What Is The Scientific Revolution?
The Scientific Revolution is a historical change in thought and belief. It changes in social and institutional organization. It roughly unfolded in Europe during 1500-1700. The Scientific Revolution included many important people like Galileo, Copernicus,Kepler.
Who were the people associated with the change?
Gaileo (1564-1642)
Galileo was a Italian astronomer and has been called "The Founder of Modern Science". During his early life, he was interested in studying the effect of forces on the motion of bodies. In 1609, he discovered four moons revolving around Jupiter. In his honor,these bodies are named the Galilean satellites. In 1633, Galileo was brought before the Inquisition ,and punished by being told he could not leave his house. Galileo became blind in 1637 and he died on January 8,1642. Without Galileo, we wont be using the telescope or studying space
Copernicus (1473-1543)
Copernicus was a Polish astronomer and have been considered the " Founder of Modern Astronomy". During his early life, he went to the University of Krakow, where he learned liberal arts such as astronomy and astrology. Around 1490, Copernicus revolutionary idea was that the Earth should be regarded as one of the planets that revolved around the sun. In 1514, he wrote a book that shows the final version of his theory. In May 24, 1543 he died.The day his book was released. Without Copernicus, we would still believe that the Earth is in the center of everything.
Kepler(1571-1630)
Kepler was a Renaissance astronomer and astrologer. He is best known for his discovery that orbits in which Earth, and the other planets of the solar system travel around the sun are elliptical or oval, in shape. During, his work he created three laws of motion: 1) the path of every planets' in its motion about the Sun forms an ellipse, with the Sun at one focus. 2) the speed of a planet in its orbit varies so that a line joining it with the Sun sweeps over equal areas in equal times. 3) the squares of a planet periods of revolution are proportional to the cubes of the plants' mean distances from the Sun. Kepler was the one that informed Galileo about his invention with the telescope.Kepler was the one who invented the present-day form of the astronomical telescope. He wrote a book called "Dioptics", that published in 1611. Kepler died on November 15, 1630, Without Kepler, we wont know or have the three laws of motion.
How Did The Change Impact Society At The Time?
The Scientific Revolution was a fundamental change in direction of Western thought . It change about how people think about science and life. Scientific methods that began with restoration of the heliocentric model of the universe, changed how people think about the universe. The scientist also impacted the way we think and how we think about life and science.
How Is That Changed Evidenced In Today's Modern Society?
The advanced technology that we have now is more advance that it is back than. The beginning of using calculus is a big impact of science today. The result of scientific methods is being tested in many ways. More people are more interested in science than people back than. More people started to think differently than back than, because people believed and think the same way.
