"The Scientific Revolution was a series of events that marked the emergence of modern science during the early modern period..."
The study of the emergence of modern science in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Copernican Revolution: The discovery that the Earth and other planets revolve around the sun, rather than the other way around.
Galileo's Discoveries: Galileo's development and use of telescopes, and the discoveries he made using them, including the phases of Venus, the moons of Jupiter, and sunspots.
Newton's Laws of Motion: The three laws of motion that describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it.
Kepler's Laws: The three laws of planetary motion that describe the orbit of planets around the sun.
Experimental Method: The process of testing and refining scientific hypotheses through experimentation.
Scientific Societies: Organizations formed for the purpose of promoting scientific inquiry and sharing knowledge among scientists.
Scientific Method: A systematic approach to scientific inquiry that involves forming hypotheses, testing them through observation and experimentation, and making conclusions based on the results.
Scientific Instruments: Tools and devices used by scientists to aid in their research, including telescopes, microscopes, and thermometers.
Philosophy of Science: The study of the underlying principles and assumptions of scientific inquiry.
Chemistry: The study of the properties and behavior of matter and its interactions with other substances.
Biology: The study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, and behavior.
Physics: The study of matter and energy and their interactions with each other in the physical world.
Astronomy: The study of celestial objects, including stars, planets, and galaxies.
Medicine: The study of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease and other medical conditions.
Geology: The study of the Earth and its physical structure, including rocks, minerals, and natural disasters.
"...developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry transformed the views of society about nature."
"The Scientific Revolution took place in Europe in the second half of the Renaissance period..."
"...the 1543 Nicolaus Copernicus publication De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) often cited as its beginning."
"The era of the Scientific Renaissance focused, to some degree, on recovering the knowledge of the ancients..."
"[The era of the Scientific Renaissance]...is considered to have culminated in Isaac Newton's 1687 publication Principia..."
"...formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, thereby completing the synthesis of a new cosmology."
"The subsequent Age of Enlightenment saw the concept of a scientific revolution emerge in the 18th-century work of Jean Sylvain Bailly..."
"Jean Sylvain Bailly...described a two-stage process of sweeping away the old and establishing the new."
"There continues to be scholarly engagement regarding the boundaries of the Scientific Revolution and its chronology."
