The Scientific Revolution

Objectives Explain how new discoveries in astronomy changed the way people viewed the universe. Understand the new scientific method and how it developed. Analyze the contributions that Newton and other scientists made to the Scientific Revolution.

Terms and People Nicolaus Copernicus – Polish astronomer who proposed a heliocentric model of the universe heliocentric –idea that the sun, not the Earth, was at the center of the universe Tycho Brahe – Danish astronomer who collected data to prove that Copernicus was correct Johannes Kepler – mathematician who plotted the orbits of planets and discovered they are elliptical Galileo – scientist who proved that the Earth moves around the sun; in 1633, the Inquisition forced him to recant his heliocentric views

Terms and People (continued) Francis Bacon – English thinker who, with Descartes, rejected the assumptions of Aristotle; stressed experimentation and observation René Descartes – French philosopher and mathematician who proposed the need to search for provable knowledge scientific method – a step-by-step process of discovery requiring the collection of accurately measured data hypothesis – a logical or possible explanation to a problem to be tested using the scientific method 4

Terms and People (continued) Robert Boyle – scientist who explained all matter as being composed of tiny particles that behave in knowable ways; proposed laws governing gases Isaac Newton – scientist who argued that there were uniform laws of nature and that all motions could be measured mathematically gravity – force that keeps planets in orbit; proposed by Newton calculus – a branch of mathematics partially developed by Newton 5

How did discoveries in science lead to a new way of thinking for Europeans? In the mid-1500s, a profound shift in scientific thinking brought the final break with Europe’s medieval past. At the heart of this Scientific Revolution was the assumption that mathematical laws governed nature and the universe. Therefore, people could know, manage, and shape the physical world.

Until the mid-1500s, Europeans accepted the idea that the Earth was the center of the universe. This geocentric view was developed in ancient times by Aristotle and Ptolemy. By the Renaissance, it had become official Church doctrine.

Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus challenged this view. In 1543, he proposed a heliocentric, or sun-centered, model of the solar system. The Earth and other planets revolved around the sun. This 1660 diagram shows a heliocentric solar system

Copernicus’s revolutionary theory was rejected. If the classic scholars were questioned, then all knowledge might be called into question. Johannes Kepler used Brahe’s data to calculate the orbits of the planets. Kepler found that the planets don’t move in perfect circles as earlier believed. But careful observations by Tycho Brahe supported Copernicus.

In Italy, Galileo Galilei built a telescope and observed several moons in orbit around Jupiter. This contradicted Church doctrine that the Earth was the center of the universe. He said these movements were the same as those of the planets around the sun. Galileo was tried for heresy and forced to recant his theories before the Inquisition.

Despite opposition from the Church, a new approach to science emerged during the early 1600s. Scientists rediscovered Greek philosopher Plato, who saw mathematics as the key to learning about the universe. Francis Bacon and René Descartes challenged medieval scholarship that sought only to make the world fit into the teachings of the Church.

Bacon and Descartes argued that truth is not known at the beginning of the inquiry, but rather at the end. Bacon stressed observation and experimentation. He wanted science to improve people’s lives by developing practical technologies.

The only thing he could not question was doubt. Descartes emphasized human reasoning as the best road to understanding. In his Discourse on Method (1637), he discarded all traditional authorities to search for knowledge that was provable. The only thing he could not question was doubt. Since he could doubt, he had to exist as a rational being. “I think, therefore I am.” —Descartes

Over time, scientists developed a step-by-step scientific method Over time, scientists developed a step-by-step scientific method. It required the collection of accurate data and the proposal of a logical hypothesis to be tested.

There were dramatic advances in medical knowledge in the 1500s and 1600s. In 1543, Andreas Vesalius published On the Structure of the Human Body, the first accurate and detailed study of human anatomy. In the early 1540s, Ambroise Paré developed new surgical techniques and tools, artificial limbs, and ointments to prevent infection.

There were dramatic advances in medical knowledge in the 1500s and 1600s. William Harvey described the circulation of blood, showing that the heart was a pump. Anton van Leeuwenhoek perfected the microscope and became the first person to see cells and microorganisms.

In the 1600s, English chemist Robert Boyle: Medieval chemists, called alchemists, had believed that any substance could be turned into any other and tried to transform ordinary metals into gold. In the 1600s, English chemist Robert Boyle: Explained that all matter is composed of tiny particles that behave in knowable ways Defined the difference between individual elements and compounds Explained the effect of temperature and pressure on gases

Isaac Newton linked science and mathematics. Newton theorized that gravity was the force that controls the movements of the planets. He believed that all motion in the universe can be measured and described mathematically. He contributed to the development of calculus, a branch of mathematics, to help explain his laws.
