European Renaissance, Age of Exploration, and Scientific Revolution Quiz

Galileo = Discovery of Jupiter's moons and support for heliocentrism Copernicus = Development of the heliocentric model Kepler = Laws of planetary motion Newton = Theory of universal gravitation

Heliocentrism = The theory that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun Scientific Revolution = The emergence of modern science during the early modern period Reformation = The 16th-century religious, political, intellectual, and cultural upheaval that splintered Catholic Europe Medieval view towards science = The belief that scientific knowledge should be based on ancient authorities rather than empirical evidence

Telescope = Enabled observation of celestial bodies and supported heliocentrism Dark spots on the sun = Challenged the belief in a perfect celestial sphere and supported the idea of imperfection in nature Laws of planetary motion = Provided mathematical proof for the heliocentric model Database queries = Revolutionized data storage and retrieval in scientific research

<p>Galileo = Sentenced to villa arrest for supporting heliocentrism Hypatia = Brutally murdered for her scientific and philosophical views Bruno = Executed for his support of heliocentrism and other heretical views Newton = Received no punishments despite challenging traditional beliefs with his laws of motion and universal gravitation</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Geocentrism = Challenged by the discovery of Jupiter's moons and laws of planetary motion Church authority = Challenged by scientists using empirical evidence and the scientific method Perfection in nature = Challenged by observations of imperfections such as dark spots on the sun and craters on the moon Aristotelian natural philosophy = Challenged by new discoveries and empirical evidence contradicting traditional ideas</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Nicolaus Copernicus = Polish Cleric that studied the movement of the planets for 25 years and wrote “On the Revolution of the Heavenly Bodies” Tycho Brahe = Danish astronomer who compiled years of data and made it possible to make mathematical sense of Copernicus Johannes Kepler = Assistant to Brahe who took what Brahe recorded and made sense of the data, discovering the laws of planetary motion Galileo Galilei = Italian astronomer who observed the universe through a telescope, confirmed Copernicus' theory, and was declared a heretic</p> Signup and view all the answers
