After the Industrial Revolution
Embracing the Industrialization (Science Imagination)
Galileo
"Galileo explained the phenomena"
Jules Vernes firmly believed Galileo's research and used it as the main evidence for his imagination of space and the moon: "to which he assigned a mean altitude of 27,000 feet"
Newton
"Some seconds of a Pascal or a Newton are more precious than the whole existence of a crowd of raw simpletons"
Newton was seen more as a "god-like" figure for Jules Vernes making references to Newton and praising his achievements: "Scientific men like Archimedes, Euclid, Pascal, Newton?"
"It was Newton, which Barbicane recognized without trouble, by referring to the Mappa Selenographica."
Kepler
"With regard to this, Barbicane related Kepler’s singular opinion on the formation of circles."
"but it is probable that Kepler did not know the true dimensions of these circles"
Kepler was referenced in Jules Verne's imagination, however, to a lesser extent because Kepler doesn't have the same image and reputation as Galileo or Newton.
Thinking about other areas of life - rejecting industrialization (Romantic Imagination)
Newton
"Newton deduced it"
Edgar Allan Poe Often mentioned Newton in a pejorative way, using words like "deduced" instead of "Explained" or "proved". Edgar Allan Poe also questioned Netwon's legitimacy.
"Let us now see whether the established facts of the Newtonian Gravitation may not afford us, à posteriori, some legitimate inductions."
Kepler
"Kepler admitted that these laws he guessed"
"Kepler was essentially a theorist"
Edgar Allan Poe referred to Kepler in an very pejorative way with words such as "guessed" or "theorist", questioning his legitimacy
