    • Johannes Kepler: Formulated the Laws of Planetary Motion, providing insight into planetary orbits.
    • Galileo Galilei: Developed the telescope and made significant observations of celestial bodies, strengthening heliocentric beliefs.
    • Isaac Newton: Discovered the law of gravity, unifying physics and explaining motion.
    • Francis Bacon: Introduced the Scientific Method, shaping modern approaches to scientific inquiry.
    • Thomas Edison: Innovated in electricity and communication technologies, having a lasting impact on modern society.

    Challenges Faced by Key Figures

    • Copernicus delayed publishing his theories due to fear of persecution, only releasing work shortly before his death.
    • Galileo faced trial for his support of heliocentrism and spent life under house arrest due to his beliefs.

    Application of the Scientific Method

    • The scientific method can guide everyday decision-making by promoting critical thinking and evidence-based choices.

    Historical Reflection

    • Imagining a world without the Scientific Revolution highlights the importance of scientific advancements in shaping modern society and health responses, especially during pandemics.
