Scientific Revolution D139
During the
17th century
18th century
16th century
So the time of Scientific Revolution, was when people would look for answers, not so much through the church but they began to look for answers to nature through Reason & Scientific Observation, which we do largely today
There were five theorise of five discoveries that took place during this time. It revolutionized people's thinking about the natural world
3)
Galileo Galilei
He is going to invent a telescope but he is not the first person to invent it
He does make a telescope that people can look up into the planets and see what's taking place
So the importance of his telescope that he invents is that fact that with this telescope he looks up and sees what both Kepler and Copernicus had been attempting to prove in the years before
4)
Isaac Newton
Law of Gravity
People believed for a long time that the Earth was in one specific sphere like if you dropped a ball on Earth, that it would fall and then there were certain rules for outer space, so the Sun and the moon and the planets had their own rules and that was why they never fell to Earth
2)
Johannes Kepler
He talks about
Planetary Motion
and he said that all of the things that Copernicus said are in fact true, the Sun is the centre of the solar system and the planets do go around the Sun but what he noticed as he looked out again through
Scientific Observation
he noticed that the planets actually moved in ellipses that they weren't actually moving in perfect circles but they were moving in almost what would be like an oval type of pattern as they revolved around the Sun
So he is known for his studies of planetary motion
5)
William Harvey
Circulation of Blood
He discovered that blood actually circulates through the system, bringing from the heart, oxygen to the rest of the system
1)
A polish man named Nicholas Copernicus
He introduces what is called the 'Heliocentric Theory'
It was the Sun rather than the Earth was the centre of our solar system and that the Earth, as well as the other planets, revolved around the Sun. Which was very different than what people had thought before. They thought
geocentric theory
which was that the Earth was the centre of the solar system and that the Sun went around the Earth.
If people had questions about nature, about life, about the way things worked, people would go to the church and the church would very often default either to the Bible or to ancient Rome or Greece
During the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, people begin to emphasize this idea of reason
They would the answers to things based on their observation of science and what was taking place around them
^They would systematically look at problems and answer questions to those problems based on what science was telling them
