The scientific Revolution spreads
The mid-1500s,scientists began to question accepted beliefs
Before 1500,scholars generally decided what was true or false by referring to an ancient greek or Roman author to the bible
Such questioning led to the development of the scientific method still in use today
Beginning in the mid-1500’s, few scholars published works that challenge the ideas of the ancient thinkers and the church.
An early challenge to accepted scientific thinking came in the field of astronomy
An Italian scientist Galileo Galilei built on the new theories about astronomy
Galilei’s finding findings frightened both catholic and protestant leaders because they went against church teaching and authority
The revolution in scientific thinking that Copernicus, Kepler, and
Galileo began eventually developed into a new approach to science called
the scientific method.
The scientific method did not develop overnight.
The work of two important thinkers of the 1600s
By the mid-1600s, the accomplishments of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo
had shattered the old views of astronomy and physics.
As astronomers explored the secrets of the universe, other scientists
began to study the secrets of nature on earth.
