Scientific Revolution
Objectives
- Copernicus was an astronomer who lived in the early 1500s. He came up with the idea that the Sun was the center of the universe. This was very different from the current belief that the Earth was the center.
-
- Italian scientist and scholar Galileo made pioneering observations that laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy. His research into the pendulum help to develop the modern clock.
-
- Scientists like Francis Bacon, Galileo, Rene Descartes, and Isaac Newton made discoveries that would change the world.
-
- An astronomical clock is a clock with special mechanisms and dials to display astronomical information, such as the relative positions of the sun, moon, zodiacal constellations, and sometimes major planets.
-
- Near the end of the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution began. This was a time of great strides in science and mathematics.
