  5. SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION • The scientific revolution was the dawning of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, medicine, and chemistry transformed views of society and nature • End of Renaissance to 18 century • the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) and Andreas Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human body) – BEGINNING!

  6. NICHOLAS COPERNICUS 1473 – 1543 PRUSSIA, KINGDOM OF POLAND Renaissancemathematician and astronomer; POLYMATH heliocentricmodel which placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center of the universe major event in the history of science began the Copernican Revolution and contributed importantly to the rise of the ensuing Scientific Revolution SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION

  7. 1564-1642 PISA, FLORENCE, ITALY Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution improvements to the telescope "father of modern observational astronomy“ "father of modern physics“ "father of science“ "the Father of Modern Science“ the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter (named the Galilean moons in his honour observation and analysis of sunspots improved military compass and other instruments heliocentrism was controversial within his lifetime, when most subscribed to either geocentrism GALILEO GALILEI

  8. 1571-1630 German mathematician, astronomer key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution laws of planetary motion provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation JOHANNES KEPLER

  9. 1642-1726 English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist and theologian considered by many to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever lived ISAAC NEWTON

  10. Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687 • PRINCIPIA, laid the foundations for most of classical mechanics • universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries • motion of objects on Earth and that of celestial bodies is governed by the same set of natural laws: by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation he removed the last doubts about heliocentrism and advanced the scientific revolution

  11. ALEXANDER POPE, FAMOUS BRITISH POET SAID OF NEWTON: • Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night;God said "Let Newton be" and all was light. • NEWTON SAID OF HIMSELF: • If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
