🔬 The term 'Scientific Revolution' is a useful tool for organizing events in history, but it was not used in its contemporary sense until the mid-1800s.
📚 According to Thomas Kuhn, scientific revolutions occur when scientists encounter anomalies that cannot be explained by their current paradigm.
🌍 The start of the Scientific Revolution is often associated with Nicolaus Copernicus and his breakthrough in challenging the geocentric model of the universe.
🌞 Nicole Oresme argued for heliocentrism, suggesting that the earth might revolve around the sun, 166 years before Copernicus.
📚 Oresme's book 'The Book of Heaven and the World' presented rational arguments for a rotating earth but concluded that the bible states the earth must remain still.
🔬 Oresme made significant contributions to math and physics, including the use of mathematical graphs and the physics of falling objects.
🌍 Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, where the Earth revolves around the sun.
📚 Copernicus studied arts, math, and astronomy at various universities and also worked as a private physician and economist.
🌟 Despite facing ridicule and opposition, Copernicus published his radical theory of heliocentrism in 1514.
🌎 Copernicus proposed a sun-centered cosmos, challenging the prevailing geocentric model.
⭐️ His book, 'De rev', presented the hypothesis that the sun-centered model was a better fit for the cosmos.
📚 Copernicus's work built upon the ideas of the ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus.
🌍 Copernicus's heliocentric model expanded the size of the universe and eliminated retrograde motion.
🪐 Copernicus's theory still included some elements of the Christian-Aristotelian cosmos, such as crystalline spheres and a center point near the sun.
📚 The Scientific Revolution was not a sharp break from Christian knowledge, and Copernicus was a diplomat and religious person.
📚 The Scientific Revolution started with Copernicus's book, which challenged conventional cosmology.
🔭 The majority of people were unaware of the Scientific Revolution and its impact on their daily lives.
🌍 The concept of the Scientific Revolution emerged in the 19th century with new methods of knowledge and experimentation.
🔍 The Scientific Revolution consisted of multiple scientific advancements in different places and times.
🌌 Nicknamed astronomers played a significant role in catching up medieval Europe's astronomical knowledge.
📚 Historians play a crucial role in framing and telling the stories of scientific revolutions.
