However‚ his heliocentric theory published in his book‚ De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (or On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres) could not be proven while he was still alive‚ as the world lacked telescopes. Only later would Johannes Kepler confirm Copernicus’s idea with mathematical proof. Copernicus would not just start the path

Science and Religion: Two Separate Entities As a result of many new astronomical discoveries throughout the seventeenth century‚ it was clear science and religion greatly contradicted each other. Followed by the questioned findings of Nicolaus Copernicus‚ Galileo Galilei believed the sun was situated motionless in the center of the universe while the earth rotated on its axis‚ all the while revolving around the sun. This idea‚ though scientifically proven to be correct‚ completely opposed the

RENAISSANCE AND SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION: ROLE OF PRINT MEDIA In the 13th century a rediscovery of Greek and Roman literature occurred across Europe that eventually led to the development of the humanist movement in the next century.

The Brilliant Crimes of Galileo Galileo Galilei‚ was a man truly fit to be called the father of modern science‚ a man who became a symbol for the war between the Catholic Church and Science. As history shows us that the Catholic Church doctrines was against Galileo’s scientific discoveries in astronomy. It was one of the most important battles between religion and science‚ where faith and reason clashed. The Catholic Church regretted for the crime that had been committed against Galileo after

The Circular Revolution In the sixteenth century‚ the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus made a profound discovery: the sun‚ not the earth‚ was at the centre of the known universe. At the time‚ many denounced Copernicus’s insight as heresy against established Christian doctrine; eventually‚ of course‚ the Copernican Revolution paved the way toward a new‚ scientific worldview and enhanced human prosperity. Today‚ the world needs a similar paradigm shift. But this time‚ it is the prevailing economic
