Isaac Newton studied math and the nature of light and gravitation at Trinity College in Cambridge. He was inspired by the discoveries made by people like Johannes Kepler, Robert Boyle, Galileo Galilei and Nicolaus Copernicus.

Regarding the theory of Galileo Galilei, which argues that planets revolve around the sun, not the earth. Newton thought that the universe worked as if it was a machine and it then would mantain itself with simple laws. He claimed that mathematics was the best way to prove those laws.

The Copernican heliocentric theory was not accepted by the public, scientific or otherwise. Isaac Newton, however, was the most famous supporter of this theory and even helped to explain the force of gravity.

Explain what is meant by the statement “...any Indian who received news of the Spaniards could have also have easily received th
jolli1 [7]

The quote “... any Indian who received news of the Spaniards could have also easily received the infection” refers to the fact that when the Spanish explorers advanced into Central America, the diseases they were carrying often spread faster than them, including ahead of them.

The context is the so-called Columbian Exchange (after Christopher Columbus), which is the large exchange of animals, food, culture, people, techniques, and diseases that took place between Native Americans (or Indians) and Europeans after 1492.

The quote focuses on one particular aspect of this exchange: the spread of infections. While the Indians did contaminate the Europeans with some of their diseases, like syphilis, many infections destroyed Native American lives because they had not developed a resistance to them like Europeans did. These included measles and smallpox, which were introduced in America through the Caribbean in the early 16th century.
