to medieval times‚ when religion dictated the propagation of acceptable knowledge of the world. Change of world knowledge came about with scientists like Copernicus‚ who disproved religious beliefs such as that the Earth was the center of the Universe. Using math and science‚ Copernicus confirmed that the Earth revolved around the Sun. Copernicus discoveries led to other scientists obtaining a new mentality that discredited some early religious beliefs. During this time‚ math and science emerged as

Ever since the time of Plato and Ptolemy there has been the belief that the Earth is the center of the universe. This theory‚ modernly known as geocentrism‚ has even shaped ancient societies. People believed that if the Earth was the center of the universe then everything revolved around them‚ literally. Many people implemented this idea into their religion.

His propounded methods of astronomical calculations in his Aryabhatta-Siddhatha which was used to make the the Panchanga (Hindu calendar). What Copernicus and Galileo propounded was suggested by Aryabhatta nearly 1500 years ago. Aryabhatta’s contribution in mathematics is unparalleled. He suggested formula to calculate the areas of a triangle and a circle‚ which were correct. The Gupta ruler‚

In Jacob Bronowski’s essay he discusses about the nature of scientific theorems. He uses multiple examples of great scientists who have ground breaking discoveries and huge impacts on humanity. Bronowski says that science looks for “unity hidden likeliness” (par.8) by creativity and imaginary. He uses a famous story of Newton discovering the gravity as an example. He says that we have a misconception of an apple falling on his head and that lead to the discovery of gravity‚ instead‚ he saw an apple
