  • creation of the heliocentric theory
    1543

    creation of the heliocentric theory

    The heliocentric model proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. This challenged the long-held geocentric view.
    CONSEQUENCES
    This discovery laid the foundation for modern astronomy and changed how people viewed their place in the universe, leading to further scientific inquiry.

  • the creation of the laws of motion

    the creation of the laws of motion

    Isaac Newton created the three laws of motion that explain how forces affect how things move. These laws changed how we understand motion and became the basis for classical physics.
    consequences
    Newton's work laid the foundation for classical mechanics and transformed science and engineering.
