“I am deeply religious nonbeliever – this is a somewhat new kind of religion”-Albert Einstein. The Scientific Revolution was a period of great change in the daily life and future of many people. The Scientific Revolution was majorly during the years of 1550-1700 A.D. This movement emphasized thinking with logical explanations and experimentation instead of religion and faith. Even though religion was negatively affected in the Scientific Revolution, it had an overall positive affect on modern science and society as a whole. Anatomy was one area that changed for the better during the revolution. Before this revolution Galen had made a human
The telescope was invented by Galileo in 1609 and was initially used to observe ships pulling into port later, he luckily aimed it towards the heavens and found he could observe the different moons of Jupiter. These telescopes have been magnified by a thousand times to see a total of 73,321,200,000,000 miles farther than the moons of Jupiter. This also helped prove Copernicus’s theory in 1514 that the sun was the center of the universe not the Earth. Before this most of the people believed that the earth was the center of the universe because that is what their god had told them. The telescope had some importance in the advancements in the Physics field. Christian Huygens established the "Law of Inverse Squares." These are the laws of electric, radiation, and gravity. His laws help explain how these aspects are affected after going a longer distance. Without these laws, it would be hard to get even amount of power through a house or help explain radiation off of explosions and what path it takes, away from point of explosion. Without this we would try to use an explosive and it would not be strong enough to kill a certain person or destroy a certain amount of material. This could lead to death by person or not enough material blown away and left with a
The negative of losing people of faith it eventually gained that number back because people did realize that they had faith in God and that they still believed in the afterlife and reincarnation taught and preached about at church. Astronomy had breakthroughs in the layout of the universe. Physics had breakthroughs in gravity and laws of physics that without thinking affect our daily lives in even the smallest ways. Anatomy had breakthroughs in how blood pumped through the body of a human and how medicine was introduced to the body to cure the diseases. Without this how much farther away would we be to answer the question of “How did life
