Domingo de Soto. In 1551, Domingo de Soto theorized that objects in free fall accelerate uniformly in his book Physicorum Aristotelis quaestiones. [69] This idea was subsequently explored in more detail by Galileo Galilei, who derived his kinematics from the 14th-century Merton College and Jean Buridan, [55] and possibly De Soto as well. [69]
In 1551, Domingo de Soto became the first to state that a body in free fall accelerates uniformly. [43] Theoretical work on Gravity by Juan Bautista Villalpando (born 1552 in Córdoba, died 22 May 1608). He may be the father of gravitational theory and influence Newton, who indeed had copies of Bautista's work on gravity, geometry and architecture.
Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642), commonly referred to as Galileo Galilei (/ ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ l eɪ oʊ ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ l eɪ /, US also / ˌ ɡ æ l ɪ ˈ l iː oʊ-/; Italian: [ɡaliˈlɛːo ɡaliˈlɛːi]) or mononymously as Galileo, was an Italian [a] astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath.
In 1551, Domingo de Soto suggested that objects in free fall accelerate uniformly. [8] Two years later, mathematician Giambattista Benedetti questioned why two balls, one made of iron and one of wood, would fall at the same speed. [8] All of this preceded the 1564 birth of Galileo Galilei.
16th century - Domingo de Soto suggests that bodies falling through a homogeneous medium are uniformly accelerated. [11] [12] Soto, however, did not anticipate many of the qualifications and refinements contained in Galileo's theory of falling bodies. He did not, for instance, recognise, as Galileo did, that a body would fall with a strictly ...
The school's numbers also included the Dominicans Martín de Azpilcueta (1491–1586), Domingo de Soto (1494–1560), Melchor Cano (1509–1560), Diego de Covarrubias y Leyva (1512–1577), Fernando Vázquez de Menchaca (1512–1569), Bartolomé de Medina (1527–1580), Domingo Báñez (1528–1604), and Tomás de Mercado (1530–1576), as well ...
For Domingo de Soto, the theologian's task is to assess the moral foundations of civil law. [9] That's how he criticized the new Spanish charities' laws on the pretext that they violated the fundamental rights of the poor, [ 10 ] or that Juan de Mariana considered that the consent of population was needed in matter of taxation or money alteration.
