Scientific Revolution
Michael K. 7th Period
Scientific Revolution changes Europeans' minds and thoughts.
Who were the people associated with the change?
Galileo
Copernicus
Kepler
Isaac Newton
Andreas Vesalius & Robert Boyle
Two scientists barely acknowledged were Andreas Vesalius & Robert Boyle. Andreas Vesalius was the man who discovered the human body, the parts and how it works. Also known as human anatomy.
Robert Boyle was the man who thoroughly broke Chemistry down and helped us understand in a way we can all absorb the information.
How did the change impact society at the time?
The change went greatly against Christian views. Christians believed the world was geocentric (Earth is the center of the universe and all things revolve around it), rather than heliocentric (The sun is the center of the solar system and the planets of our solar system including Earth revolve around the sun).
How is that change evident in today's modern society?
To this day, we are still being taught these discoveries. It led to even more discoveries and vaccinations. Space agencies have been booming in research and success. We use the basis of their vaccines in the ones we use today. Isaac Newton's laws of motions created new machines utilizing these theories to their advantage. The world still uses a plethora of ideas and fundamentals started by these famous and successful scientists.
