Good morning! Today's Core Concentration blog prompt is to explain why the Scientific Revolution was so important in history using claims and evidence.
There are a lot of reasons why the Scientific Revolution is important. For one, most of the science we study and practice today was discovered and first used during the period following the Renaissance and preceding the Enlightenment. We call this period of time the "Scientific Revolution". It's typically said to have lasted from about 1540 to 1700. It's called a revolution because it completely turned around the way people thought of science and their world. This is one of the reasons it's viewed as being so important.
Another reason why we study it and its significance is because many important scientific discoveries and observations were made during this time. The scientific method was first said to be used by Tycho Brahe in the late 1500s, and the more famous Galileo Galilei used it all the time to test and prove his experiments. Scientists like Brahe, Galileo, Kepler, and Copernicus fought hard to prove their ideas about the solar system and stars as true despite being accused of heresy. Others, like Sir Isaac Newton, were renowned for their work in other fields, like physics and optics. Many important scientific laws and theories were first proposed during this period. Many early scientists built their work and research on past teachings, with many eventually disproving them and each other. It was also a great time for philosophy and art, as it shares some years and elements with the Renaissance.
