Aristotle
"Aristotle’s influence on western culture and science has been enormous. His writings, many of which survived the great periods of turmoil and the millennia separating us from him, show him to be a man of tremendous intellect who thought deeply about the world." -
322 BCE
Aristotle
Because of how all of his thoughts were accepted and not tested or proven many of them were wrong causing the teaching of these thoughts to be incorrect. When the scientific revolution began they started questioning these beliefs and doctrine and found out that most of them are not correct, opening up the world of science. -

Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci the worlds greatest artist in all times, also was a philosopher and scientist. Not only did he a big part with science and art but also with Italian Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci's paintings and sketches unravels all of the different starts to the discovery and inventions in the scientific revolution. -

Andreas Vesalius
The founder of modern anatomy, the author of De humini corporus fabrica, was Andreas Vesalius. Misconceptions in anatomy were taught for over a thousand years was just fully explained and diagrammed in this book. Andreas Vesalius studied the human body, by observation that he had during dissections. -

NicolausCopernicus
Copernicus , who was a Polish scientist founder of astronomy, created a theory that earth was a moving planet going against the Catholic Church and their beliefs. This was called geocentric before because of how they thought that the earth was the center of everything. However, Copernicus changed that and said that we are moving and the sun is the center changing it to heliocentric. -
Period: Jan 1, 1571 to
Johannes Kepler
Kepler, a German astronomer, who was extremely good at math, helped prove that Copernicus heliocentric theory right with models and observation along with math. Also the solar system, which was discovered by Kepler, and the path that they took to travel around the world was on of the many discovery that had led to a changing time, called the scientific revolution. -
William Harvey
The circulation of the blood stream, and all the different organs, veins, and arteries was correctly described by William Harvey. He also explained how it was an ongoing circle of blood and how it will go to your heart and then come back to the same place your heart, which contracts to given your blood force for it to continue on to the rest of your body was put into words so people would understand it in De Moto Cordis ( Anatomical Studies on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals). -
Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon, who created and spreed the scientific method, was a scientist during the scientific revolution. This method consisted of gathering and analyzing data from experiments and observations, putting the way of logic-based arguments a way. This new way created a wave of new scientific discoveries, marking the beginning of the end of 2,000 year old natural philosophy of Aristotle. -
Galileo Galilei
Galileo Galilei taught math. the start of observations in the world around us and long lasting curiosity for the study of physics. due to all of the time and thought of Galileo Galilei he designed a telescope and also agreed on Copernican theory and helping him by publishing the Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, a discussion among three people: one who supports Copernicus' heliocentric theory of the universe, one who argues against it, and one who is impartial. -
Period: to
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
One of the main back bones of microbiology, was Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. Creating different microscopes helped him see the single celled animals such as plants, bacteria, and spermatozoa and other descoveries. "His microscopy methods were so finely tuned that after he discovered bacteria, this type of organism would not be observed again by any other scientist for over 100 years." http://www.famousscientists.org/antonie-van-leeuwenhoek/ -
René Descartes
René Descartes, one of the best philosophers in history, studied geometry, introduced skepticism a major part of the scientific method. "Descartes showed that he could solve previously unsolvable problems in geometry by converting them into simpler problems in algebra. He represented the horizontal direction as x and the vertical direction as y. This concept is now indispensable in mathematics and most other sciences."

Robert Boyle
According to famousscientists.org "Robert Boyle put chemistry on a firm scientific footing, transforming it from a field bogged down in alchemy and mysticism into one based on measurement. He defined elements, compounds and mixtures and he coined the new term ‘chemical analysis,’ a field in which he made several powerful contributions." http://www.famousscientists.org/robert-boyle/ -
Robert Boyle
Robert Boyle created the fist law of gas, also how the electrical forces are transmitted and all the components. Boyle what the first to write experimental guidance for other scientist showing them the value in have reliable repeated results in an experiment. -
Issac Newton
Issac Newton, the scientist who published Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy). I was often called Principia, this contained information on all of the essentials of physics. Also it explans and discribes Newtons laws of motion. -
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
A German who studies math, philosopher, physics and states man was Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. He was one of the many great mind in the scientific revolution. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, influenced many people in memetaphysicians, on of being the creation of calculus along with that the Leibniz wheel theories on forces, energy and time. -
Antoine Lavoisier
"Antoine Lavoisier revolutionized chemistry. He named the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; discovered oxygen’s role in combustion and respiration; established that water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen; discovered that sulfur is an element, and helped continue the transformation of chemistry from a qualitative science into a quantitative one."
