Study Notes
Scientific Revolution
- Occurred from the 16th to the 18th century, marking the emergence of modern science
- Characterized by great advances in sciences during this period
Key Figures
- Isaac Newton: English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and author who formulated laws of motion and universal gravitation
- Copernicus: Renaissance-era polymath who formulated a heliocentric model of the universe, placing the Sun at its center
- Galileo: Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer who made pioneering observations, laying the foundation for modern physics and astronomy
- Francis Bacon: English philosopher and statesman who developed the scientific method
- Johannes Kepler: German astronomer who discovered the laws of planetary motion
- Rene Descartes: French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist, dubbed the father of modern philosophy and analytical geometry
- Ptolemy: Ancient Greek geographer, mathematician, and astronomer whose geocentric model of the universe was widely accepted until the Scientific Revolution
Important Concepts
- Heliocentric model: Places the Sun at the center of the solar system with planets orbiting around it
- Geocentric model: Places Earth at the center of the universe with the Sun, Moon, and stars revolving around it
- Secular: Denotes attitudes, activities, or things with no religious or spiritual basis
- Excommunication: Officially excluding someone from participation in Christian Church sacraments and services
Significant Inventions
- Printing Press: Invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, a machine for printing text or pictures from type or plates
Scientific Method
- A systematic procedure for collecting and analyzing evidence
- Involves observation, experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses
