Being a physicist and mathematician‚ Isaac Newton contributed to the scientific revolution with his theories of gravity and the laws of motion. Although his findings were controversial at the time they are now very important to modern science. Because of his discoveries science has changed dramatically. Isaac was born in Woolsthorpe‚ England on January 4‚ 1643. He was born into the scientific revolution so later on in his life he was one of the major contributors of this era. Through out his life

Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution started in England the 1700’s in the textile industry. The Industrial Revolution is the transition to man made machines. Textiles is where cloth is woven by workers. By the 1800th century all of that was done by machines. England had vast resources of coal‚ iron‚tin‚ wool‚ lead‚ and cotton; also it was close to water for canals (Document 1). One of the most important reason to why the Industrial Revolution started in England and not somewhere else

They each had their own unique ideas and strived to answer the same questions‚ but their theories often clashed‚ leading to great discussion. Even with different views‚ their work has a great number of similarities and they often looked to one another in order to develop their own positions.

Kuhn describes the work of scientists in a scientific field as being conducted under the banner of a ‘paradigm’‚ which he defined as “universally recognized scientific achievements that for a time provide model problems and solutions to a community of practitioners” 1 . Citing numerous historical examples‚ Kuhn explained

Paradigm is a sum of accepted metaphysical assumptions‚ theories‚ methodologies‚ manuals and techniques. In Kuhn’s theory there are three periods of science‚ which are Normal science‚ Crisis and Scientific Revolution. Normal science is the continuation of pre-scientific era that formed many opinions‚ but had no consensus or general agreement about how one should
