The Scientific Revolution: The Advancements Of The Scientific Revolution
analytical Essay
952 words
Science gave more to life than just understanding how the world works. The discoveries of the scientific revolution proposed great questions as to the truth of what was being taught religiously and academically. The advancements made during the revolution did great good in regards to initiating a more logical approach to explaining daily excursion and events in human life and in nature. Science also created a shift in the general order of what can and cannot be accepted. What was once understood in religion and social system as just a phenomenon that occurred without a connection or correlation to something else had changed. The people of the 17th century soon learned that there was generally a cause and effect in everything, and that certain …show more content…
Since Galileo was an astronomer, he too most likely saw the movement of the star’s placement in the sky as did Copernicus. However due to his support, Galileo was subject to great scrutiny. The introduction states “Galileo was forced to abjure his scientific findings and was sentenced to perpetual house arrest. His books were burned.” (p.191). This action taken by the church shows how the further discoveries made by Galileo incited fear because it went against some of their teachings. Fortunately, his trial became the platform in which his work was saved and circulated throughout Europe, which sure helped him gain supporters, inducing more revolutionary changes in thinking. However, the reason Galileo finding generated more acceptance was not only due to the punishment by the church. In actuality, I think he gained more support because he created an instrument to help him better see and understand the spheres of the world. Although the idea of this instrument was not fully one of his own, he did manage to make one in which he says he “perceived objects satisfactorily large and near, for they appeared three times closer and nine rimes larger than seen with the naked eye” (p.192). Yet, his work did not end there. “It would be superfluous to enumerate the number and the importance of the advantages of such an instrument… I observed often with wondering delight both the planets and the fixed stars …I began to seek (and eventually found) a method by which I might measure their distances apart” (p.192). Actions such as these are why I believe people began to change and believe in a heliocentric system because they were supplied with plausible

- Scientific Revolution: Age Of Reasonexplanatory essayThe first record of the movement of the planets was produced by Nicolaus Copernicus. He proposed that the earth was the center of everything, which the term is called geocentric. Kepler challenged the theory that the sun was the center of the earth and proposed that the sun was the center of everything; this term is referred to as heliocentric. Kepler’s heliocentric theory was accepted by most people and is accepted in today’s society. One of Kepler’s friends was a famous person named Galileo. Galileo is known for improving the design and the magnification of the telescope. With improvement of the telescope Galileo could describe the craters of the moon and the moons of Jupiter. Galileo also created the number for acceleration of all free falling objects as 9.8 meters per second. Galileo’s and Kepler’s theories were not approved by all people. Their theories contradicted verses in the bible, so the protestant church was extremely skeptical of both Galileo and Kepler’s

Later Galileo published the book Two Chief Systems of the World where he gave detailed evidence in conjunction with the hedonistic theory. Though the Hellenistic theory was finally getting the recognition it needed to be considered true, the model of the solar system wasn 't conclusive until Isaac newton’s contributions. Isaac Newton is one of the most influential and renowned scientists to this day because of his creation of the laws of gravity, motion, and contributions to the development of calculus. His contributions were the final puzzle pieces philosophers needed to piece together the heliocentric theory with wholesome and accurate evidence for

As an adult, he didn’t believe the universal geocentric theory of the planets and heavens which was established by the Catholic Church. The church taught that the Earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around our planet. Another theory that the Church supported was that the Earth stood still while the sun rose and set every day. Society in the 1500’s believed that the Pope spoke for God through a divine connection and to against the church was to go against God. To speak out against the church in this time was strictly taboo. If one was to speak against the church was considered to be heresy, which is exactly what happened to Galileo. Galileo invented the telescope and began studying the heavens above and noticed that changes within the stars and planets. He noticed that the “stars” that surrounded Jupiter moved. He came to the conclusion through rational thinking, that the Copernicus’ heliocentric theory was correct. Copernicus was a scientist and philosopher whose theory proposed that the sun was stationary and the heavens orbit around the sun. Galileo tried to convince the church not to aboli...

1738 wordsRead More - The Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were times of great emphasis on reason and questioning of faith. The scientists and philosophes of these eras discovered and taught new ideas that often contradicted what the church and former thinkers had taught and believed before them. Most of the intellectual, political, economic, and social characteristics associated with the modern world came into being during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.1 During the Scientific Revolution, people began to question beliefs that they had always taken for granted. Scientists changed people's views of the world they lived in through discoveries such as the theory of the heliocentric universe. During the Enlightenment, philosophes challenged beliefs formerly held by the church and government by insisting that human reason would lead to the solution of all problems. They believed that man should live his life, make his own decisions, and believe what he wanted based on his own experiences and what he believed to be true. These two revolutions lead to a movement away from the church and faith, and towards a belief in more scientific and mathematical explanations for the way things worked.

The Scientific Revolution was, in essence, both a social and intellectual revolution. During the Scientific Revolution, scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Francis Bacon, Rene Descartes, and Christiaan Huygens wrestled with questions concerning God, human intellectualism, and their scientific views of the universe, its purpose, and how it functions. Ultimately, the implications of these new scientific discoveries began to change the way people thought and behaved. People began to question the widely accepted and Roman Catholic Church endorsed Aristotelian views of the universe. This led to the questioning of the traditional views of the state and societal structure. The geocentric Ptolemaic model was no longer blindly accepted. The earth was now no longer easily explainable or thought to be the center of the universe. Beliefs that were hundreds of years old were now proven to be false.

A revolution brings instant changes that could’ve taken hundreds of years, but began the change automatically. In most political revolutions, violence is usually involved. Examples of this would be the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution. Non political movements that produce revolutionary changes are also termed as revolutions because of such a change they’ve made in history. The Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the Industrial Revolution are evident towards revolution because of how big of an altar they caused the world.

While some regard it as advances as “truly revolutionary”, others believe that seventeenth century science was built upon other accomplishments from earlier times or ancient periods and therefore its advances were gradual and therefore not revolutionary. There are those who claim that we should distinguish between the various sciences and that there may have been a revolution in some sciences, but not in others. Herein, I will attempt to explain a brief synopsis of the history of science, in relation to the scientific revolution of the 17th century, and its relation to fundamental changes in society and culture.
