This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
1500: Nilakantha Somayaji discovers an infinite series for π. [115]: 101–102 [116] 1500: Nilakantha Somayaji develops a model similar to the Tychonic system. His model has been described as mathematically more efficient than the Tychonic system due to correctly considering the equation of the centre and latitudinal motion of Mercury and Venus.
The following is a list of astronomers, astrophysicists and other notable people who have made contributions to the field of astronomy.They may have won major prizes or awards, developed or invented widely used techniques or technologies within astronomy, or are directors of major observatories or heads of space-based telescope projects.
1998-99 – Scientists discover that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. [229] [230] 1999 – Alessandra Buonanno and Thibault Damour introduce the effective one-body formalism. [231] This was later used to analyze data collected by gravitational-wave observatories. [232]
