The Scientrific Era and Its Great Theories

The Scientific Era brought out the greatest theories, ideas, and experiments that have transformed science itself. Budding new scientists with fresh minds, and a heart for science, wanting to give it a new beginning. A new beginning that would change the processes, the thought, and the experimentation.

The first scientist that lit this spark, was Francis Bacon. He devised a logical procedure for gathering information and testing theories. Francis created the scientific method. This new order of steps was the building blocks that made new scientific discoveries possible.

There were multiple scientists that followed Francis Bacon that achieved accomplishments in math, science, anatomy, and astronomy. Francois Viete put his thoughts towards math and was the first to use letters to represent unknown quantities. He invented trigonometry, a new form of math. However, the theories were what made the largest impact.

Copernicus was the first man in this time frame to study astronomy and enforce a new idea. The heliocentric theory. In the beginning, people believed in the geocentric theory. To the naked eye, the Earth didn’t appear as if it was moving. It looked as if the sun, stars, and planets revolved around the earth, making it the center of the universe. The geocentric theory was supported by the church and the people. When Copernicus introduced heliocentrism, it was unsettling. The church did not approve. If this theory was proven correct, their games and manipulation would come to an end.

Johannes Kepler proved Copernicus correct. He found that the planets and the Earth revolve around the sun and he proved it mathematically. Kepler proved that the planets orbit around the sun was elliptical. In 1615, he completed the first of th...

...of modern medicine. One of the largest impacts however was on the church.

The church was the largest negative effect of the revolution. New ideas toyed with people’s spiritual beliefs and shattered faith and trust in both God and the church. The world was reset to an idea of logical thinking, not faith or inspiration. It was the loss of a personal, caring God. Growing up with the church and its teaching, than discovering it was all wrong, lead people down different paths. New religions and ideas of God were spread across the world as the Roman Catholic Church slowly began to die out.

Based on the new theories, experiments, and the processes, the Scientific Revolution brought on a positive transformation that changed technology, science, medicine, and astronomy. Thanks to this Era, the world was given a fresh start, a new beginning that made daily life worth living.
