Despite bitter opposition from both Catholic and Protestant religious authorities‚ the views of the astronomers and scientists didn’t change. Leading figures of the Scientific Revolution included Isaac Newton‚ Nicolaus Copernicus‚ Galileo Galilei‚ Johannes Kepler‚ and many others. The Scientific Revolution is very important because it set the foundation for the modern view of the universe that we hold today. What we know about

action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or‚ the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal. The works of Euclid (c. 300BCE) in Greece was the origin of optics. In 1604‚ Kepler published a book called Astronomiae Pars Optica (The Optical Part of Astronomy) Kepler approached optics by breaking organic reality into what he considered to be ultimately real units. He developed a geometric theory of lenses‚ providing the first mathematical account of Galileo’s telescope

the earth. This way‚ the earth is still special but it was also acceptable to admit what really happens in space. Through the aforementioned collection of data‚ Brahe’s assistant Johannes Kepler‚ who was given the task of continuing Brahe’s work after his death‚ gathered a basis for his 3 Laws of Planetary Motion. Kepler‚ being a religious man‚ saw the sun as a symbol of God the Father. Thus he concluded that the sun was what forced all the planets to move in the manner they do. He then from there

I have no idea how to make my thesis statement!! The Scientific Revolution lasted between 1540-1690. Although in 1453 the Ottoman Turks invaded the city Constantinople‚ scholars fled west bringing ancient knowledge just in time as Europe started to challenge Aristotle’s physics. Advancements in many fields of science were made. Astronomy was the highest developed field advanced during the Scientific Revolution. A majority was relating to work from Aristoles. Until the Scientfic Revolution many theorised

the bodies of the solar system. But there was a man who did not agree with Ptolemy and his name was Nicholas Copernicus‚ he believed in a heliocentric system which pretty much means the sun is at the center of everything. Galileo Galilee and Johannes Kepler shortly have noticed other moons of many other planets in the system that proved Copernicus’ theory to be

Luther believed there was no one but Christ between men and God so the Bishops and Popes were irrelevant. Luther stated the church was abusing their power by asking for money. The printing press is an important piece of history from the Renaissance. Johannes Gutenberg and Johann Fust created a printing in 1446 and began printing the Bible. In 1455 the first copy of the Bible came out and it was the first printed book ever. This event was significant because people could get Bibles. It meant not just

The Scientific Revolution and The Enlightenment The scientific revolution and the enlightenment are two major historical events that helped shape modern Western society. Beginning in the 14th century‚ these events were preceded by the renaissance‚ which was initiated in Italy and was the rebirth of classical Greco-Roman heritage. The aim of these intellectual movements was mainly to revive rational thought through science and reason‚ evidently bringing about the opposition of the Christian church

Newton ’s Law of Universal Gravitation Gravity if one of the four fundamental forces in the universe. Though the fundamental principles of it eluded scientists until Sir Isaac Newton was able to mathematically describe it in 1687 (Eddington 93). Gravity plays a serious part in everyday actions as it keeps everything on the ground; without gravity everything would be immobile unless a force was applied (then it would move infinitely because there would be no force to stop it).
