Basic knowledge of science is essential for everyone. It helps people to find their way in the changing world.
Scientists have transformed the way we think and live throughout the centuries. What are the most important scientific discoveries of all time?
1. The Planets Move (2000 B. C. - 500 B. C. )
A thousand years of observations reveal that there are stars that move in the sky and follow patterns, showing that the Earth is part of a solar system of planets separate from the fixed stars.
2. The Earth Moves (1543)
Nicolaus Copernicus places the sun, not the Earth, at the center of the solar system.
3. Planetary Orbits Are Elliptical (1605 - 1609)
Johannes Kepler devises mathematical laws that successfully and accurately predict the motions of the planets in elliptical orbits.
4. Jupiter Has Moons (1609 - 1612)
Galileo Galilei discovers that Jupiter has moons like the Earth, proving that Copernicus, not Ptolemy, is right. Copernicus believes that Earth is not unique, but instead resembles the other planets, all of which orbit the sun.
