Сto yield to nobody when one is doing what
is rightdo not refuse to accept a reward or position which one deservesto be
behind none in the desire to benefit mankind.Aristotle differed from Plato
both in the aims of his philosophy and in the methods of his investigation. In
his Ethica he states that, while both Plato and truth are dear to him, he is
bound to prefer truth.
While Aristotle was a biologist of note, even if we allow for some rather
peculiar lapses, his views on physics and astronomy were hopelessly muddled.
Plato, combining the Milesian and Pythagorean traditions, had been much nearer
the mark, and so were later Hellenistic scientists like Aristarchus and
Eratosthenes. Aristotle's most famous contribution to systematic thought is
probably his work in logic.

While at Oxford he was the leader of a group of scientists known as the
Invisible College, which in 1663 was incorporated as the Royal Society of
London. Although Boyle was invited to be president of this organization in 1680,
he refused because he had religious scruples against taking an oath. Boyle was
deeply religious. At Geneva he had been under strong Calvinist influence which
deeply impressed him and gave his life a serious character.
ROYAL SOCIETY is the oldest scientific society in the world and probably the

most famous. The full title of the organization is The Royal Society of London
for Improving Natural Knowledge. It grew out of weekly meetings which London
scientists held as early as 1645. In 1660, the society was officially organized
with the approval of King Charles II.Charles I
In 1662, the society was formally incorporated by charter of Charles II as
the Royal Society of London for Promoting Natural Knowledge, or, as it is
popularly known, the Royal Society. From its earliest years, the Society
maintained correspondence with Continental philosophers, and selections from
this correspondence became the world-famous Philosophical Transactions. Sir
Isaac Newton was the Society's president from 1703 until his death in 1727. In
the approximately 300 years of its existence, the Society has sponsored numerous
scientific expeditions and extensive research, including, in recent years, a
notable series of investigations of tropical diseases.

Newton discovered that sunlight is a mixture of light of all colors. He
passed a beam of sunlight through a glass prism and studied the colors that were
produced.By passing a beam of sunlight through a prism, Newton showed that
white light is made up of the rainbow's colors.
He made great discoveries in the field of mathematics. He is credited with
inventing integral and differential calculus.
He was the first to state the laws of gravitation.

Kangarooд
Kangaroo courtA kangaroo court is an illegal mock or sham court, usually one
set up by inmates of a prison to levy fines and punishment on other inmates who
violate the code. Such organizations, usually very informal in nature, exist
in most large prisons and are even encouraged by some wardens as a useful device
for maintaining order. The name probably originated at the time when Australia,
land of the kangaroo, was the penal colony for the British Empire. The term has
occasionally-and inaccurately-been applied to the kind of roadside justice of
the peace court which exists only to collect fines from motorists caught in
speed traps.
