         <description><![CDATA[<div>Johannes Kepler is a German astronomer who discovered the three major laws of planetary motion.&nbsp;<br>1. planets moving in an elliptical orbit with the sun as the center.&nbsp;<br>2. no matter where the planet is in motion they cover the same amount of space, in the same amount of time<br>3. a planet's orbital period is proportional to the size of its orbit&nbsp;<br><br>Kepler was Tycho Brahe's assistant however, Brahe mistrusted Kepler and feared he would overshadow him. Kepler, unlike Brahe, believed in a heliocentric solar system and was assigned to research the orbit of Mars. Mars' orbit was considered difficult during this time because the orbits of planets were thought to be circular. From this research, Kepler discovered planets orbit in an elliptical motion.&nbsp;<br><br>Ellipses have two points, called foci (plural for focus) The sum of the distance from a focus to any part of an ellipse is constant. The sun is one focus. The amount of flattening of an ellipse is called eccentricity, the flatter the more eccentric. Knowing that planets' orbits were elliptical Kepler was able to formulate the three laws above.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Father of Modern Philosophy"<br>- Descartes came up with the philosophy of "Cogito, ergo sum," or translated, “I think, therefore I am." (knowledge is rooted in intuition and self-evident truths)<br>- He created a new type of modern thinking that was rooted in observation and experimentation called <strong>deductive reasoning</strong>. He mainly used it in mathematics, but it can be applied to all sciences.<br>- He invented <strong>analytical geometry</strong> which applied algebra to geometrical principles, and geometry to algebraic problems. The principles could be inversely applied.<br>- Descartes explained how rainbows are created through his principle of refraction.<br>- He argued that all people had knowledge through and because of God.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

Also, rainwater, well water, and samples from the human intestines, <br>- Without the invention of Leiwenhoek science would not be where it is today, the microscope allows us to look at bacteria and many other things identifying problems in the medical world and for research.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician, scientist, and physicist. He was born in England on January 4, 1643, and died of natural causes on March 31, 1727. He is famous for discovering the laws of motion and universal gravitation. However, he also applied his findings of gravity to reinforce the findings of the laws of planetary motion and other astrology phenomena such as comets. Isaac Newton was an unorthodox Christian and was knighted in 1705 by Queen Anne. It is also commonly known that Newton Discovered gravity from an apple falling on his head, but there was no evidence supporting this myth so it is believed to be false. We should still learn about Newton today because his findings about gravity were the foundations for most of our modern-day understandings of motion or space.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Discoveries and Accomplishments:<br>-Founded the laws of motion<br>-Founded the laws of universal gravity<br>-Built the first particle-reflecting telescope<br>-Invented the theory of color<br>-Calculated the speed of sound<br>-Invented the empirical law of cooling<br>&nbsp;-Introduced the notion of Newtonian Fluid<br>-Generalised the binomial theory<br>-Developed a method for approximating the root of a function<br>-Classified most of the cubic plane curves<br>-Worked with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz to make infinitesimal calculus&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br>This is a youtube documentary about him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2YZN2L700Q</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Born: 1548 in Nola, Italy&nbsp;<br>Died: February 17, 1600 in Rome, Italy<br><br>Giordano Bruno was a Italian philosopher, astronomer as well as mathematician.&nbsp; His theories anticipated modern science. His most famous theory was that there was an infinite universe and there were many many worlds, and life beyond ours. Which we still wonder about today and are still uncertain of. When he was first starting out as an astronomer he did not support the idea that the Earth was the center of the universe. He reaffirmed the heliocentric theory, where the sun was the center of our solar system. He suggested that the universe is infinite and that there are numerous worlds similar to the planets in our solar system.&nbsp;<br>His death was unfortunate when he was burned at the stake because of his unorthodox beliefs when at the time the Roman Catholic Church was reaffirming their ideas back into Europe.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li>Aristarchus of Samos was a Greek astronomer and mathematician.&nbsp;</li><li>He was the first person to propose a heliocentric model, in which the sun and not the earth is the center of the universe.&nbsp;</li><li>Aristarchus’s theory was heavily rejected by other astronomers at the time because they widely believed in the geocentric model (the Earth is at the center of the universe.)</li><li>Aristarchus was able to discover that Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun. He also placed the planets in the right order from the sun.&nbsp;</li><li>Aristarchus created a model of the universe that included stars rotating and the planets revolving around the Sun. He also calculated the relative sizes of the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth.</li><li>Aristarchus is so important because he discovered principles of space that are still in effect today. Without Aristarchus, we wouldn't know that the planets revolve around the Sun, what sizes the planets are, or how far they are from the Sun.</li></ul><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>- Torricelli was an outstanding physicist and mathematician that helped in the development of our knowledge of physics today. His invention, the barometer, is used daily today and helped develop the laws regarding the speed of liquids when flowing out of an opening (Torricelli's law). He developed many of the scientists' ideas that predated him. He was highly educated in mathematics, physics, and much more. Torricelli's discoveries during the scientific revolution had a large impact on our lives and the science we study today.&nbsp;His work in geometry and mathematics also paved the way for the formation of integral calculus. </div>]]></description>
