In the years of 1500-1700s, there were many new ideas in Europe after the Renaissance. With these ideas scientists started to discover, there were new medicine and new systems to find out ideas quicker. Although many people liked this new era of technology, this deeply troubled the church. The Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment made the church furious because they believe everything was created by God. However, scientists like Newton, Kepler, Copernicus, and many more were able observe and conclude ideas, the microscope and other instruments improved observations, and others like Thomas Hobbes created a social contract so many people can speak freely, Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment considered to be a success in Europe and …show more content…
Most of the facts we got were from the Church. Church teachings included the Geocentric Theory. These ideas came from Aristotle. It states that everything was around the Earth. That statement was proved to be false later. Other scientists like Nicolas Copernicus believed in the Heliocentric Theory. At first, it didn’t explain how the planets orbits the way they did and was very hesitant to share it with others. In 1601, another scientist named Johannes Kepler proved that Copernicus idea was correct. They show that the planets rotate around the sun. Another method Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo developed was called the Scientific Method. This was made to gather and testing ideas. Another famous scientist named Isaac Newton, discovered the three laws of motion. The 1st law deals with “an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion, with the same direction and speed.” (studios). “The 2nd law of motion deal with the second law says that the acceleration of an object produced by a net (total) applied force is directly related to the magnitude of the force.” The formula for the 2nd law of motion is F=ma. (studios). The 3rd law of motion says, “that for every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction (force).”
Scientists made new discoveries while doing experiments and using the scientific method during the Scientific Revolution. Some of there discoveries contradicted what the Roman Catholic Church beliefs. For example, the church believes that God created heavens and the earth, but scientists it’s a bit more complicated then that. Scientists had proof that some things in the bible weren’t true or possible, which caused the church’s people to questions its truth. Scientists are attempting to prove the truth about science, which so happen to threaten the Church.
Newton’s Laws have been used for a very long time and is very accurate (well obviously because he’s Newton.) Newton explains in his laws that in the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply equal opposite forces, they are exerting different forces causing it to be balanced. Like I said above, Newton’s first law says that when an object is in motion, it will stay in motion unless a force acts on it.
The First Law of Motion stated that a body in motion would stay in the same in motion unless a force acted upon it. In the textbook “Holt Physics” Serway and Faughn stated, “Note that an object on which no force is acting is not necessarily at rest; the object could also be moving a constant velocity.” Newton’s first law of motion can see being portrayed in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens, there is a scene where a force sensitive user throws a person against the wall. The Second Law of Motions the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In the textbook “Holt Physics” states “According to Newton’s second law, if equal forces are applied to two objects of different masses, the object with greater mass will experience similar acceleration and the object with less mass will experience a greater acceleration.”
During the Middle Ages a Roman Astronomer named Ptolemy came up with the theory that all surrounding planets orbited around the Earth. Advancement in telescopes and technology helped Copernicus during the renaissance create a more logical and accurate theory which stated how the sun is in the middle of our universe and all planets orbited the sun. This changed the way man thought because it realized how small Earth is compared to the rest of the solar system and how we may not be
The Scientific Revolution was in action which started the division between secular and religious beliefs. “In 1613, Kepler was excommunicated because he believed the moon was a solid body. The Lutheran theologians said this contradicted Scripture, where the moon is described as a “lesser light to rule the night.” Since the moon is a “light,” the theologians said, it could not be a solid body.” (Excommunicated For Scientific Beliefs).
It’s a description of bodies in motion “in three basic law: first, a stationary body will stay stationary unless an external force is applied to it; second, force is equal to mass times acceleration, and a change in motion is proportional to the force applied; three, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” These three laws helped explain not only elliptical planetary orbit, nearly every other motion in the universe. Its show or described how the moon revolves around Earth and the moons of Jupiter revolve around it. The laws also applied for Newton to calculate the mass of each planet, and how the gravitational pull of the sun and moon create the Earth’s tides. Upon the publication of the first edition of Principle, Hooke accused Newton for stealing his work.
The moon revolves around the Earth, and objects fall because of gravity. At one point, during the 17th and 18th century, this new concept, and much more like it, was the talk of the town. This time period was called the scientific revolution, where philosophers and scientists questioned the views on the world resulting in unfamiliar discoveries and the creation of new ideas. Science has influenced culture, religion, and government during this time as it made its crucial impact for their different way of thinking. Science was an important factor when it comes to progress within their society as there were many new findings.
Claudius Ptolemy, a Greek Geographer and Astronomer, came up with this theory. Everyone later on came to believe the geocentric theory. Controversy augmented when Nicolaus evolved the heliocentric theory, which was later included in Book I of De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium. A lot of people told Nicolaus that his findings were incorrect and irrelevant because they strongly believed in Claudius 's previous statement. Book I also sketches of the solar system that helps defend the heliocentric theory.
The first law states that a moving object will remain in motion and a resting object will remain at rest until changes by an unbalanced force. The second law of motion says that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to acceralte it. According to Newton’s third law of motion, there is always an equal and opposite re-action that occurs as an effect of every action. Isaac Newton’s laws of motion are important in the world of physcs because they are accurate, relate to almost everything that we experience in our daily lives, and tell us how things
In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus published On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres, stating his hypothesis that the solar system is heliocentric (380 Cory and Hollerich). Additionally, in 1610 Galileo observes moons orbiting around Jupiter and teaches Copernican theory (380 Cory and Hollerich). These discoveries were so important and controversial at the time because the Church strongly supported the geocentric hypothesis. Medical Christians relied on the geocentric system because of the “emoryean,”the highest heaven where God and the angels were (380 Cory and Hollerich). All rational evidence pointed to a
Newton formulated the Laws of Universal Gravity, which states that "two objects exert a force towards each other, causing them to attract." With the formulation of the law of universal gravity, thinkers of the Enlightenment
The Earth has been in existence for over four billion years, and the universe for much longer, but modern humans have only existed for approximately two-hundred thousand years. Since the beginning of human thought, people have looked to the sky and wondered what lay beyond what we can see. With the advancement of the human mind along with technology, the perception of the cosmos has drastically changed over time. One of the most important changes in our thinking was the Copernican Revolution, when Copernicus aimed to replace Ptolemy’s earth-centred model of the solar system with a sun-centred one. The advancement of science facilitated the changes in our perception, and it can be argued that our knowledge about the universe is getting closer
During the Scientific Revolution, people might have had a negative perspective of Scientists because of the new discoveries and observations. These observations would contradict the Church and the Bible. Religious followers might also be upset by these new discoveries because it makes them question their faith. People would also be questioning the scientist morals when they were doing dissection. This was not a rare opinion because, if someone does not understand the discoveries and only pay attention to the ones that contradict the teachings of the church, it would be easy to think that the scientists are trying to cause problems with the church.
Others recognized patterns in the ways the objects moved. Thus, astronomy was born. Around 600 B.C. it was accepted that the Earth was not a flat object through the insight of Greek philosophers from looking at the round shadow that the Earth cast on the Moon during lunar eclipses and how the stars seemed to move as one approaches the North Pole. (Larsen, 37). Eudoxus was philosopher known for the idea of a geocentric
At the time is was believed that Earth was the center of the
