Galileo Galilei's Telescope


        Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, mathematician, philosopher and professor who made pioneering observations of nature with long-lasting implications for the study of physics. He also constructed a telescope and supported the Copernican theory which supports a sun-centered Solar System. Galileo was accused twice of heresy by the church for his beliefs and wrote a number of boks on his ideas.

        In July 1609, Galileo Galilei learned about a simple telescope built by Dutch eyeglass makers and soon developed one of his own. In August, he demonstrated it to some Venetian merchants who saw its value for spotting ships and gave Galileo a salary to manufacture several of them. 
        Galileo’s ambition pushed him to go further, and in the fall of 1609 he made the fateful decision to turn his telescope toward the heavens. Using his telescope to explore the universe, Galileo observed the moon and found Venus had phases like the moon, proving it rotated around the sun, which refuted the Aristotelian  doctrine that the Earth was the center of the universe. He also discovered Jupiter had revolving moons that didn’t revolve around planet Earth. In 1613, he published his observations of sunspots, which also refuted Aristotelian doctrine that the sun was perfect.

Dmitri Mendeleyev's Periodic Law

        Dmitri Mendeleyev was a Russian chemist who found periodic law. As a proffesor Mendeleyev taught first at the St. Petersburg Technological Institute and then at the Universty of St. Petersburg where he remained trough 1890. Realizing he was in need of quality textbook to cover the subject of inorganic chemistry, he put together one of his own The Principles of chemistry.         While he was resarching and writing that book in the 1860s, Mendeleyev made the discovery that led to his most famous achievement. He noticed certain recurring patterns between different groups of elements and using existing knowledge of the elements' chemical and physical properties he was able to make further connections. He systematically arranged the dozens of known elements by atomic weight in a grid-like digram; following this system he could even predict the qualities of still-unknown elements. In 1869, Mendeleyev formally p...

Isaac Newton

        Isaac Newton was a English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, inventor, philosopher, theologian who discovered the gravity.         Isaac Newton layed the foundations classic mathematic and put forth 3 movement law. His best known equation F=m.a. F=m.a; F=force, m=mass and a=acceleration.         Newton discovered the gravity but he couldn't explain for a long time because he hated under attack.

Carles Robert Darwin

        Charles Robert Darwin  was a naturalist and biologist known for his theory of evolution and the process of natural selection.         Darwin's theory of evolution declared that species survived through a process called "natural selection" where those that successfully adapted or evolved to meet the changing requirements of their natural habitat thrived while those that failed to evolve and reproduce died off. Through his observations and studies of birds, plants and fossils. Darwin noticed similarities among species all over the globe along with variations based on specific locations leading him to believe that the species we know today had gradually evolved from common ancestors. Darwin's theory of evolution and the process of natural selection later became known simply as "Darwinism".
