With his superior light adjusting techniques, Leeuwenhoek was able to construct microscopes which could magnify over 200 times, enabling him to perceive small "animalcules" or bacteria in water.

Furthermore, in a letter, he reports how he had discovered in the plaque of two old men who had never brushed their teeth in their lives “an unbelievably great company of living animalcules, a-swimming more nimbly than any I had ever seen up to this time. The biggest sort. . . bent their body into curves in going forwards. . . Moreover, the other animalcules were in such enormous numbers, that all the water. . . seemed to be alive.”

The great scientist Isaac Newton said that his long studies of the moon gave him headaches.What do you think is complicated stud
Oduvanchick [21]
Well, using Math to see how far the Moon is from the Earth could be hard. Also, he saw that the Moon is moving in a "circle" instead of flying off, so the Earth did have a pull on the Moon so that it didn't fly away. Newton had to use Math in order to be able to identify what it's now called gravity. There's a lot that the Moon has to offer, there were no computers back then, so there's was no calculator and everything had to be done by hand.
