Physics: The Cosmic Engine: 8.5.1 (b) (1 Viewer)

[TheBressman]

Hey BoS,
We have to do a research task on the universe and this syllabus dot point is part of the criteria:

8.5.1:
Outline the historical development of models of the Universe from the time of Aristotle to the time of Newton

This dot point is terribly broad. Anyone got any ideas on a suitable response ? Or even ideas just to narrow down this point ?

For this dotpoint, you basically need to know some of the different theories for the model of the universe, e.g model with the earth in the centre of the universe, I think it was Aristotle that proposed this one. It's only a outline dotpoint, hence you don't need to go into too much detail for this dotpoint.

There are a lot of models, but you should be able to just thoroughly discuss one or two models and skim ovr the others.
