14. Technology & the Scientific Revolution
Today’s LEQ: How did the Scientific Revolution advance the modern world? How did it conflict with the Catholic Church?

15. The Scientific Revolution
“The Renaissance enabled a scientific revolution which let scholars look at the world in a different light. Religion, superstition, and fear were replaced by reason and knowledge.”
- Scientist, J.D. Bernal
The Scientific Revolution was a major shift in science that took place in the mid 1500s and lasted until the mid 1700s. Without the changing ideals and values of the Renaissance, we wouldn’t have had the Scientific Revolution. As we go through this presentation, you’ll notice we’re still greatly impacted by the Scientific Revolution today.

16. A key difference… The Renaissance The Scientific Revolution
looked to the past.
The Scientific
Revolution
looked to the future.
Remember, humanists turned to ancient classical ideas. The Scientific Revolution was all about progress. Questioning and rejecting the old ideas about science, medicine, and technology and moving forward.

17. The Scientific Method New approach to science
Observations and experimentation
“. . .sciences are vain and full of errors that are not born of experience, the mother of all certainty.”
- Leonardo da Vinci
Despite opposition from religious authorities, a new approach to science came about by the 1600s. Instead of starting with Aristotle or the Bible, scientists began with observation and experiments. You’re probably familiar with the steps of the scientific method. I’m sure it’s popped up in past science classes…

18. You probably use this more than you think
You probably use this more than you think. Any time you problem solve, you’re using the scientific method. For example, I use these step any time I cook. I always start with the question, “Is this recipe going to taste good and/or will it be edible?” I research recipes online and in the cookbooks I own. I construct a hypothesis: If I use this specific recipe, the meal with be enjoyable.” I test it out. I analyze my results (did I get sick after eating the meal? How much did I enjoy the meal?” Finally, I conclude whether or not I’d use the recipe again. The scientific method is all about trial and error. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. Compare this chart to the coin flipping experiment we did…

19. Old Views vs. New Views
Old View: Aristotle’s geocentric theory: earth is center of universe
New View: Copernicus’s heliocentric theory: sun is center of universe

20. Many Resisted… Aristotle wrong?!?! Contradicted the church
In Europe at this time, all scientific knowledge and many religious teachings were based on the arguments developed by classical thinkers such as Ptolemy and Aristotle (also known as philosophers – Latin translation of philosophy is “love of wisdom”). If Ptolemy’s reasoning about the planets was wrong, they believed the whole system of human knowledge would have to be questioned. (Think about when you were a kid and you found out that Santa didn’t exist… You probably felt pretty crushed and started to question what else your parents were fibbing about… Times that shock and panic times a gazillion…)
Galileo just barely escaped death because his discoveries contradicted the church and caused such an uproar. In 1633 he was brought to trial and forced to withdraw his “heresies.” Galileo agreed to public state the Earth stood motionless at the center of the universe. However, when he was walking out he muttered under his breath, “Nevertheless, it does move.”

21. Galileo – telescope; theory that there is an entire universe
New Views Continued
Brahe - planets revolve around sun & rotation is oval (creating day and night)
Galileo – telescope; theory that there is an entire universe
Newton – theories on gravity & laws of motion
Europeans completely changed the way they viewed the universe. Christian teachings held that the heavens were fixed and unmoving, and that the earth was at the center. Copernicus challenged this longstanding idea with the heliocentric theory – the sun was at the center and the other planets revolved around the sun. Brahe set up an observatory and watched the sky for years, collecting data and reconfirming Copernicus’s theory. After Brahe’s death, Kepler used his data to calculate the orbits of the planets revolving around the sun. He discovered they didn’t move in perfect circles like Copernicus and Brahe originally thought. Instead, they moved in an orbital pattern called an ellipse.
Galileo – observed the motion of the planets through the first astronomical telescope he invented.
Newton ties it all together – explains the motion of the planets with gravity and the laws of motion.

23. Modern Philosophy Backed by reason and knowledge “I think therefore
I am.”
- Descartes
A new, modern philosophy developed that through reasoning rather than traditional sources of information (Aristotle, the Bible), we could discover basic truths about ourselves and the world in which we live.
