Through the duration of the 16th and 17th century‚ the scientific method was the shift in the perspective of one’s way of seeing the world. This newfounded process urged philosophers to question tradition and build on rational‚ logical thought to draw conclusions. The scientific revolution brought light to new theories‚ such as the heliocentric system‚ which became a growing foundation for scientist to continue to research off of‚ and these theories being proven challenged the church by going against

Giovanni Demisiani for one of Galileo Galilei’s instruments presented at a banquet at the Accademia dei Lincei in the Starry Messenger‚ Galileo had used the term "perspicillum". History The earliest recorded working telescopes were the refracting telescopes that appeared in the Netherlands in 1608. Their development is credited to three individuals: Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen‚ who were spectacle makers in Middelburg‚ and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar.[4] Galileo heard about the Dutch telescope

religion lay at the centre of society in Rome‚ the question is brought up whether people can be morally sound if they go against their religion for any reason. However‚ as a dedicated scientist Galileo values scientific knowledge and can no longer accept the theory of Aristotle’s “crystal spheres” (page‚ 41). Galileo rejects the Ptolemaic theory that the earth is the centre of the universe and instead proves the Copernican‚ heliocentric theories that suggest the earth moves around the

Copernicus were Tycho‚ Kepler‚ Galileo‚ and Newton. Tycho devised the most precise instruments available before the invention of the telescope for observing the heavens.("The observations of‚" 2010) Kepler developed three laws of planetary motion. He stated that the orbits of the planets are elliptical‚ that the planets revolve around the Sun at different speeds‚ and that there is a proportional relation between a planet’s orbital period and its distance to the Sun. Galileo was a backer of Copernican

from the various dogmas of philosophies and also from wrong laws of demonstration." He called these idols‚ Idols of the Theatre‚ in which he goes on to talk about how common errors in thinking keep people from arriving at the truth. Descartes‚ Galileo‚ and Montaigne are three historic figures whom have tried to fix these errors in thinking in their own writing. Descartes was a noble man and tried very hard to see things in a different light from everyone else. In doing this he came up with

of Giordano Bruno was condemn to death in Rome by burning for his belief that the Earth revolted around the sun (Sobel 4). Little did Galileo know at the time he would have to defend himself from persecution by the Catholic Church for his views on the universe as well. Later Galileo would become the spoke person for the heliocentric model (Kinkel 4). Galileo began to work on his own telescope in 1609 designed after the one Hans Lippershey patented in 1608 (Winschel 14). He designed his telescope

Jessica Guisti Science and Belief Extra Credit Galileo believed in the helio-centric theory of Copernicus. Even though at the time of this theory there was nothing that proved it wrong until the Jupiter moons proved Ptolemy wrong‚ they did not prove Copernicus right. Then Tycho Brahe came along at the time that alternative explanations of planetary movements and introduced an intermediate theory that used mathematics in creating a model in which the planets revolved around the sun and together
