The Impact of Isaac Newton on Global History
Isaac Newton, an English scientist, revolutionized physics with his Laws of Motion and Law of Gravity. His work showed that universal laws exist in nature, making the universe measurable and predictable. Newton's contributions significantly shaped global history, introducing a new understanding of the natural world as a machine governed by laws humans can decipher.

Do Now: What does this quote mean? I think, therefore, I am
A. English scientist who creates the complete set of laws of motion = the creation of Physics Head and shoulders portrait of man in black with shoulder-length grey hair, a large sharp nose, and an abstracted gaze Physics. . B. Brought together the ideas of the scientists who came before him (Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo).
C. Newtons findings a. Laws of Motion: Objects are always in motion b. Law of Gravity: Causes objects to fall to Earth & planets to revolve around the sun c. Laws of inertia 1. An object will remain in the same place until a force causes it to move 2. A moving object will continue to move until a force causes it to stop.
D. Why is Newtons work important? a. Showed that there are universal laws in nature that humans can figure out. b. These laws make the universe measurable and predictable. The world is like a machine No longer a mystery!
Who made the more significant contributions to global history: Isaac Newton or Galileo Galilei? Why? Who made the more significant contributions to global history: Isaac Newton or Galileo Galilei? Why?
A. Presents a procedure for investigating why things happen, for acquiring new knowledge and correcting previous knowledge.
B. Developed by European scientists 1. Francis Bacon (English lawyer) Scientists should use empiricism data, and draw conclusions). empiricism (observe the world, gather 2. Rene Descartes (French mathematician) Use your own logic and reason natural world ( I think, therefore I am ). logic and reason to understand the Data Reason (Descartes) Data (Bacon) + + Reason } } Scientific Method!
Ultimately, do you believe religion and science can ever go together? Does a person have to choose one over the other? Explain.
