SCIENTIFIC THE REVOLUTION, I I. Science and the World
II. What Was the Scientific Revolution? Astronomy: the solar system Nicholas COPERNICUS, 1473-1543 Johannes KEPLER, 1571-1630 GALILEO GALILEI, 1564-1642 ISAAC NEWTON, 1642-1727 Physics: mechanics and gravity Galileo Newton Mathematics: calculus Newton Leibnitz The scientific method - all great scientists were mathematicians - math unites 2 sciences- physics & astronomy together The Philosophy of science Francis Bacon Theory- carry out experiments, derive theory as a result of experiment, compare data, tend to confirm data, of no confirmation they reform theory III. Perspectives on the history of science SCIENTIFIC THEORYRevealed truth= started out with truth; truth cannot change DEDUCTION & deductive logic- previous scientific methodgoing from the general to the specific INDUCTION & inductive logic- what science actually needs; moving from the specific to the general. EX: Mary just died, Mary is human, human is mortal; therefore, humans are mortal. IV. Understanding of the World in 1500 ARISTOTLE- objects in motion stay in motion. He did not carry out experiments. He was a scientific THINKER-
came up with explanations of things. PTOLEMY- great Greek scientist who established Astronomy. St. Thomas Aquinas Theory of GEOCENTRISM Sublunary- everything below the moon in imperfect Superlunary- everything above the moon is perfect; heavenly Spherical orbitsNatural resting place- everything has a place are they supposed to be. Explains why things fall and move. Physics has nothing to do with astronomy. Physics- the world which is imperfect. Astronomy has to do with the heavens which are perfect V. The Process of Change: Astronomy Theory of HELIOCENTRISM- Copernicus doubted that God would make astronomy so ridiculous. Planet= wonderer in Latin, because of how they moved around. Tried to fit the Ptolemy idea and found out the HELIOCENTRIC theory fit Ptolemy data. Why don't we fall off the Earth? Bible says that the Earth does not move. Did not publish his book--he died. Aristarchos of Samos Tycho Brahe- Danish astronomer who built his own observatory that was the best in the world before the telescope was invented. Party-goer who did not pay much attention to the data he collected. 1572- A new star appeared, caused Nova Stella (introduced to science as "nova") 1577 a comet appeared. His work causes problems in the old way of thinking. Old theories seemed to not be working anymore. Kepler- Started of as an astrologer, then an astronomer. Worked for Brahe. Kepler stole the data from Brahe and analyzed it. 1609 introduces the Laws of Planetary Motion. LAWS OF PLANETARY MOTION (1) orbits of planets are elliptical (2) planets move at different speeds (3) speed is related precisely to distance from the sun
Galileo: the marriage of astronomy and physics; built a telescope that was great. Moon has craters; there are lots of stars, found 4 of Jupiter's moons.
