outside of earth‚ while leaving us with theories that affect people to this date. The three most influential scientists of this time period‚ who show why this period is considered to be a century of genius‚ were Galileo Galilei‚ Isaac Newton‚ and Johannes Kepler. Galileo‚ considered to be the great grandfather of modern physics‚ was the first legitimate scientist of this era who created a foundation for many more scientists to come and developed theories that went against the teachings of the church.

William Gilbert William Gilbert was also known as William Gilbert. He lived from 24 May 1544 – 30 November 1603. He was an English physician‚ physicist and natural philosopher. He didn’t agree with the traditional way of learning which was to learn completely from books and instead tried investigating and experiments of his own to find out information. He became famous for his experiments with electricity and magnetism which he published books on. William Gilbert first coined the term "electricity"

dispute Aristotle’s thought on movement and in doing so they developed the first thoughts on inertia. Galileo Galilei was the first state “A body moving on a level surface will continue in the same direction at a constant speed unless disturbed”. Johannes Kepler was the first to look specifically at Inertia‚ he even gave the name which come from the Latin for “laziness”. But it was Newton who echoed Gallilei with added precision and quantification buy stating that an object will remain in motion or at

The Effects of Gravity There are some people who worry that when they ’re outside‚ if they don ’t keep a good grip on the ground‚ they ’ll just go flinging off into space. They needn ’t really worry about this‚ because gravity generally keeps that sort of thing from happening. The thing is‚ no one is really sure what causes gravity‚ but the effects have been studied by many physicists and astronomers. Three of the more obvious effects of gravity are things falling down‚ weight

Joost Bürgi independently invented logarithms but published six years after Napier Johannes Kepler‚ who used logarithm tables extensively to compile his Ephemeris and therefore dedicated it to Napier remarked: ...the accent in calculation led Justus Byrgius [Joost Bürgi] on the way to these very logarithms many years before Napier’s system

at the center of the solar system and replaced it with a heliocentric theory in which the Earth was simply one of a number of planets orbiting the sun. Another great advancement during the Scientific Revolution was in the field of astronomy. Johannes Kepler proved the orbits of the planets were elliptical‚ but was unable to come up with an effective model of the solar system. That was left to Galileo‚ who in 1630 published his Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the World‚ in which he supported

Johannes Kepler- (1571-1630) Brahe’s one time assistant and German mathematician. While working mathematically with Brahe’s records on the movement of Mars‚ Kepler was ultimately able to prove that the planet did not move in a circular orbit but in an ellipse. He also discovered that the paces of the planets accelerated when they approached
