scientific revolution
By:Jamea wilson
WHAT WAS THE CHANGE ?
The scientific revolution changed the way people thought the universe was. The same spirit of inquiry that fueled the renaissance, led scientists to question the universe.so people went from thinking the earth was the center of the universe (geocentric theory) to the sun was the center of the universe (heliocentric theory).And these were the scientists of this time that discovered and proved it all ,Nicolaus Corpernicus,Gallileo Gallilei,and Isaac Newton.
The impact it had on society
The scientific revolution had far reaching effects.Not only did it change what people thought about the universe , the use of the scientific method resulted in discoveries in medicine, physics ,and biology.
the three important scientists
Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus copernicus developed the heliocentric model of the universe. That shows the sun is the center and the earth revolves around it.Despite his calculations many scholars didn't agree with his theory and continued to believe the geocentric model.
Galileo Galilei
Galileo continues Copernicus' work by observing the sky with his home made telescope.Although he was able to prove Copernicus correct his work was rejected by the church and he was forced to recant (take it back) or face execution.
Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton built on the earlier work of Copernicus and Galileo's research and used mathematics to explain gravity is the force that keeps planets revolving around the sun.He also explained that this same force is what pulls and holds objects on th ground.
Change evidenced in today's modern society
modern society
In modern society we still use telescopes but more advanced ones.And we also have pictures of the solar system that shows that the planet orbit around the sun not the other way around.scientists also invented rockets for us to go into space to see for our selves what i looks like.so we still use and believe in the same thing just in better way.

heliocentric theory
The sun is the center of the universe
