Hidrostatic's father

Archimedes formulated the principle of bouyancy, wich states that a body submerged in fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body

The father of physics

Democritus, an ancient Greek philosopher, made significant contributions to physics, particularly through his development of the atomic theory of the universe

Oh man look at those cavemen go!

Cavemen hunted and gathered food, made tools, lived in caves, created art and they discovered fire. Using them for cooking and warmth

Greeks

They proposed that natural phenomena could be explained without resorting to mythology, developed principles of hydrostatics and invented the Archimedes screw

¿How it started? (Big Bang)

Big Bang is the leading explanation about how the universe began. It suggests that the universe started from an extremely hot and dense single point and has been expanding ever since.

Father of Nuclear Physics

Made several groundbreaking contributions to science. One of his most notable achievements was the discovery of the atomic nucleus in 1911 through his famous gold foil experiment.

The Electro-man

One of J.J. Thomson’s most significant contributions was the discovery of the electron in 1897. This groundbreaking finding revealed that atoms are not indivisible, as previously thought, but contain smaller subatomic particles.

Galieo (Galileo) Galileo Fígaro

Galileo made significant observations using his improved telescope, including the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the detailed surface of the Moon. These discoveries provided strong evidence for the Copernican heliocentric model, which posits that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun.

The Apple myth?

Newton formulated the three laws of motion, which describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and the body’s motion in response to those forces. These laws laid the foundation for classical mechanics. Westfall, R. S. (2024, 26 agosto). Isaac Newton | Biography, facts, discoveries, laws, & Inventions.

Dark ages

Despite the overall decline in scientific inquiry, there were notable technological advancements, such as improvements in agricultural tools and techniques, which indirectly influenced the study of mechanics.

Our today (Internet)

In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) while working at CERN. The WWW made it easier to access and share information over the internet using hyperlinks and web pages. These innovations laid the groundwork for the modern internet we use today.

Start of today

In the 1930s and 1940s, Alan Turing and Konrad Zuse made significant contributions. Turing developed the concept of a universal machine, which could perform any computation given the right algorithm, while Zuse built the Z3 in 1941, the first programmable computer.

The evolution of the world

Mechanization of Production: The invention of machines like the spinning jenny and the power loom revolutionized textile manufacturing, allowing for mass production and significantly increasing efficiency. Development of the Steam Engine: James Watt’s improvements to the steam engine provided a new, powerful source of energy that was crucial for transportation (like steam locomotives and ships) and industrial machinery.

E=mc2

Einstein’s theory of relativity, including both special and general relativity, revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. His famous equation (E = mc^2) shows the relationship between mass and energy.
