Galileo Scientific Revolution

Anyone who understands and agrees with modern science will say that our progress in intellect and science during the Middle Ages was heading for a complete disaster! Natural philosophy was wrongfully revolving around Aristotle and his absurd ideas and interpretation on science. That being the case, science was eventually saved and reestablished by the pioneers and philosophers during the Elizabethan age. We call this the Scientific Revolution, and this period in time was a great struggle to inaugurate what science is and is not. In addition, it was also a period of numerous discoveries in medicine, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and much more. There were a plethora of scientists who’ve contributed to the Scientific Revolution. However, the

He published a book called Letters on the Sunspots, which explained the problems of the heavens; his argument was that the heavens contained impurities because the sun had dark patches on its surface called sun spots (Famous Scientists 6).

The Church responded by banning all books published by Copernicus, along with neglecting Galileo. However, Galileo continued on with his publications and was eventually sentenced to life in house arrest. As a result, Galileo had spent eight years of his life in his house. After which, he died, but not before he published his final book of two new sciences. It was called, Discourses and Mathematical Demonstrations Concerning the Two New Sciences (Famous Scientists 7) and he called the two new sciences the science of material and the science of motion. This book explains Galileo’s scientific findings from his years of experimenting and theorizing. The Catholic Church was not able to stop Galileo’s books from being available in the countries of England, Holland, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, and Scandinavia. It has been argued that this was the book that caused Isaac Newton to create his laws of motion (Famous Scientists 7). After Galileo’s death, the Catholic Church began to accept Galileo’s work and allowed his books to be published. It wasn’t until 1835 that everything written by Galileo was approved by the
