    The objective is to formulate a more general reasoning or procedure.

  • Newton

    Newton
    Isaac Newton was an English physicist, theologian, inventor, alchemist and mathematician. He was born on January 4, 1643, and died on March 31, 1727. He is the author of the Philosophiæ naturalis principia mathematica, better known as the Principia, where he describes the law of universal gravitation and established the foundations of classical mechanics.

  • Invention

    Invention
    The telescope was first used in 1608. It allows us to observe celestial objects thanks to the basic laws of optics. The characteristics of lenses and mirrors are studied. Lenses refract light just like a prism does and mirrors reflect images.

  • Galileo

    Galileo
    Galileo Galilei, born on February 15, 1564 in the Duchy of Florence, and died on January 8, 1642 in Arcetri, Italy. He was an Italian astronomer, engineer, mathematician and physicist, related to the scientific revolution.

    What was it useful for?
    The people of that time were able to begin to understand the true nature of the celestial bodies that surround us and our location in the universe.

  • Invetion

    Invetion
    The law of gravitation works so that any bodies attract each other with a greater or lesser force depending on their mass. Whether greater or lesser, and depending on the distance between them.

  • Bacon

    Bacon
    Francis Bacon (born January 22, 1561, and died April 9, 1626). First Baron of Verulamium, first Viscount of Saint Albans and Chancellor of England, was an English philosopher, politician, lawyer and writer, father of philosophical and scientific empiricism.

  • Coppernicus

    Nicolaus Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473 and died on May 24, 1543. He was a Polish-Prussian Renaissance polymath, dynamic as a mathematician, astronomer and Catholic canon, who developed the heliocentric theory of the solar system.

  • Invention

    Invention
    Heliocentrism is an astronomical model according to which the Earth and the planets move around the relatively stationary Sun, which is at the center of the universe. Historically, heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center.

    What was it valid for?
    The heliocentric theory was valid to give rise to classical physics
