De Nova Stella was published
De Nova Stella was published by Tycho Brahe. With this booklet, he destroyed any theory of the celestial spheres. He showed that celestial heaves were out of reach as the universe goes far past the moon. Brahe also showed that comets pass through space. It was not just an extraordinary object. -
Galileo builds his first telescope
Galileo was the person to make the telescoope famous. He built his first three-powered witness glass to look at the moon and other celestial objects such as the discovery of Jupiter's moons. -
Starry Messenger
The Starry Messenger was written by Galileo Galilei. At first Galileo said that stars were just a glimse of light, but compared with planets, stars are disks. In his writing, Galileo argued that stars were suns. He calculated that stars were great distances away ranging from several hundred solar distances to over two thousand solar distances. Brighter stars were closer to the sun, and fainter stars were far away from the sun. -
Rudolphine Tables
The Rudolphine Tables contained a star catelog that included planetary tables. It waws published by Johannes Kepler based on Tycho Brahe's studies and observations. -
Discourse on the Method
The Discourse on the Method was published by Rene Descartes. It helped established the scientific method. The book is divided into six parts.
Part 1: Various considerations touching the Sciences
Part 2: The principal rules of the Method which the Author has discovered
Part 3: Morals, and Maxims accepted while conducting Method
Part 4: Proof of God and the Soul
Part 5: Physics, the heart, the soul of man and animals
Part 6: Advancement in the investigation of Nature -
The Sceptical Chymist
The Sceptical Chymist was presented by Rober Boyle. Through this literature, he was able to present his hypothesis that all forms of matter contained atoms or a cluster of atoms, and it would always be in motion. This would result in a collision of molecules. -
Boyle's Law
Robert Boyle's law was meant that for an ideal gas at a fixed temperature, the volume and the pressure of the gas are inversly proportional to each other. Boyle withnessed that the product of the volume and pressure is exactly a constant for an ideal gas. -
Newton's White Light
Newton established an experiment where white light was not pure and one, single color. Rather, it was a mixture and combinations of colors. It was heterogeneous and it was composed of a spectrum of colors. -
Three Laws of Motion
Newton's three laws of motion was introduced and it provided an explaination of what gravity and force was.
1st Law: An object will stay at it's current state unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
2nd Law: Force is needed in order to change an object's state of motion.
3rd Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
