Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the idea that the sun was stationary object centered in the middle of the universe as the earth spun around it‚ which lead to the heliocentric model.

Galileo conducted controlled experiments to find out why things actually happened with the ideas of motion. He proved that gravity produced uniform acceleration. He went on to experiment that objects continue to move in motion forever unless stopped by some external force. Galileo after the discovery of the telescope went on to further discover

Galileo performed a number of experiments to Aristotle’s pronouncements‚ that two objects of different weight dropped from the same height fall down at exactly the same rate. -Copernicus published his findings in 1543‚ the same years as his death‚ in a text entitled (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres). -Heliocentric theory was proposed by Aristarchus of Samos

Critical Analysis of Thomas Kuhn’s “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” “In learning a paradigm‚ the scientist acquires theory‚ methods‚ and standards together‚ usually in an inextricable mixture. Therefore‚ when paradigms change‚ there are usually significant shifts in the criteria determining the legitimacy both of the problems and of proposed solutions.” – Thomas Kuhn. This quote is from Thomas Kuhn’s work The Structure of Scientific Revolution‚ in which Kuhn describes his view on

Another example is scientists like Copernicus‚ Galileo Palilie‚ Kepler put forward theory that Earth is not static and Sun is not revolving around Earth instead‚ Earth is rotating around Sun. It was highly criticized by the church and contemporaries at that time. Galileo even faced blasphemy from pope but later it was seen that those were great discoveries and names of these scientists highly eulogized
