History of Science

A Greek philosopher named Thales, came up with the idea that natural events, such as earthquakes have a cause. This was the start of science and theories because before that, people believed that everything what is happening is caused by Gods. http://www.philosophers.co.uk/thales-of-miletus.html

A Persian scientist named Geber introduced the scientific method and experimentation in chemistry. He is now known as the "father of chemistry". https://www.google.com/search?q=geber&rlz=1CAACAJ_enUS781US781&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwju7P74su7YAhVP9mMKHfZlCC4Q_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=654#imgrc=udSeLobZNiWWBM:

This event is considered as the revolution of science. Copernicus made this argument. This was a major event in thinking about the Earth's place. https://www.google.com/search?q=copernicus&rlz=1CAACAJ_enUS781US781&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjs2tCbtu7YAhVY0WMKHVEjCLQQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=654#imgrc=dhigFSUf4ukQ-M:

Italian scientist Galileo greatly improved the telescope, and made many important discoveries in the field of astronomy. https://www.google.com/search?q=galileo&rlz=1CAACAJ_enUS781US781&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiMpvWt9vDYAhVEz2MKHVVmCIEQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=654#imgrc=1NW7i7KBzj4S4M:

Marie Curie was the first woman who received a Nobel Prize for physics. She discovered radiation. She won another one in 1911 for discovering radium and polonium. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1CAACAJ_enUS781US781&biw=1366&bih=654&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=gKdoWuq6G4KujwPU1bX4Ag&q=marie+curie&oq=marie+curie&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i67k1j0l9.31038.33310.0.33562.12.9.0.3.3.0.136.788.6j2.9.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.11.813.0...79.qVOQIW9na3E#imgrc=lNrMYkLe8NfrsM:

Albert Einstein came up with this theory. The theory relates matter and energy. It explains gravity as a property of space. This theory was supported by evidence and observations. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1CAACAJ_enUS781US781&biw=1366&bih=654&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=o6doWu6PG8fejwPuzYQg&q=einstein&oq=einstein&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i67k1j0j0i67k1l2j0l4j0i67k1l2.167774.169078.0.169395.9.6.0.3.3.0.119.505.3j2.6.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.8.536.0...79.i2iMShpVo-s#imgrc=Wq6MSphh2WOW5M:

Raman was an Indian Scientist who won a Nobel Prize in 1930 for physics. He discovered that light travels through transparent materials. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1CAACAJ_enUS781US781&biw=1366&bih=654&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=TqhoWtrgCoXojwPk06foDg&q=cv+raman&oq=cv+raman&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i67k1j0l8.24650.26641.0.26908.9.6.0.3.3.0.103.466.4j1.6.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.8.492.0...86.9higQOvXIxs#imgrc=QveYbir-ZEWVIM:
