I am Nathaniel Navarrette and my scientist is Isaac Newton. His theory was that heavier objects fall don’t fall faster than light objects, they fall at the same pace. The pope sent him to jail writing a book about gravity. The pope sends people to jail for no reason but a discovery. If the pope asks me why Isaac Newton should be free i’ll tell him that he doesn’t deserve to. He goes to jail for a discovery and not get an award or something. So he writes a book about heat, motion, light, and gravity and goes to jail. The evidence that says he found gravity is “Newton remembered that a falling apple had prompted him to think of gravity.” So basically an apple made him think of gravity. So the pope shouldn’t toss him
During the Scientific Revolution, in the 17th century, several philosophers began to doubt scientific knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. One of those philosophers, Galileo, discovered a new innovation that could have changed the viewpoint on the Church’s Scripture accuracy. Galileo discovered that the sun stayed still as the Earth revolved around it, which was the opposite of what the Church taught. During this time, it was very dangerous for Galileo to oppose the Church. This was because doubts about the Church would lead to a loss of its power and the people’s trust, which was unwanted.
In science, theories of some scientists like Galileo and Copernicus were refused and punished because they were opposite the belief of the Catholic
Lisa Jardine’s Ingenious Pursuits: Building the Scientific Revolution provides a comprehensive breakdown of the discoveries that defined the Scientific Revolution and the history behind them. The story of the scientific revolution truly begins with a separation between the Catholic Church and the denizens of Europe brought on by the Protestant Reformation. This separation led directly to the questioning of the church and what they deemed to be true. The growing suspicion of the church applied not only to the politics and religious views but the scientific “facts” the church was built upon. The suspicion of these scientific facts quickly grew to an open challenging of these facts, The Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution is something we have all studied in our grade school years and the discoveries of people such as Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei are well documented and arguably common knowledge but Jardine’s book Ingenious Pursuits encapsulates the scientific revolution in a new light. Jardine accomplishes this by telling the stories of some of the greatest achievements of the Scientific Revolution. These stories reveal the collaborations of some of histories most brilliant minds as well as the secrecy amongst them and uncover the motives that fueled many of these accomplishments.
In 1969, Republican Richard Nixon took office as the US President. He strongly opposed the liberal view that crime is a result of unfortunate socioeconomic circumstances (347). Instead, he reinterpreted the cause of crime in order to support his policies. Nixon “argu[ed] that the lenience of the criminal justice system was in fact to blame [for crime]”; as a result, he called for “more convictions” (349). Although the administration did not provide much tangible change due to the limitations of federal jurisdiction, Nixon’s interpretation of the relationship between poverty, drugs, and crime was highly influential.
Another key position in the 2016 presidential election is gun control. Hillary Clinton wants to expand background checks to more gun sales by closing the gun show and internet sale loopholes. She also wants to keep guns away from the severally mentally ill, domestic abusers, and other violent criminals. Donald trump on the other hand wants to focus on improving mental health treatment to catch mass shooters before a crime. He also wants to focus on fixing the “broken” system, instead of expanding background checks.
Dear Mr. Pope, My names is Ivan Cortes and the Scientist name is Galileo galilei his theory is that he was the first one to make a telescope to see the space and the moon and all the planted in space he found like mountain and valley and the surface of the moon and sunspot and the biggest moon ever also called as Jupiter and the phases of the planet Venus
So this are the reasons why should you take him out of jail. not that much people know how gravity worked and he just wanted to give them an answer to that question. Isaac newton did not harm any one trying to solve the way how gravity works. Sir Isaac newton studied to trinity college in cambridge when he was young.
Isaac Newton There were many contributing factors to the outcome of Newton’s success and effects on the Enlightenment. Sir Isaac Newton is the best example of someone who had the worst circumstances and worked a great deal for everything he accomplished to make the best of it. This includes his early life disadvantages, the years at Cambridge, and the seemingly unconquerable problems he encountered in his late lifetime. Isaac Newton was the figurehead of the Enlightenment, and his impactful contributions range from the invention of Calculus to his famous work Principia. Newton was born in Woolsthorpe England 1642, on Christmas Day.
Galileo Galilei was a very influential and controversial astronomer, scientist, mathematician, teacher, and physicist. His life began in the sixteenth century and ended in the seventeenth, in which he penned several books that supported the Copernican theory of a heliocentric solar system. In the words of Drake S. (1957) “... the works of Galileo are well written, and throw light upon the origins of modern science…”(Pg. 2) Although Galileo was soon deemed a heretic by the Roman Catholic church, he continued diligently challenging Aristotelian thought and doctrine and expressing his support of the Copernican theory. As he continued to make discoveries that supported this theory, the church continued to label him as a heretic, and eventually
In the history of the Catholic Church, no episode is so contested by so many viewpoints as the condemnation of Galileo. The Galileo case, for many, proves the Church abhors science, refuses to abandon outdated teachings, and is clearly not infallible. For staunch Catholics the episode is often a source of embarrassment and frustration. Either way it is undeniable that Galileo’s life sparked a definite change in scientific thought all across Europe and symbolised the struggle between science and the Catholic Church.
I'm going to be defending my client Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton was born in England of 1463 on January 4. He was the only son of a local farmer also named Isaac Newton who died three months before Sir Isaac Newton was born. When Isaac Newton got older he started to study the study of gravity and experiment of how things fall how we get up and much more.
Over two centuries ago the Catholic Church tried Galileo, because he published his book in 1632 that supported the heliocentric ideas that originated from Copernicus. The church claimed that the heliocentric theory went against scripture. During this time the Catholic Church believed in the idea that the Earth was at the center of the universe. This was called the geocentric theory, which had been around for nearly 1500 years. Galileo was tried less than a year later in 1633. The trial was private, because the church feared the community would support him, because he was one of the most achieved astronomers of their time. The church’s committee unanimously voted that his book, the Two Chief World Systems violated his
Throughout history, examples of technological advances against the approval of the general populations are in abundance. In the early to mid 1600’s, Galileo Galilei made many scientific and mathematical discoveries. However, in this time period, many did not agree with his claims as when the Church ordered Galileo to keep quiet about his theories about the Earth orbiting around the Sun.
Galileo Galilei built a telescope in 1609, and he studied the night sky, observing the earthlike features of the Moon, moons orbiting Jupiter, and sun spots. He published his work, which later earned him a trial by the church and a house arrest for life. “According to a story that began to circulate shortly afterward, as he left the court for house arrest he stamped his foot and muttered defiantly, looking down at the earth: Still, it moves” (page 530, Chapter 16). Francis Bacon and René Descartes established standards of practice and scientific evidence, and they were true believers in human thinking. Physician, William Harvey contributed to science by observing dissected living animals and experimented on himself that the blood circulates in our bodies through veins, heart, and arteries. Inventor and experimenter Robert Hooke introduced microscope into the laboratory and studied the structure of plants on the cellular level. Isaac Newton gave us laws of motion, universal gravity, the reflecting telescope, optic theories,
This is the story of Miriam a daring woman, sister of Moses and Aaron, daughter of Amram and Jochebed. This woman changed the view of women through the ages, she was portrayed as a great leader expressing her many qualities of courage, ingenuity and loyalty. She showed a good example of what a good leader should strive to be. It's easy to be caught up with all the newest hoverboards, Uphones and colour changing nail polish. But even without all these things, Miriam changed the world.
