Description
This book presents the fundamental scientific developments in mathematics, physics and astronomy from the Classic Greek Era to the present time. It discusses and illustrates the 2,000-year history in the development of the great ideas, concepts and laws that revolutionized our scientific world. It also emphasizes how the new scientific concepts contributed to the logical development of the various sciences. It presents the development of the atomic theory from the Classic Greek Era to John Dalton’s atomic model and into the 20th century with the new quantized atomic model developed by Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr and Max Planck. In the area of mathematics, it discusses the development of the theory of numbers and the various mathematical sciences. In the area of astronomy, it presents the development of astronomy and the various theories on the origin of our universe. In the area of physics, it discuses the development of the physical sciences with emphasis on the fundamental concepts, the mechanical world of Sir Isaac Newton, the theory of relativity of Albert Einstein and the quantum world of the atom from Max Planck to Werner Heisenberg.

Summary
This is a scientific and historical book in the areas of mathematics, physics and astronomy, which presents the lives and accomplishments of over 200 scientists and how their ideas contributed to the development of our scientific world. The scientific accomplishments are presented chronologically and using over 200 pictures and diagrams to illustrate their logical development. The concepts in mathematics, physics and astronomy are frequently interrelated to justify their usefulness along the centuries of development. This book is essentially a labor of love on the presentation of the magnificent scientists and their fabulous accomplishments responsible for the development of our modern scientific world. Excerpt OUR PRODIGIOUS ATOM AND ITS MEANING THE INFINITELY SMALL ATOM IS THE INFINITELY LARGE SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND WISDOM THE ATOM REPRESENTS THE PRODIGIOUS AND SUPERLATIVE UNIFIED CONCEPT OF OUR UNIVERSE THE ATOM IS THE PERFECT NATURAL MACHINE THAT FUNCTIONS WITH MAGNIFICENT BALANCE AND HARMONY AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT THE ATOM IS A FABULOUS CHUNK OF MATTER-ENERGY CONTINUUM WITH A PRODIGIOUS SELF-SUSTAINING PERPETUAL MOTION THE ATOM IS THE EMBODIMENT OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM AND IT REPRESENTS A PIECE OF THE SUN AND LIFE ITSELF THE ATOM IS THE UNIVERSAL BUILDING BLOCK OF OUR MATTER-ENERGY CONTINUUM THE ATOM IS THE FUNDAMENTAL AND BOUNDLESS SOURCE OF THE ENERGY THAT POWERS AND GUIDES OUR ENTIRE UNIVERSE E = MC2 ENERGY OF THE ATOM CALCULATED FROM THE PHYSICS POINT OF VIEW OR E = (ENERGY/ATOM)(ATOMS/UNIT MATTER)(TOTAL MATTER) = (ENERGY/ATOM)(6.022 X 1023 ATOMS/MOLE)(TOTAL N0 OF MOLES) ENERGY OF THE ATOM CALCULATED FROM THE CHEMISTRY POINT OF VIEW THE GREATEST FUNDAMENTAL INVENTIONS CREATED BY MOTHER NATURE THE ATOM AND ITS CAPACITY TO STORE AND RELEASE UNIVERSAL ENERGY BY MEANS OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES THE CELL AND ITS CAPACITY TO SUSTAIN INDEPENDENT LIFE BY MEANS OF UNIQUE BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES THE PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND ITS CAPACITY TO TRANSFORM SOLAR (LIGHT) ENERGY INTO CHEMICAL AND FOOD ENERGY BY MEANS OF BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES LIGHT AND ITS CAPACITY TO TRANSPORT ENERGY AND CHANGE OUR UNIVERSE BY TRANSFORMING DARKNESS INTO LIGHTNESS THROUGH THE MIRACLE OF ILLUMINATION THE PHENOMENON OF ELECTROMAGNETISM AND ITS CAPACITY TO PRODUCE THE DYNAMIC ELECTRIC CURRENT THAT ENERGIZES OUR LIVES AND POWERS OUR UNIVERSE THE ATMOSPHERE, OUR SOURCE OF CARBON DIOXIDE REQUIRED FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND OXYGEN REQUIRED FOR RESPIRATION THE OCEANS AND OTHER BODIES OF WATER AS THE BASIC SOURCE OF LIFE SUSTAINING WATER THE EARTH, OUR SOURCE OF MINERALS AND CHEMICAL ELEMENTS, WHICH SUSTAIN LIFE ON OUR PLANET AND THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL OF ALL OF NATURE’S INTUITIVE CREATIONS IS THE PROCESS OF UNIVERSAL TRANSFORMATION, WHERE PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION TRANSFORM MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE, TIME AND LIFE ITSELF
