Who Is The Father Of Physics?

Answer Question

22 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Physics is the field of science which studies the natural world and the laws on which it works. It is considered as the most fundamental of the sciences from which the other branches like chemistry, biology and application oriented fields like engineering and medicine originate. Physics has been studied by man since ancient times in various ways with a number of eminent personalities contributing a great deal to the field.

    Physics though it employs mathematical means to comprehend various concepts which are then subjected to tests or experiments also has a philosophical aspect about it. The ancient Greek philosopher Thales (6th century BC) is widely regarded as the father of physics. He is credited with being the first to study the heavens; some of his achievements include predicting a solar eclipse, construction of an almanac and his statement that all 'things' are formed of one primary element.

    Some important philosopher physicists of the period include Aristotle, Democritus and Archimedes. The father of Modern Physics is considered to be the Italian physicist Galileo Galilei most famous for his assertion of the heliocentric view of the solar system.  
    Some famous physicists of the modern period are Sir Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, Nikolai Tesla, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein among others.

      In the field of physics many physicist is considered as the father of physics,THALES is considered as the father of physics because of his study about the HEAVEN. GALILEO GALE LEI  is considered as the father of physics because of his heliocentric view o the solar system. Another famous scientist who is considered as the father of modern physics is SIR ISAAC NEWTON because he is the one who study about the law of gravitation which explains that when you throw something in the air it will back to the ground because of this so called GRAVITY.

              Galileo is considered to be the actual father of physics, he was actually the on that discovery the principle of relativity, einstein just wrote the general theory and special theory of relativity. Newton is considered to be the second most influential physicist.

              Before Galileo the characteristics of energy, matter, motion and any other physical parameters were described by just a simple observation with no mathematical solution or process or a operation on it. For an example Aristotle said 100kg objects drops 100 times more faster than 1 kg object. This theory was just standing with no mathematical operations. It was Galileo who always tried to explain theory by help of mathematics and experimental bases. He supported his proofs by mathematically, by this he described that physics which means study of energy, matter, motion, etc can be better understood by mathematical derivations and laws that bound the rule of natural world. So for initiating this concept about how to understand physics, Galileo deserves to be father of physics.
