Scientific Revolution: Born in Woolsthrope, England on December 25, 1642 Grew up in Grantham, England English physicist, astronomer, philosopher, theologist, alchemist and mathematician Enrolled at the King's School in Grantham, where he was introduced chemistry Attended Trinity College & Cambridge University Changed the principles of both chemistry and math Translates the bible into Hebrew * http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/other-shows/videos/assignment- discovery-shorts-isaac-newton-invents-calculus.htm *http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/other-shows/videos/assignment- discovery-shorts-isaac-newton-invents-calculus.htm

The Discoveries of… With discoveries in optics, motion, and mathematics he developed the principles of modern physics. He was the original discoverer of the infinitesimal calculus. Discovered the laws of gravity; “Isaac Newton made a discovery, when he saw an apple fall from a tree. So he told the world of the force we can’t see, And we call it gravity” * http://www.history.com/videos/isaac-newton-and-a-scientific- revolution#isaac-newton-and-a-scientific-revolution *http://www.history.com/videos/isaac-newton-and-a-scientific- revolution#isaac-newton-and-a-scientific-revolution

Modern Science: Born in Württemberg, Germany in March 14, 1879 Forced to move to Milan, Italy German-born theoretical physicist who developed the general theory of relativity Attended the University of Zurich, Charles University in Prague and the University of Leiden Was a professor at Princeton University Winner of the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics

Why is…. Most well known for this simple math equation; e=mc^2 or mass times the speed of light (c) squared. (This equation led to the atomic bomb and nuclear power) Famous quotes… EX: “Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.” The two theories of relativity Nobel Prize winner “All motion must be defined relative to a frame of reference and that space and time are relative, rather than absolute concepts.”

The Manhattan Project … Manhattan Project started on September 17, 1942 Began because of World War II Scientists were debating whether or not to drop an atomic bomb in Japan to end the war Albert Einstein disagreed with using the bomb, thinking that it was be disastrous The Manhattan Project was carried out in complete secrecy Despite Albert Einstein's decision, the government decided to drop the bomb which effected two cities: Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Newton & Einstein’s work ISAAC NEWTONALBERT EINSTEIN Reactions to… The Church disagreed with Newton’s scientific works due to Newton’s religious beliefs. Newton wanted to become King of England therefore, King James II and Newton were at a disagreement. The Church disagreed with Einstein's works because of his religion. The German government disagreed with Einstein because of his theory of relativity.
