Humanists like to think of the universe as a cohesive whole, and believe that everything has a reason. This belief caused Kepler to try to come up with holistic interpretations of astronomical truths, so, even though he gathered a lot of empirical evidence, much of his work that we ignore in modern times was speculation on the structure of the universe. For example, he was pretty excited to come up with a theory based on geometric structures and how they fit in with the orbit of the planets. Look up Kepler's Polygons. It makes a nice picture, but it later turned out to be wrong. Kepler also refused to use the Copernican system (though he was okay with the Tychonian system, apparently?) because having the sun in the center of the universe messed up his perception of the natural order of things. All in all, Kepler refused to publish anything unless it fit in with his humanistic perceptions. He did end up finishing Tycho Brahe's planetary charts, though.

Can you define Bernoulli's principle and the effect it has on flight using more than half of a page?
No, we can't do your work for you.
How many Nobel Prizes won by Einstein?
Just one - 1921 Nobel prize (physics). Curiously, rather than receiving an award for his more famous work on relativity, he won it for his work on the photoelectric effect, which was responsible, in part at least, for the development of quantum theory. It is arguable that, given the work that had been done previously by the likes of, for example, Lorentz, relativity was a theory waiting to happen, whereas the photoelectric effect was much more novel and far-reaching in its effects.
What are some things Albert Einstein did?
He failed math in high school but later went on to postulate the theory of relativity, and he got the Nobel prize for his work on the photoelectric effect.
Effect of large angle to oscillation?
The motion is likely not to be a simple harmonic motion as required for the formula for the period of a pendulum to work properly. The angle of swing is likely to reduce.

What contribution did Brahe and Kepler make to Astronomy?
He made surprisingly accurate positional measurements of the brighter stars in the sky without the aid of a telescope. He did this through an important step in the scientific method...repeating your work. This helped make his measurements as accurate as they were. This information was passed on to one of his assistants, Johannes Kepler, who used the information to develop Keplers Laws of Planetary Motion.
