Let's explore the world of science and it's development since 1600 AD. From today, I am going to share very invaluable knowledge regarding science so that you may know WHO DID WHAT throughout the ages.


From 1600 to 1610:

DE MAGNET
a study of electricity and magnetism published by WILLIAM GILBERT,who also discovered that earth is a magnet.

FIRST TELESCOPE
Built by Dutch. Astronomical use made public by GALILEO.

CANNON-BORING
improve the resilience and effect of cannon after 1603

HEELS
on shoes became common in EUROPE.

ELLIPTICAL MOTIONS OF PLANETS
discovered by JOHANNES KEPLER. His TABULAE RUDOLFINAE made possible the future of planets.

FIRST COMPOUND MICROSCOPE

discovered and explained by WILLIAM HARVEY.

History of science

From 1630 to 1645:

COPERNICAN SYSTEM

theory formulated by GALILEO after studying the bending of beams.

PRINCIPLA PHILOSOPHLAE
by DESCARTES, explained his vortex theory of planetary motions.

ADDING MACHINES
capable of carrying numbers devised by BLAISE PASCAL. A machine able to multiply by repeated additions invented by GOTFRIED LEIBNIZ.

COFFEE
first reached in Europe.

From 1645 to 1660:

EVANGELISTA TORRICELLI
predicted that the pressure of atmosphere would fall with increasing altitude. Confirmed experimentally in 1647.

PHYSIOLOGY OF RESPIRATION
and of AIR investigated.

HUMAN BODY
began to be explained mechanically by philosophers and scientists such as DESCARTES and BORELLI.

ARITHEMATICA INFINITORUM
published by JOHN WALLIS, included infinite series and products.

SATURN'S RING
discovered by HUYGENS

SCIENCE OF GEOLOGY
developing fr6 the work of AGRICOLA, began with investigations into structures, origin, and age of rock.
