Soleil Margolin Closs/Yager World History 1 9 January 2023 Scientific Revolution Figures The Scientific Revolution was an era in history with remarkable advancements in technology, studies of science, and discoveries such as physics, calculus and laws of gravity. Influential figures during this Scientific Revolution include Issaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and Nicolaus Copernicus. Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and Nicolaus Copernicus are all significant scientists who aided in advancing the scientific revolution via their discoveries and experiments. Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and Nicolaus Copernicus all kept an appealing interest in science in numerous ways throughout their lives. All the discoveries these three scientists have made …show more content…
Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642, at Woolsthorpe Manor (Jeremy, pg1). He attended grammar school and became interested in science. In 1687, he published his greatest work, the Principia or more commonly known as the laws of motion and gravity. These laws are still taught to students in classrooms around the world today. Without his laws, modern scientific research and understanding of the world would not exist. Isaac Newton also created inventions, such as the first real telescope. This invention has been improved with modern technology and has given people the ability to see beyond the solar system. That would not have been possible without Newton's inventions in science. We would not have discovered things about space or the everyday world without his modern …show more content…
Kepler was born prematurely on “December 27, 1571, in Weil der Stadt, Swabia '' (Jeremy,pg 1). His interest in science began when his mother took him to see a comet as a child. As a scientist Kepler used a progressive way of thinking along with physics to show the universe moves in a certain way. Kepler believed in the sun being in a fixed position in space like Copernicus. Though Kepler's work focused more on the placement of planets and objects in space. Mostly though his work was a refined version of Copernicus ideas. These ideas were the start of the scientific understanding of the universe. Helping scientists better understand where we are in space and how we got there. Kepler also began to understand the solar system. With theories that the planets revolve around the sun, contrary to what the church was guiding people to think at the time. This basic understanding of the planets' revolving around the sun changed everything, though. Now people have a clearer view of their world, thanks to this one figure that changed it all. Without him looking back at the work of others and modernizing the public might have not a good understanding of the solar
