Alchemists and Astrologers
During 500 BC, the nearest thing individuals needed to science were common scholars. They put stock in religious thinking and Greek and Roman plans to clarify things about human instinct and science. This is vital in light of the fact that it was the begin of science and individuals endeavoring to discover things about mankind and the universe. -

Aristotle
Aristotle, who was an old Greek rationalist conceived around 384 BC, made clarifications to things like nature and people. Aristotle was what is known as a natural philosopher, people who use religious ideas to justify everyday nature. Most trusted in his work, he believed that the position of the stars in the sky affected human life. The first point of view that others could acknowledge from. -

Geocentric Theory
It appeared to be obvious to early space experts that whatever is left of the universe moved about a steady, stationary Earth. The Sun, Moon, planets, & stars could be seen moving about Earth along round ways for a long time. It seemed sensible to accept that Earth was stationary, to no end appeared to influence it to move. Besides, the way that items fall toward Earth gave what was seen as help for the geocentric theory. The first astronomical theory that gave society a visual of space. -

Claudius Ptolemy
A stargazer that had confidence in the possibility that the Earth was the focal point of the universe, was Ptolemy. This hypothesis, geocentric hypothesis, expresses that the greater part of alternate planets and the sun move around the Earth. This was critical in light of the fact that it was the first hypothesis of how the universe functioned. -

Scientific Method
The scientific strategy is the procedure by which researchers, all things considered & after some time, attempt to develop an exact portrayal of the world. Perceiving that individual & social convictions impact both our recognitions & our translations of regular wonders, we point using standard systems & criteria to limit those impacts when building up a theory. In outline, the technique endeavors to limit the impact of inclination or bias in the experimenter when testing a hypothesis. -

Roger Bacon
Roger Bacon was an English logician and researcher amid the 1200's. Roger Bacon was one of the primary researcher to direct far from the customary logical strategy for his chance. He led tries rather depending on religious thinking. He was a vital individual since he was the begin of the Scientific Method and affected numerous different researchers after him. After Bacon, the investigation of nature and mankind turned out to be more composed and proficient. -

Nicolaus Copernicus
Polish Nicolaus Copernicus, was an astronomer, scholar, scientist and mathematician whom in the early 1500 proved the belief that the earth was the center of the universe, true to be wrong. He did this by establishing the concept of a heliocentric solar system. He became a symbol of the brave scientist standing alone, defending his theories against the common beliefs of his time. Additionally, he showed the theories of his time that they were wrong, helping others like himself, after his time. -

Heliocentric Theory
The term heliocentric describes the correct theory, first posed by Nicolas Copernicus, that the Earth is simply one of several planets which orbit the sun. This theory challenged Ptolemy's, posing others to doubt one another. The theory was also able to affix the correct understanding about the astrology, which is what everybody believes in today. -
Period: 1500 to
Scientific Revolution

Andreas Vesalius
Andreas was an important figure of the scientific revolution, a pioneer for the study of anatomy. He published an illustration book of the human anatomy. Providing a detailed image for society to acknowledge. A publication that is considered the foundation of modern biology. He conducted many studies about the structural details of the human body, generating further curiosity throughout time, then & now. Consequently, leading to cures for diseases. -
1543
Scientific Revolution
The scientific revolution is an idea utilized by history specialists to depict the rise of present day science amid the early current time frame, when improvements in arithmetic, material science, space science, science & science changed the perspectives of society about nature. The logical unrest occurred in Europe towards the finish of the Renaissance time frame & proceeded through the late eighteenth century, impacting the scholarly social development. The development of thought over time. -
Jan 22, 1561
Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon, born on January 22, 1561, was an English philosopher and scientist. Bacon took up Aristotelian thoughts, and produce the scientific method, which is the foundation of modern scientific inquiry. As a man of his senses, he collected evidence and generated scientific theories only through observation. He had changed the notions of others, making them second guess their original assumptions, by proclaiming that nothing could be trusted, unless proven by reliable sources. -
Feb 15, 1564
Galileo Galilei
Italian scientist and scholar Galileo made pioneering observations that laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy. Understandings from his discoveries, and in the methods he developed and the use of mathematics to prove them. As a result he innovated the telescope and the microscope. He played a major role in the scientific revolution and earned the moniker "The Father of Modern Science." Galileo's opposition towards the bible and religious views encouraged a new bold standpoint. -
Dec 27, 1571
Johannes Kepler
Founded by Johannes Kepler, the idea of planetary motion. Kepler not only adamantly defended Copernicus, he also revealed that their paths were not perfect circles. His descriptions of planetary motions became known as Kepler’s laws. Kepler realized that the planets traveled in "stretched out" circles known as ellipses. These three laws of planetary motion were able to change the way people looked at their homes. They perspectives altered because of Kepler's science and Copernicus' theory. -
Apr 1, 1578
William Harvey
Harvey's theory on the Circulatory System, which disproved the previous one made by Greek physician Galen. Stated that the Circulatory System was on continuous flow of blood and not separate systems. His statement included that the heart was the key essential organ that was keeping our blood flow and our bodies alive. He had challenged the view of one, allowing others to learn from him and be encouraged by his opposition. -
René Descartes
Descartes (1596-1650) was one of the greatest minds of the Scientific Revolution. The innovator of deductive reasoning, Descartes was a failure as a practical scientist but a success as a mathematician. Uniting numbers and forms in his geometrical work, which described how the motion of a point could be mapped graphically by comparing its position to planes of reference. His belief of proving assumptions with known facts has changed the way others had thought, using facts to support their ideas. -
Robert Boyle
Robert is a critical persona of the scientific revolution because e was a pioneer of modern chemistry. Boyle is credited with the discovery of Oxygen, along with fellow scientist Robert Hooke. Boyle proved that only a part of the air is used in respiration and combustion. Boyle also liked to work on studying atomic matter. Boyle's discovery of oxygen lead to the Boyle law (PV=k). He was able to change the way others looked upon their surroundings. -
Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek
Antoni van Leeuwenhoek was one of the first to use a microscope to discover new types of bacteria. Consequently, he discovered bacteria, and he called them animalcules. He studied them and wrote about a whole range of these new tiny life forms that had never been seen before. This sparked interest in the use of scientific tools and instruments. -
Robert Hooke
Ranging from astronomy and biology, Robert Hooke experimented and researched with many instruments. Specifically, he is acknowledge for his utilization of the microscope. He recorded many observations, portraying many new images for the public to see, a closer and maximized version. -
Isaac Newton
Born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, England, Isaac Newton was an established physicist and mathematician, and is proclaimed as one of the great minds of the 17th century during the conclusion of the Scientific Revolution. With discoveries in optics, motion and mathematics, Newton developed the principles of modern physics. He changed the way others looked at their environment, building off of other major personas such as Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo. -
Gottfried Leibniz
As a new branch of calculations and mathematics, Liebnitz unfolded calculus. This change added to people's observations, theories, and experiments. As they use used science and math, calculus would also aide the philosophers develop new understandings. -
Joseph Priestly
The discoverer of a new element, Priestly contrived oxygen, with a name. This element was a significant discovery because it enlarged the thought process for others. They were curious about how it kept us alive, using it to breathe and burn things. Not only was the element a new change, but it was a new subject to build & challenge upon. -
Antoine Lavoisier
Lavoisier showed people that fire resulted when a substance rapidly combined with oxygen, and that it was not an element. He also proved that matter can change form but can not be destroyed by mixing steam with the air and observing how it turns invisible. Lavoisier was a very important scientists because he cleared up many misunderstandings and paved the way for modern chemistry.
