science in the early stages
science wasn't a thing back then it was all made and all the beliefs they had were based off of religion and ancient beliefs that have been made by people thousands of years ago and that belief has never been challenged or changed they just believed everything that their ancestors believed -

The New Study of Nature
this is when the scientific revolution really began taking off scientists began to question things around them and old ancient beliefs that have been around for ages thy also began using new ways of finding answers like mathematics scientific tools and experiments in order to find the answer to questions they had it was a turning point in the world and led people to have better understandings of the world around them -
1500
The start of the revolution continued
the renaissance encouraged investigation discoveries and curiosity and the application of new knowledge that will be gained from the revolution to be applied to everyday life they were willing to use new approaches to answer questions they have always had on the world people began using science and mathematics to figure out mysteries of the world the study of nature became more organized they were no longer explaining the world in terms of religious beliefs or magic or even ancient writers -
1500
The start of the revolution
People thought that science and magic were nearly the same thing alchemy relied on using "magic formulas" to change the substance like lead to gold astrologers believed that the place of the stars and planets influenced human life people still believed the ideas from people 2000 years ago who relied on religious teachings and the works of Greek and roman thinkers to explain the mysteries of nature and life -

Vesalius ad Harvey
they wrote a book that was all about the human body were they went into very deep detail especially for the timezone they were in that talked about everything they knew about the human body where they study the components of the body and how they work together and Harvey studied the circulation of our blood and how the heart worked this book gave everyone of the time a much better understanding of what went on inside of the human body -
1543
Copernicus heliocentric theory
Copernicus believed that the earth orbited the sun not other belief which was that the sun orbited the earth this challenged every bodies belief of the geocentric theory because they all thought that he was crazy believing this and even when he was able to prove that his belief was correct nobody wanted to believe what he was saying because they have been thinking of this idea for forever and now someone is coming in and saying it was wrong which made them deny the idea -

Other scientific discoveries
in the 1500's to 1600's discoveries were being made all throughout Europe German gottfriend liebnitz and Isaac newton developed the mathematical study of calculus but they weren't working together dutch scientist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek came up with the discovery of bacteria's he called them animalcules and wrote a book on all the bacteria's he found -
Astronomy Physics and Anatomy
These areas were very interesting to some of the scientists back in these times astronomy was the study of planets stars and the solar systems and how stuff orbited Physics was the study of how matters and energy could change and the properties of those things anatomy was he study of the human body which they would study on dead bodies several European scientists helped to shape these areas of study -
Science in the 1600
now we everything that was believed has been challenged and needed to be proved with experiments and scientific studies that the believer needed to do in order to prove their ideas and get people to believe them now we know that the stuff that scientists discover can be trusted because they have been using facts and experiments to prove that they are right -
Kepler and Galileo
Kepler and Galileo helped prove that Copernicus's idea of the heliocentric theory were correct because he didn't have the tools or the mathematics to prove his own theory so without them the theory wouldn't have been proven but when they did prove this the people were upset because they believed the old theory for ages and now someone is coming in and saying it was all wrong with proof and stuff nobody wanted to believe them because it challenged their belief that they have thought for ages -
Descartes
He was a french philosopher and was a great leader in the scientific revolution some of the ideas that he had led to advances in stuff like mathematics science and philosophy one of his beliefs was that no assumptions or beliefs should be accepted without question or experimentation he came up with the law "discourse on method" which stated that all assumptions had to be proven by known facts and that ideas that were true beyond all doubt -
more scientific discoveries
Robert Boyle discovered chemistry and showed haw matter can be changed and how temperature and pressure affects how much space a gas takes up and discovered the element oxygen another scientist Lavoisier people thought that fire was an element but he proved them wrong he showed that fire resulted when a substance quickly combined with oxygen he proved that matter can change forms but neither be destroyed or created -
Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton published a book going off of Copernicus's Kepler and Galileo's beliefs and he also proposed the laws of gravitation that said that all bodies attract each other and he proved this with Kepler and Galileo's discovery about falling objects he also explained the laws of motion and developed mathematical means of measuring motion he helped the science of his time a whole lot with all of his discoveries and we still to this day use his discoveries and mathematics -
End of the scientific revolution
Priestley and Lavoisier made their discoveries in the late 1700's and by that time the scientific approach spread across the knowledge on life by this time had increased beyond measure and rapid spread and exchange of knowledge were important characteristics of the revolution these resulted in the rise of printing presses and scientific societies and other communication improvements
