Kepler studied Copernicus's Heliocentric Theory to see if he was right or not. Eventually Kepler found that the Earth moved around the Sun and published his theory in 1609.
-
In 1620 Bacon decided that no theory could be true unless it was proved through multiple physical tests. He relied on demonstrations rather than ideas and wrote Novum Organum to talk about physical expirements
-
In 1632 Galileo published his theories on what he found with the telescope. He proved the Geocentric theory to be wrong since he saw Jupiter's moons circling around Jupiter meaning not all planets circled around Earth.
-
In 1637 Rene Descartes said that no theory should be viewed as correct until proved through questions. He said that only ideas that could be proven should be accepted. He created the new way to question theories which was "I think, therefore I am"
-
In 1687 Isaac Newton created a book that showed the planets revolving around the sun, though the book showed this, current scientists didn't know what caused them to move like this
-
Around 1687 Newton did many tests to figure out why the planets moved around the sun. He found that the sun pulls them in just like gravity on pulls us in on Earth
-
In 1774 Scientist Joseph Priestley found Oxygen, and it was named by Antoine Lasoisier
