The 4 People's Life/Accomplishments in the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment (Our Opinion Also)

1. Galileo Galilei (Scientific Revolution) was a person who mostly studied stars and planets. He was the first person who invented the telescope. He was the one who proved that objects that have different masses will fall at the same time. He also discovered that our galaxy was Heliocentric (Sun-centered), not Geocentric (Earth-centered). I think that he was one of the most important, not important then famous, scientist at that time.
2. Anton van Leeuwenhoek (Scientific Revolution) was a person who mostly spent his time studying the mini micro-world. He used a microscope to study and explore the micro-world (microbiology). He was the one who discovered infusoria, bacteria, and the vacuole of the cell. I think that he was a great and important scientist at that time and deserved the title 'The Father of Microbiology".
3. Isaac Newton (Enlightenment) was an English person who mainly studied physics, math, and astronomy. He was the one who discovered and created the 3 laws of motion. He also discovered and described about the universal gravitation. It's believed that Newton was sitting by a tree when an apple fell on his head or near to him, which inspired him to do all these important things. I think that he is one of the most greatest and influential scientist during his time.
4. John Locke (Enlightenment) was also an English person who mainly studied political philosophy and physics. He was the one who believed and stated that every person had the right to defend his/her own life, liberty, and possession. He believed that this could only happen through a civil society with the help of the government. He also believed and stated that people should be able to choose who will govern them. I think that he was a very influential and important scientist during his time and deserved the title "The Father of Liberalism".
