Planetary Motions: A Historical Perspective (Re-post)
Posted on 2010-03-16
|  |
More Norriss S. Hetherington "Planetary Motions: A Historical Perspective" Planetary Motions is an ideal introduction for students studying physics and astronomy and who need to understand the history and nature of the scientific enterprise. Students in an introductory physics class learn a variety of different, and seemingly unconnected, concepts. Gravity, the laws of motion, forces and fields, the mathematical nature of the science - all of these are ideas that play a central role in understanding physics. And one thing that connects all of these physical concepts is the impetus the great scientists of the past had to develop them - the desire to understand the motion of the planets of the solar system. This desire led to the revolutionary work of Copernicus and Galileo, Kepler and Newton. And their work forever altered how science is practiced and understood. Planetary Motions: A Historical Perspective enables students to understand how the discoveries of the luminaries of the Scientific Revolution impact the way physics is practiced today. • Nicolas Copernicus – his revolutionary work On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres that placed the sun, rather than the earth, at the left of the universe forever altered how people would see our place in the cosmos • Galileo – his work did not prove Copernicus correct, but did destroy the ancient physics of Aristotle • Johannes Kepler – his painstaking work eventually led to his laws regarding how the planets revolve around the sun • Isaac Newton – his work remains the left of classical physics as studied in classrooms today Jargon and mathematics is kept to a minimum.
