Abstract
This paper looks at how Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo, all provided different proof, facts, and theories about the universe in support of a heliocentric universe. These three pioneers sparked the movement from the old world view to the new by proving the universe?s existence can be explained by scientific theories that are supported by mathematical equations.
From the Paper
"Thinkers during the medieval times grew up on Aristotelian physics. This Ptolemaic theory claimed that bodies of matter always moved to their natural places. This belief maintained that stones fell because their natural place was the center of the universe: the earth. Many people saw truth in this theory mainly due to a severe lack of education. In addition, the people of these times were highly dependent on guidance from the church. When the church claimed something to be true, then it was so even if the claim being made was completely void of any explanation: dogma."

Abstract
This paper will discuss the book "Galileo, Science and the Church" by Jerome J. Langford and "On Crimes and Punishments" by Cesare Beccaria. By understanding how both of these books seek to tell us how the world may view theories in the scheme of religion and science, we may have a better understanding of the issues that are at hand with these modes of thought.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas Kuhn and explain what he means by "paradigm shift" within the realm of interpretation of revolutions that occur in science-specifically- the Copernican Revolution. By examining how the relationships of the perceiver of the revolution helps to transform the revolution, we can see how this idea pertains to the way that ideas are influenced not only from the inventor or creator of the revolution itself, but in the efforts of others that support it.

Inductive Reasoning, 2002.
An argument against Inductive Reasoning in the field of science.

Abstract
This paper will discuss inductive reasoning and will establish a connection between science and how that relates to this way of testing within the field. By discovering the reasoning in this style, we can see how it may be a problem for science, as the definition of inductive reasoning clearly states that something must be studied from small to large, when we have not the faintest clue what is the smallest element of matter in the universe. An argument can be made for its invalidity when discussing this form of reasoning for its seemingly inconsistent basis.

Abstract
This paper is written about refraction and reflection images in telescopes. Refracting telescopes were the only type of telescope for nearly a hundred years" (Course Notes 36). In the refractor telescope, the objective lens is responsible for magnification. In reflector telescopes, it is the primary mirror that collects great amounts of light from distant objects and creates a brighter image.

Abstract
Long thought of as a simple conjuring trick, an optical illusion, or something only deep meditation could bring about, levitation is now gaining validation and respect as a legitimate scientific event. Researchers in the field of levitation are now discovering that levitation is brought about by certain magnetic forces which are focused through the use of a human conduit or "antenna." This paper looks at techniques for achieving levitation and the scientific principles behind the phenomenon.
