Abstract
The subject matter of this article straddles the birth of modern science and involves several larger-than-life-figures–Nicolar Copernicus (1473-1543), Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) and Issac Newton (1642-1727). This account will be woven in a connected and coherent way around their lives and work. Copernicus came first in this group; then Brahe, Galileo and Kepler overlapped and were in contact with one another; and after they were all gone came Newton.
