The scientific revolution was a change of ideas revolving around the statement that “The sun revolves around the earth” and the scientist and priest Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) countered this by saying that “The earth revolves around the sun” with his theory of the Ptolemaic system which was studied on the basis of which they made mathematical calculations in regard to astronomy, thus putting the idea of a earth centered solar system against a new theory (Pg. 204-205). The big names in science that agreed with this statement at the time were Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) and his assistent Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), Brahe wasn’t completely for Copernicuses view of the earth revolving around the sun, but he did believe the other planets to revolve around the sun, and after his death in 1601 his assistant Johannes Kepler took over his mentors research, but was for Copernicuses view of a sun centered universe and published a view books related to the subject of planets and to if the sun revolves around the earth or vice versa (Pg.205) , Galileo Galilei (1464-1642) the astronomer as he used the newly invented telescope to see the rotation of the sun and see how that translates to the rotation of the earth, and whether the two of those items correlate with each other (Pg. …show more content…
206-207), the last scientist who sided with Copernicus was Sir Isaac Newton, and his agreement with Copernicus started with his Law of gravity and combined his law with Galileo’s theories discovered with the telescopes on how the sun rotates and created a fundamentalist view of how the sun moves and how the earth moves in related to the gravitational pull from the two
