1. Scientific Revolution About 1640-1730
“If you would be a real seeker after
truth, it is necessary that at least once in your
life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.”

2. The Scientific Revolution
Scientific Revolution- a series of changes that changed the way that scientists viewed the world
Scientific revolution did not affect most of Europe
illiterate and uneducated
Prepared the way for the modern world
Caused by:
the expansion of trade
medieval universities
interest in thought, mathematics and science

3. Main Aspects biology chemistry astronomy mathematics physics
philosophy

4. Nicolaus Copernicus Galileo Galilei
Polish scholar who published “On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Sphere”
This proposed that the earth was heliocentric
The theory was rejected at first
It was not accepted until Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler got information to support his theory
Galileo Galilei
Italian scientist who made an astronomical telescope
Moon was terrestrial and could have plants
Planets revolved around Jupiter
His observations caused uproar
People accused him of lying and he was threatened to death

5. Francis Bacon René Descartes Called old ways of thought “idols”
Knowledge should come from experience not books
Proposed Aristotelean model of induction and empiricism
One uses common principles and uses them to explain the variety of phenomena
René Descartes
Published "A Discourse on Method, Meditations on First Philosophy" 
God created the world, everything depends on Him
God was like human mind; both think, no physical being
God does not depend on a creator for His existence

6. Isaac Newton
Mathematic models of the universe were physical descriptions of the universe
The universe operates in a predictable way following the mathematics
Religion did not explain the physical phenomena of the universe
Planets and other objects move according to physical attraction
Based view of universe on concept of inertia- every object remains at rest until moved by another object
Did not deny God- something has to cause the movement of the object
Deism- all phenomena are fundamentally rational and mechanistic and can be explained in non-religious terms

7. Scientists Nicolas Copernicus Galileo Galilei Francis Bacon
Rene Descartes
Isaac Newton

8. Other Important People
Johannes Kepler
created mathematical model that perfectly predicted the motions of the planets
Believed that planets orbited around the sun and remained in their orbital paths
Antoine Lavoisier
proved that burning is caused by oxidation
Robert Boyle
made distinctions between elements and chemical compounds
many developments in chemistry
Andreas Vesalius
made first detailed study of the human anatomy

9. Important Inventions of the Scientific Revolution
Barometer
Measures air pressure
Invented by Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli
Invented in the year 1643
Thermometer
Measures temperature
Invented by Galileo Galilei
Invented in 1600
Microscope
Used to magnify small specimen to a higher level
Invented by Hans and Zacharias Janssen
Invented in 1610
Telescope
Used top observe distant objects by using glass lenses
Invented by Hans Lippershey
Invented in 1608

10. Impacts Conclusion Changed people’s view on the universe
Affected other areas of knowledge
Attempted to make people understand the natural world
Astronomy and mechanics were greatly changed
Also, similar developments in biology, chemistry and other sciences
Great change in scientific thoughts
Conclusion
Some of their discoveries were not very popular
continued to find the answers to questions for science
Scientific thought changed during a period of only a century
Crushed superstitions
