Monthly Presentation: Stories from the Scientific Revolution

John Scott will present Stories from the Scientific Revolution: From Aristotle to Newton.

The perilous path to modern astronomy:
how wrong ideas seemed correct,
how breakthroughs almost didn’t happen,
and the struggle to understand the universe more deeply.

Bio: John Scott has studied the history of astronomy and mechanics and has given a series of talks to a physics study group on how these ideas developed from ancient times through Newton.
