How is Newton's theory of gravitation, Einstein's theory of relativity and Darwin's theory of evolution similar?
***This has something to do with how they looked at the world in a new way. So how did all three do this? Any help will be appreciated!

I believe all 3 tried to explain processes that were invisible to the naked eye.
(1) Newton really thought about why we are pulled down and not floating around. Of course you can't see gravity in terms of a tangible item. But through equations (and the guy was a freakin' genius!) and assumptions, he was able to set the groundwork for physics.
(2) Again, like Newton, Einstein thought beyond our world and starting pondering the mysteries of the universe. His theory is the most abstract of the 3 but no one has been able to creadibly refute it encouraging scientists to pursue deeper understandings of our universe.
(3) During Darwin's lifetime, it was accepted, in Western nations, that the Christian god was responsible for the creation of the earth. The finches of the Galapagose Islands are one of the best examples of Darwin building his case for evolution via Natural Selection. He categorized birds into the same genus, but different species due to adaptions each had taken to forage for food. No one can see Natural Selection like we can see a painter painting. But we can see the evidence of it acting upon all organisms; some easier than other.
hope this helps!
