Scientific Revolution
Bettina R. 2nd
What was the change?
The start of this time was the start of developing new scientific ideas and thoughts. Even things such as medicine, physics, mathematics, biology and chemestry began to develope more than before. The way that the people saw the world and earth was different as many scholars began to question the churches authorities. More and more people wondered if there was more, leading to many new discoveries.
Who were the people associated with this change?
Johannes Kepler
A German astronomer as well as a mathematician who discovered the three laws of planetary motion. His work was used to create Newtons Law of Gravitation.
Rene Descartes
A French philosopher,mathematician, and scientist who invented analytic geometry.
Isaac Newton
An English mathematician and physicist that is known for the law of gravitation. As well as the three laws of motion and calculus.
How did that change impact society at the time?
How is that change evidenced in today's modern society?
The discoveries that they have made life not so much of a question in today's society. We can now look at something microscopic. We wouldn't have found the cure to as many illnesses without the microscope, nor would we be able to study a cell or even an atom. Without the barometer we wouldn't be able to find out the winds pressure at the current time. Even though it was only a few inventions and discoveries, they were one of the most important in contributing to today.
