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.

The majority of the science during this time just reinforced the ideas of the Church and the Church’s power. However, the “radical” scientists such as Galileo let their scientific ideas be heard and the topic of science started to interest more and more people. The result of this was that the government became involved in these scientific topics, was able to take hold of authority, and started to create scientific societies which would develop and progress throughout the 1700’s and

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.”

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).

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

Brett Lindsay Mr. Moore Newton's Laws Newton's three laws help describe the basic rules of physics. These laws that Isaac Newton had created, help mankind understand the complex branch of science known as physics, in a more simple way. These laws are present only because of natural forces such as inertia, friction, gravity, etc. Without natural forces, the world would appear much different and these laws would be incomprehensible. Newton's first law states that an object in motion must stay in motion (or object in rest must stay in rest) unless acted upon by an external force.

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 the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the emergence of a scientific worldview and reflections on suffering challenged Christianity, causing the Church to refine ideas and respond. Belief only in scientific discoveries led to rationalism, the belief that there is no route to truth except through reason. Through careful deliberation and scholasticism, the Church examined the Christian tradition and drew new conclusions. Additionally, the Church addressed ideas on senseless suffering and atheism. Beginning in the sixteenth century, many scientists made discoveries that went against Church teaching and promoted new ideas of freedom, self-determination, and autonomy (379 Cory and Hollerich).

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.

“God, who has given the world to men in common, has also given them reason to make use of it to the best advantage of life and convenience” (Locke, 35). The Scientific Revolution concentrated on understanding the physical world through astronomical and mathematical calculations, or testable knowledge. The Enlightenment focused more on “Spreading of faith in reason and in universal rights and laws” (Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, 535). While the Scientific Revolution preceded the Enlightenment, both time periods sought to limit and challenge the power of the Church, through the spread of science, reason and intellect, and political philosophies. The Scientific Revolution began with Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1542) and Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) wanting to understand the movement of the planets beyond what they authorities had told them.

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
