How did the contributions of Sir Isaac Newton change the world of science?

This theory is completely revolutionised the world of science. One of his most famous theories is the law of universal gravitation. It describes the gravitational attraction between different bodies with mass like the Earth and the Moon. Newton was known to have said that this theory of gravitation was inspired by watching an apple fall from a tree. He was formulated the three laws of motion that relate the forces acting on a body to its motion.

What was the impact of the Vasco da Gama's discovery of India? Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, left portable on July 8, 1497, to find a sea route to India. He had for ships, and 170 Mens.

Most important of all, Vasco da Gama voyage succeeded in linking Europe and Asia for the first time by an Ocean route. It connected the Atlantic and the Indian oceans and brought the west and the...

Why was the satellite Aryabhata a landmark in Indian space research ?    On April 19,  1975,   India entered the space age. On this historic day, India launched his first-ever satellite. It was the Aryabhata after the great 5th Century astronomer and mathematician.   Aryabhata was actually launched from within the Soviet Union by a Russian made rocket, under an agreement signed by the two countries. It was made by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).   The purpose of Aryabhata was to conduct experiments in X-ray astronomy and solar physics.
