LIMITATION OF SIGHT AND HEARING INTRODUCTION Humans have sight and hearing limitation. Without any devices‚ our sight and hearing was limited. Most of the limitation of sight can be overcome with the help of certain optical instruments such as magnifying glass‚ microscope‚ binoculars and others.

This essay is of a woman astronomer Caroline Herschel. Herschel was the first lady to discover a comet. The reason why I chose this topic is because apart from being a women astronomer she also showed her prominence in mathematics. She hailed from a musician background but her fortune brought her to the field of astronomy and today we stand witnessing vital discoveries such as of comets‚ which is a very significant topic of research in this modern era. She has been recognized and honored worldwide

He had many inventions that contributed to the Enlightenment such as the Naturalis Principia Mathematica Philosophiae and his ideas about gravity and the invention of the telescope. Isaac Newton was born on January 4‚ 1643 and his first contribution to the enlightenment was making the telescope. In 1668 he created the telescope for optics and this invention proved the idea of color and light. He proved that light was the composite of all other colors and that light is made up of particles. A
