Scientific Revolution
Deondre' J. 6th Period
Who were the people asssociated with the change?
What was the change?
The scientific revolution changed the way people thought about the world around them. It introduced people to the scientific method teaching people the proper way to experiment. It showed us that the universe revolved around the sun and not the earth as people believed back then. Also many laws of motion and physics. We still use these findings in today's society.
Newton
He found mostly science and mathematics. He discovered the laws of gravity and also three laws of motion. He came up with the binomial theorem and also created calculus . Without the laws of motion we could not come up with vehicles to carry humans. Newton opened the eyes of humanity over 300 years ago.
Copernicus
Copernicus was one of the astronomers in the early 1500s. When everyone believed the earth was the center of the universe he showed us that the sun was. It also went against the theory that a Greek astronomer Ptolemy argued about, the theory that the Earth was a stationary sphere that was in the center of the Universe and that the other planets (including the Sun) was orbiting around the Earth.
Kepler
Johannes Kepler was the student of Tycho Brahe. He inherited his teachers findings. He came up with two laws of planetary motion. His most famous work was called "Epitome Astronmiae". While on a journey to collect debt he died.
Galileo
Galileo was an astronomer during the scientific revolution. He discovered four of Jupiter's major moons. He also discovered the sun spots on Venus showing that the sun revolved. He also discovered the principle of inertia.
How did the change impact the society at the time?
It improved science and medicine at the time. It gave them the scientific method which gave them steps to solve science equations. It also gave them information about the universe an dhow it is set up. But at the same time it caused problems with the church, mostly because it proved what they were teaching to be false.
How is that change evidence in today's modern society?
Today the scientific revolution still stands and is evident here is why we can say that. We use the scientific method in many of today's science experiments. It was expounded on but we can see that it is the same concept. We also use the astronomy that was discovered in today's history, we now know that the earth is revolved around the sun. we discover new discoveries on other planets that we wouldn't find without the discovery of astronomy.
