The book describes the lives of scientists from Copernicus to Einstein. Copernicus declared that the earth rotation around the sun. This heliocentric theory was in direct conflict with the Church. Galileo was arrested and put on trial for his scientific publications. Unlike Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler, Galileo had the benefit of a telescope. This powerful instrument enabled him to see what earlier scientists could only imagine.Newton developed a new math called Calculus, and frequently used Geometry too in his concepts. He described the invisible force of gravity in simple, understandable language.Over the centuries science and religion became fierce adversaries.Scientists experiments and discoveries range from Linnaeus to Mendel to Einstein to Richard Feynman, as the author Erica Stux sees how imagination and stubbornness inspire their work.
