Scientific Revolution
Sasha L. 6th
What was the change?
A major change in European thought, starting in the mid-1500s, in witch the study of the natural world began to be characterized by careful observations and the questioning of accepted beliefs.
Who were the people associated with the change?
Galileo Galilei
- He used a telescope
- He traced Venus
- He was on house arrest most of his life
Nicolaus Copernicus
- He found out that the sun was in the middle of the solar system instead of the earth
Johannes Kepler
- He analyze the observations that Tycho had made of Mars
- He wrote a book called Astronomia Nova
- He came up with three laws and put two of them in his book and another one in his Harmonices Mundi
How did the change impact society at the time?
It let people know about the thing that they thought was true at the time that wasn't, but also got to use things that was invented at the time too. like for instance Galilei invented to telescope, Copernicus discovered that the sun was in the middle of the solar system and the earth wasn't, and Kepler made up three laws for the plants moving during the ellipses with the sun and he also put it in the book he wrote.
Galilei inventing the telescope help people see the moon,stars, and all the plants.
How is that change evidenced in today's modern society?
Many of the thing that was discovered during that time is still used and known till this day. Like how Copernicus discovered that the sun was in the middle of the solar system and in science we learned that. Galilei invented the telescope till this day people use the to see the stars and even bigger models are made. Kepler book is still read so people can make new discoveries off of what he already came up with.
