a very long way in the last few years. With the development of new technology‚ science fiction becomes more and more believable and realistic. Many sci-fi books have been made into movies. This is the case with i Robot which was first a book by Isaac Asimov. This movie is very realistic and answers many “what if” questions. The movie begins giving background information on Del Spooner‚ a detective that is suspicious of the robots that have taken over everyday activities for humans. The movie

but it peaked between the 16th to 17th centuries. Despite bitter opposition from both Catholic and Protestant religious authorities‚ the views of the astronomers and scientists didn’t change. Leading figures of the Scientific Revolution included Isaac Newton‚ Nicolaus Copernicus‚ Galileo Galilei‚ Johannes Kepler‚ and many others. The Scientific Revolution is very important because it set the foundation for the modern view of the universe that we hold today. What we know about

“10 famous physicist and their contributions” 1. Isaac Newton quantified and qualified the laws of motion and gravity. He also invented the reflecting telescope and co-invented the mathematic process of calculus. 2. 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

Newton ’s Law of Universal Gravitation Gravity if one of the four fundamental forces in the universe. Though the fundamental principles of it eluded scientists until Sir Isaac Newton was able to mathematically describe it in 1687 (Eddington 93). Gravity plays a serious part in everyday actions as it keeps everything on the ground; without gravity everything would be immobile unless a force was applied (then it would move infinitely because there would be no force to stop it). Perhaps‚ the

The increased use of computers in the future‚ however‚ might have negative results and impact on our lives. In the novel Nine Tomorrows Isaac Asimov often criticizes our reliance on computers by portraying a futuristic world where computers control humans. One of the images which Asimov describes in the book is that humans might become too dependent on computers. In one of the stories

Newton’s Laws First let’s get to know some history about the man behind all of this‚ Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton‚ the man who is responsible for what we all have come to know as the “Laws of Motion” was born on January 4‚ 1643‚ which is very often displayed as December 25‚ 1642‚ if using the older version of the Julien calendar‚ in the Helmet of Woolsthorpe‚ England. Sir Isaac Newton is believed to be one of the most influential scientists known to have ever lived. His ideas became the basis
