The Scientific Revolution
If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants. Isaac Newton. Three hundred miles from earth’s surface gravity begins to loose hold. Humanity has reached this point with the giants of science leading the way. Soon an unprecedented eye in the sky will open up a window in the creation of the universe. The web space telescope will rocket a million miles into the void. It all began when a polish monk peered into the sky. His theories would spark the scientific revolution and launch mankind on fantastic voyage of exploration and discovery.
Since the dawn of civilization man has gazed in wonderment at the sky. The end of the middle ages brought a revival of classical learning thriving to explain

At the same time reformation was shattering Christianity shaking loose the churches hold on European minds. Medieval European scholarship had been largely based on belief. Now that approach was over run as thinkers began to use mathematical data. In their studies of the stars, astronomers had struggled to explain what they were seeing. Nicolas Copernicus theorized that the earth turned and rotated around the sun. After the death of Copernicus an astronomer by the name of Tycho Brahe built an observatory. In 1604 a student of Brahe formed his first law, that the sun orbits the sun in elliptical orbits. In 1609 the spy glass was invented. Galileo improved this new tool by grinding lenses that increased the range. With the new improvements Galileo could see further into the night sky than anyone ever before. The world was changing there would be no turning back. In seventeenth century England Issic newton would ask what propels earth? Newton applied the latest mathematics to matter and motion not only did he show that math is the language of the universe he proved the existence of gravity. From newton the next giant leap came in the twentieth century. Albert Enstine introduced a new way to understand gravity space and
