When did the Romans invent the groma?
The Romans didn't invent the Groma. The Greeks were using it in the 4th century BCE, after which the Etruscans and then Romans obtained the technology. Although who invented it is a matter for debate, the most likely inventors are probably the Mesopotamians, the source of many revolutionary inventions including the most basic of all inventions, the wheel, the plough and the sail. They also divided time into the sexagesimal system (base-60) that we still use to this day.
Sir Isaac Newton calculus?
Isaac Newton's calculas, created in 1666, is a complicated math problem, or formula. There was a controversy over Newton's calculus when, in 1684, a German scientist maned Gottfried Leibniz published a formula of calculus. Newton raged, and claimed that he had originaly discovered calculus, which he had, and responded by publishing a partial calculus formula in 1693 and a full formula in 1704. Newton still claimed to have invented calculus, but Leibniz would not give up. Finally, Leibniz declared that he had still created calculus, and that his country's scientists would break ties with England's scientists, and eventually get revenge upon England and its scientists for not believing calculus's "rightful" creator. England eventually did get Leibniz'z declared "revenge" in World War 1 & World War 2, though not because Leibniz declared it, and certainly not for the same reasons. The conflict still raged between Newton and Leibniz, but the countries were no longer involved. Newton believed he would win the argument until the day he died.
Important facts about Isaac Newton?
His father died three months before he was born, could not sign his name, but was a wealthy farmer. He threatened to burn down his mother and subsequent step-father's house with them inside. He showed little promise in grammar school. He was described as "idle" and "inattentive". Isaac was a very small baby not expected to survive. His mother even said that Isaac was so small that he could have fit inside a quart mug. Newton was born into a farming family. He was born the same year that Galileo died
What did Sumerian's invent that we still use today?
wheel
What do Isaac Newton and Christopher Columbus have in common?
Gravity by Newton and space/time by Einstein. Newton's clock on earth has the same force as Einstein's clock, but when Einstein's clock moves to the top of Everest mountain, it will have less force. By Amin Elsersawi Both Newton and Einstein admitted that there is gravity. The gravity of Newton was on Earth, and the gravity of Einstein was the cosmological constant. Einstein made a big mistake when he added the cosmological constant to compensate for his thought that the universe was static (stand still). The cosmological constant was an anti-gravity 'vacuum' force that kept gravity from pulling the universe in on itself. In conclusion, Newton was right, and Einstein was wrong in distinguishing the gravity.
Whose mathematical work on the laws of motion still forms the basis for the study of motion today?
Sir Isaac Newton came up with the Three Laws of Motion
Is the house where sir Isaac newton was born still standing?
no
Do you still use the three laws Isaac Newton made today?
yes
What is history of Isaac newton?
The history of Isaac Newton began on January 4th in 1643 when he was born. He went on to become a very famous scientist and mathematician. His work is still studied today.
Did isaac newton develop three rules about forces we still use today?
Yes he did
What currency does Isaac Newton appear on?
Sir Isaac Newton formerly appeared on the British one pound note. Although the currency is out of circulation, it is still legal tender but has greater value to collectors.
When was newtons parents born?
Newton's mother, Hannah Ayscough, was born in 1623 and his father Isaac Newton Senior's birth date is unknown and still a mystery.
Is Isaac Newton still honored?
If you consider the fact that the main three laws of classical physics are still called "Newton's" laws or that classical dynamic physics is called Newtonian, you could say he is still quite revered.
Where was gravity discovered?
Gravity is what makes things fall to the ground, or if they're already down, to stay there.Anyone who has ever dropped anything or picked something up has, in a way, discovered gravity.What Newton is accredited for, is to be the first to have a good think about WHY things fall, and how the force that makes things fall would work and interact with reality.Gravity was discovered by Isaac Newton. He didn't literally invent it but he found it out. Isaac had an apple, dropped it on the floor and wondered what had the force to pull it down. He named the pull, gravity and that's why we say that today. Isaac newton was a good man finding our pull of force but died. Isaac is still in talk today.
When was the day Sir Isaac Newton made the reflecting telescope?
Newton did not invent the telescope. The first practical telescope was made by Hans Lippeshey and Zacharias Janssen in 1608 in the Netherlands. Galileo made significant improvements the following year. All these early refracting telescopes suffered from big problems with chromatic aberation, the separation of colours.The first reflecting telescope is credited to Niccolò Zucchi in 1616. In 1668, Isaac Newton invented a much improved reflecting telescope that still bears his name, the "Newtonian reflector." He added a smaller "diagonal" mirror near the primary mirror's focus to reflect the image at a 90° angle allowing him to look through the side of the telescope and see without blocking the incoming light.Nice answer upstairs! Newton made his first "good" reflecting telescope in 1688. It still exists -- and works!
What is a name of a famous scientists?
theres loads -Isaac Newton found gravity one that still is alive Stephen hawking
When is Isaac Newtons B-day?
Sir Isaac Newton's birthday was on Christmas. He was born on December 25, 1642. However, in 1642 the Julian calendar was still being used and we have since switched to the Gregorian calendar, on which Newton's birthday would be January 4.
