looking at history...

A few dates that will surprise many folks due to the way history classes tend to ignore science.

Nicolaus Copernicus 1473-1543
Galileo 1564-1642
Isaac Newton 1643-1727

Columbus "discovers" America 1492
Jamestown colony May, 1607
Plymouth Colony (Mayflower lading) November 1620

George Washington 1732-1799

How many of you realized which of those lives and events were contemporary *before* comparing the dates?
