- Johannes Kepler
- Translation by William H. Donahue
Provided strong arguments for heliocentrism and contributed valuable insight into the movement of the planets, including the first mention of their elliptical path and the change of their movement to the movement of free floating bodies as opposed to objects on rotating spheres (two of Kepler's laws). One of the most important works of the Scientific Revolution.

- Nicolaus Copernicus
- Translation by Charles Glen Wallis
Favored the heliocentric model (first advanced by Aristarchus) over the Ptolemaic model of the solar system; sometimes credited with starting the Scientific Revolution in the Western world.

Related to Stern-Gerlach post
It seems there is no translation from German to English for "Das magnetische Moment des Silberatoms" or "The magnetic moment of silver atoms" paper on the internet. If you can get it or translate it please send it to @NADrezaERI so we can share it with others.

- Walther Gerlach, Otto Stern
This important experiment on a beam of particles through a magnetic field described the experimental observation that their deflection takes only certain quantized values was important in leading to the concept of a new quantum number, spin.
