SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION
Jatiana P. 1st Period
What was it?
The scientific revolution was the emergence of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, medicine, and chemistry transformed views of society and nature.
Nicolaus Copernicus
A mathematician and astronomer who proposed that the Sun was stationary in the center and the Earth revolved around it. He was important because he proposed the idea that the Earth revolved around the sun and other scientist built from that idea.
Johannes Kepler
German mathematician, astronomer, astrologer who modified the telescope so that images viewed wight side, the church did no like him, they pressed charges, and one of his discoveries were studying time intervals. He was important because he discovered the three laws of planetary motion and it later helped Newton out.
Galileo Galilei
Italian mathematician, astronomer, inventor, scientist, philosopher, physicist who arrived in Rome, and developed the Revolutionary idea that Earth orbits the sun. He was important because he discovered facts about space.
Isaac Newton
English physicist and mathematician who created laws of motion and universal gravitation that dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Built the first reflecting telescope, and developed a theory of color based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many color of the visible spectrum. He was important because he discovered gravity and proposed the three laws of motion.
How Did The Change Impact The Society At The Time?
It led people to question the Church, inspired great artistic achievements, led to new ideas about government, religion, education, and economics.
How Did The Change Evidence In Today's Society?
If the change had not happened we would be lost. Without telescopes we wouldn't know what the stars look like, we wouldn't know how the moon looked or anything. Basically, it helped us realize that some of the attributes are the reason why we know about the world now!
