The Scientific Revolution
Dre Henderson
What was the change?
Who were the people involved with the change?
Nicolaus Copernicous
Nicolaus Copernicous was a early 1500s man that became intrigue with the idea that the sun sits in the middle of the earth and everything in the universe rotated around it. He studied planets for 25 years and today we call his studies the heliocentric theory. He helped us use his theory today which helped us develop the theory that everything surrounds the sun instead of the moon.
Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kelper born in the late 1500s as a poor sickly child with very poor family. Even with a very poor family he earned a scholarship from the university of Tubingen. At his university this is where he was introduced to the ideas of Copernicous. After leaving the school he met a man named Tycho who helped kelper make his first two planetary motion laws before he died in 1601. His first law was that the orbit of each planet is an ellipse eith the sun at on focus of the ellipse. his second law was that a planet orbital speed changes with its distance from the sun. He had another law but these were the ones we contributed to our main law today.
Galileo Galileli
Galileo Galilei was born in the late 1500s he came from a moderate family. Galileo was a mathematician who discovered the law of inertia. Inertia is the therory that all objects resist changes in there state of motion. After realeasing his law to the public he was killed for treason. This is a very important law that we use alot today.
Isaac Newton
Issac Newton was born in the early 1600s unlike nicolaus, johannes, and galileo he was around longer than all of them. Out of them all Newton was the main one that i knew about becuase of his brilliant ideas. Newtons first law was that a quantity will always move on in the straight line unless some eternal cause divert it. This law is the law of motion this law applies to in our everyday life to day.
How can we still see changes from the Scientific Revolution in today's society?
These laws are very important to we use these in our everyday life like gravity, motion, and inertia are the reason our scientist know what we know it helped us understand so much so that we could have the technology today.
