by Wendy portillo
What was the scientific revolution?
scientific revolution took place from the sixteenth century trough, seventeen century through the seventeenth century and saw the formation of conceptual methodological and institutional approaches to the natural world that are recognizably like those up modern science. it should not be seen as a revolution in science but a revolution in thought and practice that brought about modern science.
who were the people associated with the change?
Galileo
Italian natural philosopher, astronomer and matematican.
Copernicus
German Astronomer who biscovered three major laws or plants.
Kepler
Far more important for astronomy was the idea that seized Kepler on July 9, 1595. It appeared to him that the respective radii of the orbits of the planets corresponded to the lengths determined by a specific sequence in which the five regular solids were placed within one another, with a sphere separating each solid from the other.
How did the change impact society at the time
Led people to question the church, inspired great artistic achievements, led to new ideas about government, religion, education, and economics.
how is that change evidenced in today's modern society.
Today we know that the world is a globe. During earlier times, they thought that the world was flat and that the Earth revolved around the sun. However, due to the experiments of Kepler, Galileo and Copernicus, we now know that this is not true. This has led to advancements in the sciences and technology.
