For centuries, mankind has always pondered upon the wonders that is beyond our planet, the Earth. The invention of the telescope has vastly improved our view of the skies, sharpening our perception of the universe and penetrating ever deeper, to the furthest edges of time and space. The underlying roots to the invention of the telescope is vague and thought to have started around during the 13th century. An accidental discovery made by a glassmaker during this era, resulted in the development and
was the first chemical reaction humans learned to use and control? (worldbook.com) Chemistry has helped our world come up with new, advanced technology to benefit us all. Chemistry played a role in developing the periodic table, x-rays, and the telescope. Primarily, the Periodic Table of Elements was primarily thought to be developed by Dmitri Mendeleev. However, “Antoine Lavoisier first established the modern concept of the element in the late 1700s” (worldbook). Mendeleev published his version
Galileo Galilei, was an Italian physicist, who played a major role in the scientific revolution. He is very famous and is mostly known for Galileo. Most people know him for improving the telescope and creating it into a better version. Surprisingly, this is not the only discovery Galilei is famous for. So what is it, what else was he so famous for? He is known as the father of the scientific revolution for multiple reasons. Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564 and died January 8, 1642. Luckily
important inventions known to mankind, one has helped map out the human body, discovered cures by isolating cells that cause them, the other has helped map out the universe. By the descriptions above these invaluable tools are known as the microscope and the telescope. Many medical and technological advances would not be possible without these two inventions. There are many discoveries that could be presented today, but instead this presentation will present a couple of these for each invention and how
Newton's Negative Neglect Isaac Newton faced many hardships in his lifetime, yet managed to be internationally famous for his genius mathematical and physical discoveries, and remarkable inventions. Newton was extraordinary in the sense that he was able to endure complications in life and still be an enormous success. The majority of individuals would have cracked under the predicaments Newton faced. Newton overcame neglect by suppressing his emotions, defeating limitations of his time, and becoming
Dava Sobel the life of Galileo is told by reading the correspondence that he had with his daughter. By the existence of letters between them Galileo’s discoveries and inventions are known.

Renaissance men were some of the greatest intellectual people of the whole mankind. To be considered in this category, they had to have great intelligence in not just one subject but various subjects. Renaissance men also had made inventions or discoveries that were used in the future to make further discoveries. Sir Isaac Newton was one of the few that were categorized as a Renaissance man. He was very intelligent in various subjects like mathematics and science. He was the founder of the famous
astronomers in the past, because without their work our knowledge of space would far less than it is today. From Galileo’s first telescope to the Webb space telescope that has yet to be launched, there are so many observational technologies that made important contributions to the observation and exploration of space. The credit for the invention of the first telescope is given to a Dutch glasses maker,
Italy, he made contributions to the fields of astronomy, mathematics, and physics. He is known as the “Father of the Scientific Method", the method of testing a theory with experiments that is still in use today. He invented the first practical telescope, discovered inertia, and designed a way to build a pendulum clock. Galileo Galilei's wide-spanning interests in astronomy, mathematics, and physics changed scientific thinking and... Galileo was interested in a wide range of subjects. “As a teenager
