1 answer:

8 0

The Catholic church declared Galileo was heretic because he claimed that the sun, and not the earth, was the centre of the universe, and that the latter moved around the first. This claim was against the geocentric posture that the church preached. Galileo defended himself saying that the Bible could never be wrong when it's truly understood, but that it was very complex to do so.

Why was the airplane invented the time it did? Why not 10 years later?

Rufina [12.5K]

While many believe that the airplane was invented by the Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk, N.C., the first man to fly was New Zealander Richard Pearse in 1902, eight months before the Wright brothers first flew. Pearse, according to witnesses, flew a length of 50 to 400 yards in a heavier-than-air machine. Pearse's aircraft was the first to use proper ailerons, which allowed the wings to warp and turn the aircraft. Though many credit the invention of airplanes to the Wright brothers, Richard Pearse never reported his inventions because he didn't know there was any interest in flying.

Though the Wright brothers tested many gliders in the early 1900s, none of them counted as an actual aircraft, and the brothers didn't achieve flight until late 1903 with their first plane, the Flyer I. The craft weighed over 600 pounds, and Orville Wright was the first pilot. The craft remained airborne for 12 seconds and traveled a little over 120 feet.

What is the name of the theory that eisenhower coined in reference to the danger of the spread of communism in southeast asia?

Andru [333]

Answer:

Domino Theory

Explanation:

The Domino Theory referred to the idea that if a country became communist, neighboring countries would become communist too, in a more or less short time frame.

The name from the theory comes from the fact that when dominoes are arranged vertically, if one domino falls down, all the other fall down as well.

The Domino Theory was one of the basis for the Vietnam War. The American leadership believed that if Vietnam became communist, neighboring countries such as Laos, Thailand or Malasya would soon become communist too.

In the end, the Domino Theory did not prove fully correct. For example, while Laos did become communist soon after, niether Thailand nor Malasya became so.
