What is known as physics?
Physics is the science of modelling the universe around us in an attempt to understand the universe, and to predict its behavior, by examining and manipulating the model. . For example, a common model in physics is the mathematical equation: . F = ma. . This model (an equation can be a model) accurately and completely predicts what force is needed ('F') to accelerate ('a') a body of a certain mass ('m'). By manipulating this model - by plugging in various values for F, m, and/or a, we can understand and predict the relationship in the real world between force and acceleration.
What is a a mathematical model?
A model that lets you predict things-
What did the Copernicus universe suggest?
Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model of the universe. Meaning, the earth was the centre of the universe and other planets had to orbit around the earth. This model of the universe was against Ptolemy's model of a geocentric model; a stationary Earth at the centre of the universe.
What is the strengths and weaknesses of the geocentric model of the universe?
Its strength was that it could predict the positions of the planets with pretty good accuracy. Its weakness was that by 1600 the techniques of measuring planets' positions had advanced to the point where discrepancies were noticed in the predictions made with the geocentric model.
What the ptolemaic of the universe had in the center of the universe?
This model of the universe placed the Earth at the center of the universe
What happened to the existing model of the Universe after Galileo's observation?

What is the difference between darwinism and manifest destiny?
