Scientific+Revolution

-Church Prosecution: Religously-backed ideas, for example the geocentric universe were challenged by thinkers of the post-renaissance period (Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler), who used true evidence and the Baconian thought process to indisputably define our world. -The Renaissance: Re-emphasis on Greek and Roman philosophy and logic gave Scientific thinkers a longstanding basis for the thought process for hypotheses and theories. -Rise of National Monarchies: Absolute and limited monarchies allowed for the patronization of the sciences and scientists themselves- this provided needed funds and encouraged the formation of Scientific socities (Royal Society, established by Charles II). -New Innovation: A number of important tools for scrutiny came to the forefront of scientific thought: the telescope, thermometer, and microscope were all invented to observe the natural world around us in greater detail, and elucidated the scientific process. -Navigation/Charter Revolution: Discovery of new plants, animals, minerals, and commodities gave scientists an ample and practical reason for scientific inquiry (new inventions, more efficient economics). || Pogressivism- The view that the only way forward is "up", increase in technological quantity and quality. Baconian view- Many producers used the scientific method to implement new technologies. Heliocentrism- the view that the sun was the center of the solar system, shook the foundations of church doctrine. Naturalism- Subject of the natural world, scientists and philosophers believed the human condition could be revealed by looking at human surroundings. Empiricism- Man's senses could be amplified by technology and thus further encompassing of science through this. Protestantism-outgrowth; stems from rejection of many catholic ideas that were scientifically incorrect (spherical nature of the planets, four humours theory) Industrialism- Burgeoning economies were constantly looking for new technologies to supplement growth cycles. Mathematization- Scientists obsessed with measuring anything and everything around them in quantitative numbers. || Francis Bacon- Scientific Method Galileo- key work in orbit and shape of planets, supplemented Keplers work. Kepler- Third law of Planetary motion established exact orbit of planets. Newtion-Principia Mathematica, key macrophysics creator. Boyle- Work with gases, volume, and pressure. Copernicus- Heliocentric universe Vesalius- First to use human dissections for research, published //The Structure of the Human Body.// Harvey- Traced the circulatory system, wrote about blood flow. || The immediate impacts of the scientific revolution in Europe is seen in the zeitgeist of the time. With the innovations that the scientific revolution brought about, the zeitgeist also changed to one of a more scientific manor. The people that were in the centers of the places were the scientific ideas where brought about began to question the world around them. They began to try to use there senses and what they know to be real to judge situations and problem, instead of basing it off old religious texts and from what others have said before.
 * **Causes** || **Epistemologies** the help us understand key perspectives or thinking that went into the Revolution || **Critical Events &key people** || **Impacts** (immediate /long term on Europe ||
 * -Protestan Reformation: Because of the divergence of ideas brought about by the split in the view of church doctrine. This new departure from a traditionalist religious view of history also encouraged competition over new scientific ideas.

In long terms, the changes that occurred in the scientific revolutions, such as a more scientific way of thinking, laid the frame work for revolutions to come. The Intellectual Revolution was influenced by the ideologies, and the new ways of thinking that were brought about by the scientific revolution. ||
