This video covers the history of classical physics, from the ancient Greeks to the Enlightenment. It highlights the contributions of Galileo Galilei and other Renaissance thinkers, who reintroduced ancient Greek concepts into modern science. This led to the exploration of new phenomena, and the development of modern physics. One of the pioneers of this era, Robert Boyle, also made significant contributions to chemistry.

• 00:05:00 This video describes the development of classical physics, starting with the work of Othon von Quelet on air pressure, in order to refute Aristotle's theory about the nature of space. With the help of Robert Hooke, von Quelet develops improvements to his construction in 1659, developing the engine motor. This begins a series of experiments on the properties of air, culminating in Boyle's law on gases, which describes the behavior of gases. Boyle's contributions to electricity, color, and hydrodynamics were some of the discoveries of Robert Hooke. Robert Hooke also played a major role in the development of classical mechanics, sharing ideas with Newton on gravity and this would be the foundation for Newton's theories on motion, published in his book, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, in 1687. These three laws of motion are the basis of Newton's work in which he details the movement of bodies in space, their relationship to resistance and velocity, and the system of the world in this book, Newton not only makes great contributions to mechanics, but also to mathematics, as he along with Snis, thanks to his ingenious and mathematical calculating abilities, provides the tools for the development of physics as a science capable of making predictions.
• 00:10:00 The history of classical physics covers the time period from the1600s to the 1800s. In this time, scientists developed a better understanding of laws that were uniform for natural phenomena. This led to the development of a greater systematization of a variety of studies in the late 1700s and early 1800s. This was known as the era of the lights, or the enlightenment. Institutions such as the English Royal Society and the French intellectual spirit were spreading new ideas throughout the continent. This new vision was coexist with the beginning of the industrial revolution. Classical physics began to study the behavior of matter at a higher level. The retroalimentation between science and technology in society helped propel revolutions all over the world. By the end of the 18th century, all investigations were based on the synthesized ideas of Newton and shared by other scientists with the new ideas. This was the beginning of the so-called era of the lights, or the enlightenment, which included the study of the mechanics of sound and fluids. This was started by mathematician and astronomer, Daniel Bernoulli. One of the important contributions of classical physics was the development of statistics. This was used to link the microscopic behavior of systems with their collective macroscopic
• 00:15:00 In the history of classical physics, one of the most important contributions is the principle of least action, which allows us to determine which path a body will follow in life based on certain calculations. These reforms made it easier to study mathematical and conceptual aspects of these phenomena, and this led to the realization that Newton's contributions were the foundation for numerous other works in physics. Scientific contributions to mechanics impacted the world of knowledge in a such way that now, with mathematically-based analysis that reflects what happens in reality, we arrived at the conclusion that humans are able to predict certain behaviors of nature, leading to a new worldview of reality that was gestating since Galileo and Descartes. The way in which mechanics impacted thought in the era can be seen in the words of Pierre-Simon Laplace, who considered the universe from a deterministic perspective. Laplace's belief that understanding the state of the world as the effect of its prior state and the cause of what is to come led to the assumption that all events are caused by other events and that this causal relationship can be expressed in terms of natural laws. This ambition reached its peak in the claims of Pierre-Simon Laplace that considered the universe from a perspective of determinism and that our life is the result
