Copernicus and the Trail of Galileo

The Scientific Revolution came forth a new theory of the universe. This new theory is called heliocentric and it means that the sun is the center of the universe. Before the scientific revolution, there was only the theory of Earth being the center of the universe which is called geocentric. Galileo used the Scientific Method to prove that geocentric was false and the sun was in fact the center of the universe. The church strongly believed in the geocentric theory and put Galileo on trial for his heliocentric beliefs. Galileo later died for his beliefs, but is thought of one of the greatest scientist of all time.

Scientific revolution:Scientific Method

The scientific revolution caused an outcome of success which came to the discovery of a simple logical way to make proof of someones beliefs upon the earth and/or universe. The scientific method was then introduced as the new way of challenging others ideas and proving whats right from wrong. The cause of the scientific method was brought on due to a Greek philosopher named Aristotle who only thought things were true because it was the way it ought to be. A well known example for Aristotle's mistake on science was the theory on which heavy objects would fall faster than small objects. He was proven wrong by Galileo, a great scientist, using the Scientific Method. The scientific method is a procedure of four steps:
1. Observation and description of a phenomenon or group of phenomena.
2. Formulation of an hypothesis to explain the phenomena. In physics, the hypothesis often takes the form of a causal mechanism or a mathematical relation. 3. Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena, or to predict quantitatively the results of new observations.
4. Performance of experimental tests of the predictions by several independent experimenters and properly performed experiments.
From a mistake of a scientist, and another scientist not approving the other's belief, came an extremely useful method which is still used today

Darwin's Theory of Evolution

Darwin's theory was that all life like creature evolved from other species. Also from a descendent from a common ancestor in their family tree. Darwin though that the birds and the bannannas , the fish and the flowers were all related of some sort. Well Darwin's general theory presumes the growth of life from a non living world and stresses a purely naturalistic undirected descent with modification. also complexe creatures start to evolve from simple looking ancestors over time. Darwin's theory was a theory in crisis in temendous advances.
