Option 3 : Johannes Kepler
The correct answer is Johannes Kepler.
- The three laws of Kepler describe how planets circle the Sun.
- They explain how planets travel in elliptical orbits around the Sun, how a planet covers the same amount of space in the same amount of time regardless of where it is in its orbit, and how a planet's orbital period is proportional to its orbital size (its semi-major axis).
- Kepler's rules of planetary motion, published between 1609 and 1619 by Johannes Kepler, define the orbits of planets around the Sun in astronomy.
- The rules altered Nicolaus Copernicus' heliocentric theory, replacing circular orbits and epicycles with elliptical trajectories to describe how planetary velocities fluctuate.
- Roger Bacon, also known as Doctor Mirabilis in scholastic circles, was a medieval English philosopher and Franciscan friar who emphasized the study of nature via empiricism.
- Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and novelist who is largely regarded as one of history's greatest mathematicians and physicists, as well as one of the world's most important scientists. Although Isaac Newton is well known for his discoveries in optics (white light composition) and mathematics (calculus), it is his formulation of the three laws of motion—the basic principles of modern physics—for which he is most famous.
- Galileo was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer from Pisa, then part of the Duchy of Florence, who was sometimes referred to as a polymath. He also made revolutionary telescopic discoveries, including the four largest moons of Jupiter.
