THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION
CREATER: Tyrese Montgomery
" What's the change? "
The change was in European thought, starting in the mid-1500s, in which the study of natural world began to be characterized by careful observation and questioning of accepted beliefs. Scholars started questioning ideas that had been accepted for many years. The religious movement, Reformation, prompted followers to challenge the way people thought of God and salvation
The People Associated With The Change
Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus was an Polish cleric and astronomer; he said that the sun was the center of the universe. He was able to state this fact because he studied planetary movement for over twenty-five years. What Nicolaus did is important because it changed the way people thought about the universe, making more people want to find out for themselves.
Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kepler started out as an for Tycho Brahe, an Danish Astronomer. Kepler was an brilliant mathematician, that continued Brahe's work after his death. He stated that planets revolved around the sun in elliptical orbits, instead of circles. Kepler's information was important, because it created more thought about how the universe works.
Galileo Galilei
Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientists that built on theories about astronomy. He discovered that Jupiter had four moons and the sun had dark spots; he said the Earth's moon had a rough uneven surface. All of this was possible because of the microscope he built. Galilei studied heavens in 1609 and published a book by the name of "Starry Messenger". The laws and observations of Galilei supported Copernicus theories. Galileo's facts were important, because he made people think twice about the church, what people have been saying previously about God and the sun being the center of the universe.
Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton was an English scientist that studied mathematics and physics. He went to Cambridge University. By the time Newton was twenty-six, he realized all physical objects affected equally by the same force. This was important, because it put the cap on all doubts about how the universe moved and how it was ordered.
" How Did The Change Impact Society At The Time "
The change impacted society at the time by creating logical procedures for gathering and testing idea, which was called the Scientific Method. The Scientific Method made people prove if their ideas were right or wrong to help save the people that were right from being punished by the church
" How Is That Change Evidenced In Today's Modern Society? "
The change is evident in today's society, because in science during all ideas or experiments there's a scientific method to go along with it. There's a scientific method to go along with the experiments to prove the point of the experiment, how to repeat it, and what's the final outcome of it.
