Main ideas of the scientific revolution?

Answer 1

Advancements in astronomy and physics

Answer 2

The Scientific Revolution is significant because it was the starting point of new discoveries about physics. Philosophers of the Scientific Revolution (Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, etc.) questioned the only governmental power (the Roman Catholic Church) by telling them their ideas about having a geocentric universe (belief that the Earth is the center of the universe) is wrong. This caused a commotion and the Church called it heresy (someone accused of heresy is accused of going against the Catholic Church; a major offense back in those times).

Overall, the evidence Galileo, for example, presented to the courts was that our universe is heliocentric, meaning the sun is the center of it and the other six planets revolve around it. (There are eight planets now, but back then, they were only aware of the planets up until Saturn.)

Without these advances in scientific knowledge, we would not have the information we do now about our physical world.

Something else you could say were significant are the technological advances (e.g.: telescopes).

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

During the scientific revolution, seventeenth-century natural philosophers had produced new answers to rudimentary questions about our world.

Age-old questions about astronomy and physics had been looked at through whole new perspectives, and some answered. Copernicus had countered the Ptolemaic system of the universe by suggesting that the earth revolved on its own axis and orbited the sun with the other planets. Galileo had seen that Jupiter had its own moons so the earth was indeed not the center of the planetary system. He had also seen that moon had earth-like features, such as plains and mountains, countering religious beliefs that celestial bodies were of a higher order of perfection.

New methods of gathering and deciphering information were created. Bacon advocated an inductive approach to knowledge: taking evidence from specific observations to draw general conclusions. This contradicted many methods at the time which had philosophical errors in how first principles were usually assumed. Descartes (who said the famous "Je pense donc je suis", "I think therefore I am") emphasized deductive reasoning, going logically from one certainty to another.

Natural philosophers began talking to and working with each other in organizations that developed research standards. Such organizations include England's Royal Society and the French Royal Academy of Sciences.

Knowledge was reborn during the scientific revolution. What did the scientific revolution do? A great deal for the intellectual world.
