Scientific Revolution
René Descartes 1596 - 1650
"Common sense is the best distributed commodity in the world, for every man
is convinced that he is well supplied with it."
"Cogito, ergo sum." (I think, therefore I am.)

Before 1500►Where did ppl get their info about the
world? Ancient Greek or Roman philosophers/authors
The Bible
►What helped disseminate that info? The printing press Church Schools/Universities Ren/Ref/Exploration

Medieval Views
• The Geocentric Theory (Earth-centered)• Aristotle’s theory• planets revolved around immovable earth• God placed Earth in center of universe
• Few people questioned these ideas Why?

PtolemyUntil mid-1500s
Ptolemy’s theoryEvidence to support Aristotle’s
ideasEarth was the center of universe
This theory matched the teachings of the Church.

Causes of the Sci Rev
►A few scholars published works That challenged the church & old ideas These ideas launched a change in thought
►What helped “cause” this change?

► Navigational problems of long sea voyages
► Better scientific instruments

Changing Views of the Universe
►Period of time when people began to define sci. method & apply it to search for truth
►Caused: Scientific Awakening
![Page 11: Scientific Revolution René Descartes 1596 - 1650 "Common sense is the best distributed commodity in the world, for every man is convinced that he is well](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649ce15503460f949ac68a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Scientific Awakening
►Merged sci & techn Use of mathematics Experimentation
►Sci. separated from church philosophy Basic ancient truths were questioned Focus on physics, not ethics

New Views• The Heliocentric Theory (Sun-
centered)• Copernicus’ theory
• Planets revolved around the sun• 1st new scientific theory in nearly 2,000
years• Others built on this idea
• This angered church leaders. • Why?

Copernicus (1543)
Nicolaus Copernicus
Heliocentricsun-centered, model of
the universe.
Aim to glorify God

Tycho Brahe (Late 1500s)
Tycho Brahe used observation Provided mountains of
evidence to support Copernicus’ theory. Could not mathematically
support it
Bridge b/w geo & helio

Tycho Brahe’s Model
Sun at center of circles

Johannes Kepler (Early 1600s)
Johannes KeplerUsed Mathematics to
support Brahe’s observations
each planet moved around the sun in an elliptical orbit

Galileo Galilei (Early 1600s)
Galileo Galilei Early user of the experimental
methodbuilt a telescope and studied the heavens
His discoveries using the telescope Moon had rough, uneven surface Sun has dark spots
![Page 18: Scientific Revolution René Descartes 1596 - 1650 "Common sense is the best distributed commodity in the world, for every man is convinced that he is well](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649ce15503460f949ac68a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Galileo Galilei vs The Church
Confirmed the heliocentric model caused an uproar
Galileo’s findings scared the church. Why? Pope summoned him to Rome for trial
Under threat of torture Read a confession Admitted ideas of Copernicus were
false.
Sentenced to house arrest & silence
1992 –Catholic Church accepted his beliefs

Questions
►Explain Copernicus’ theory.►How do Brahe and Kepler support
Copernicus’ ideas?►How did Galileo extend the findings of
the earlier scientists?►Why doesn’t the church support
Galileo’s ideas?

Isaac Newton (Late 1600s)
► Argues for a universe governed by natural laws Law of Inertia
► Something in motion tends to stay in motion
Law of Gravity► Things tend to fall downward

Scientific Advances
Janssen invented the microscope
Leeuwenhoek used microscope to see cells & microorganisms.
Fahrenheit/Celsius used thermometers to measure temperature
Torricelli used the barometer to measure atmospheric pressure to predict the weather
Vesalius published the first accurate study of human anatomy.
Descartes is the father of analytical geometry . Believed everything had to be proved by math. “I think, therefore I am.”
