Biographies of some of the great figures in science/History
This week, we follow advances in science and specifically in astronomy. Through brief biographies of some of the great figures in science, we examine the public influence and theological implications of their work. Finally, we have an opportunity to compare past understandings of the universe with our understanding of it today.
This week’s primary objectives are:
Three biographies on Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton provide an overview of the life and times of these greats as well as their legacies.
Tully’s article on the size of the universe allows you to compare the understanding of those in the past to our knowledge today.
