The time of enlightenment gave an open forum to all the thinkers and scientists. They literally got a stage to show their perceptions and there is no doubt that they faced utter difficulty to make people believe the reality. It has to be kept in mind that religious places had a great influence on people and they took whatever was stated by the religious leaders very seriously. The key contributors’ science includes Sir Isaac Newton as the revolutionary man. He literally created a newer dimension with his theories. Gravity and force got a new meaning with him. Next important name in the list of scientists is Galileo.
