The Three Very Important things from the 16th century Scientific Revolution.

In our previous blogs we talked about maybe the three most Important things that happened during the 16th revolution. In this day and age they all help and contribute a lot. We talked about the telescope, Isaac Newton and even gravity. Which I believe is the three main things from the 16th century.

The Telescope.

The telescope being one of the three most important things really helped us discover a variety of things. It helped us discover that we actually revolve around the sun and not the earth. It also helped us find billions of galaxies and maybe even stars. The telescope, created by Hans Liphershy then improved by Galileo Galilee himself.

Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton was one of the main scientific contributors in the 16th century. He came up with things such as gravity and a book about motion. He came up with the three laws about motion and many people still talk and learn about him today. He was one great Scientist and creator.

Gravity

Gravity being the last out of three most important discoveries in my opinion was found by Isaac Newton. Gravity is very important to us humans and without it we wouldn’t even be here. The planets wouldn’t be able to round the sun and many other mishaps would probably happen. Gravity is often talked about in this age and if we hadn’t discovered it we would of been most likely lost. Gravity one great discovery by Sir Isaac Newton.

Gravity

What is gravity?

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other, the force that causes apples to fall towards the ground and planets to orbit the sun. The mass the object has the stronger the pull. Gravity is also the reason we have weight.

How was gravity discovered?

The story goes Newton was asleep and an apple fell on his head and Newton said, “what goes up must always come down.” But In reality newton saw an apple falling from a tree, and he started to think about the unknown force that pulls objects to the ground. He then compared the straight path of an apple to that of a curved path of a cannonball and came up with the conclusion that the cannonball would eventually fall around the curve of the Earth forever, and never hit the ground.

Why is gravity important?

Gravity is very important to us. Without gravity we would not be able to live on earth. The suns gravity keeps earth in orbit around it. Without gravity we would be floating and maybe tot even alive.

Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton was one of the main contributors to the 16th century scientific revolution. He actually developed the principles of modern physics and laid it out in a book called The Philosophia Naturalis Mathematicia. He also worked on and developed the theory of color. Another thing he did was contribute to the power scenes.

Philosophæ Naturalis Mathemticia

Both books of Philosophiæ deal with mechanics. The book began with definitions and axioms and concepts of force, momentum and mass. In the books he also stated his laws of motion concerning the inertia, acceleration, reciprocal action and reaction and universal gravitation: the foundation of classical dynamics. Which I read from Newton’s Principia Mathematica.

How does Newton’s Principia Mathematica contribute to today?

Newton’s Principia is used as a study in college many people have studied it and it also contributes to some things we know about gravity. Newton’s Principia is one of the greatest achievements from the 16th century because that alone with the telescope have helped a lot.

We have now learned about Sir Isaac Newton and his most famous peice of work the Principia Which talks about gravity amongst other things. This was one great discovery that has really helped us. We appreciate the book and everything about it.

The telescope

Have you ever wondered what and where have or helped us get scientific facts? Well today I’m here to talk about one of the many things that have led to a good amount of discoveries. I’m talking about a telescope.

The telescope was made in the early 16 hundreds and it at first consisted of a concave eyepiece that was aligned with another convex object lens. But as time passed and many people found out about the telescope they began to improve it. People such as Galileo Galilee. He worked on it and got his magnification up to 20 times larger. It was then improved more.

How does or did the telescope contribute to today?

One of the very first things we have discovered while using the telescope is the fact that the planets do not revolve around the earth but rather than the sun. The telescope has also helped us discover the craters we have on our very own moon. As we learned more about the telescope and used it more we used it to help us see the weather and geography of other planets. Another thing is it helped us discover new planets and asteroids. While those are important there are multiple other things important with the telescope. The telescope has helped us make our first valid measurement of light and with the help of it we now understand gravity. Those things are just a few things that the telescope helped with.

How does the telescope contribute to today?

With modern telescopes we have found evidence of billions of galaxies or stars. While other new telescopes allow us to study objects in our universe by detecting the heat or radio waves or x-rays they admit. Since we have the telescope we have now had the opportunity to see planets around the other stars.

We have created the telescope for a good reason and it shows. We have found a variety of things that have really helped us through the years. Without the telescope we could of been lost and living lies for years. But since we have it. I got showed us the truth and way. The telescope is just one of many inventions from the 16th century.
