same questions never fail to come to mind. What exactly is gravity? Could human life possible go on without gravity? How exactly does gravity work in terms of numbers and formulas? How was gravity truly discovered and defined‚ and by whom? Gravity is universal‚ and it not affects earth and its inhabitants‚ but also the entire nebulous

2.1 Who invented the first colour wheel and how/why? The 1st colour wheel was brought by Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton halved white sunlight into red‚ orange‚ yellow‚ green‚ cyan‚ and blue rays; he then joined the two ends of the colour together to show the natural process of colours. Newton associated a colour with a note from the musical scale. 3.2.2 Explain how the colour wheel works? Colors are often associated with primary‚ secondary or tertiary colours . Primary colours are those that make every

The reason they are considered the inventors of Calculus is because they were able to give a unified approach to tangent and area problems unlike the others who used specific methods.
