The Scientific Revolution
The world as we know is ever changing and constantly innovating and discovering new
inventions and new ideas and also discovering truth about the cosmos. The Scientific Revolution
is one of the parts of human history that has shaped the future we see today. It is the living
foundation of numerous studies today such as Physics, Science, Mathematics and many more. In
a sense that The Scientific Revolution is the time of where mans period of scientific thought
exponentially changed. Taking part in the 16th and 17th century it serves as a Golden era for
deliberation of quantitative thought and abstract reasoning also understanding how nature works
and finally the development of the fundamental method we use today the Scientific Method.
Beginning in the Europe, the scientific revolution sparked an ideal that made man
understand deeply what the surroundings or nature had to offer and at this time The Enlightenment
created a reason for an intellectual movement of creating ideas nature and humanity as a whole.
Famous people namely, Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo for astronomy, The philosophy of Rene
Descartes and Physics and Cosmological thought of Isaac Newton these people had something in
common a setting the scene for insights on science.
The impact of that revolution or period of time was that today modern science use it as a
foundation for research, astronomy and mathematics. For example, the discovery of Isaac Newtons
laws of physics dubbed Principia Mathematica is connected to our modern engineering and is
relative to understanding the cosmos. Not only that Isaac Newton also discovered gravity which
at the time was baffling 16th century scientist, that discovery attained high remarks in the
community before and it shows that door of Modern Science was opening for a lot of information.
The fact that Isaac Newton bring to light significant information has set the stage for Modern
Science to usher in the future.
There are still many discoveries in the Scientific Revolution though before the freedom of
information and knowledge was limited and deemed unfit for the Church. The Church recognized
only an Aristotelian form of teaching for all disregarding the will of inquiry and doubt.
Reformation started to form and eventually separating from the Church thus being free from the
restrictions of intellectual progress. With that it the Scientific Revolution blossomed and the
Aristotelian system fell. One of the largest scientific breakthroughs was in Astronomy because of
the understanding of Physics and Math by virtue of Isaac Newton it opened the door to universe.
Understanding that the Sun was the center of our system not the earth was discovered by Nicolaus
Copernicus and it was proven so in the future.
To sum up everything that has come about, The scientific revolution is a significant part in
history and it is one of the most greatest times where science and reasoning thrived and impacted
the future as a whole. The Enlightenment along with dawn of scientific glory made everything that
we see today explain whole because of the thoughts before.
