The LEAP of

Science and
Technology
during Scientific
Revolution
Scientific Revolution
The Scientific Revolution was the emergence of
modern science during the early modern
period, when developments of mathematics,
physics, astronomy, biology and chemistry
transformed the views of society and nature.
The scientific revolution began in Europe
towards the end of the Renaissance period
and continued through the late 18th century,
influencing the intellectual social movement
known as the Enlightenment
NICOLAUS COPERNICUS

De revolutionibus
orbium coelestium
is often cited as
marking the
beginning of te
scientific revolution.
WILLIAN GILBERT (1544-1603)

published books
On the Magnet and
Magnetic Bodies,
and the Great
Magnet the Earth
in 1600, which laid
the foundations of
a theory of
magnetism and
electricity.
TYCHO BRAHE (1546-1601)

He is known for his accurate


and comprehensive
astronomical and planetary
observations. In November
1572, He discovered the
“Tycho’s Star” or the “Star of
1572” . The crater Tycho on
the moon is named after him,
as in the crater Tycho Brahe
on Mars.
(Geo-Heliocentric theory or
tychonic theory)
JOHANNES KEPLER (1571-1630)

First publication in astronomy,


called Cosmographic Mystery .

Three Laws:
1.The Optical Part of Astronomy
(Ad vitellioem paralipomena
quibus astronomiae pars optica
traditor)
2.New Astronomy (Astronomia
nova)
3.Harmonies of the World
(Harmonic mundi)
It is so called “Third Law” which
draws attention to the relationship
between the annual periods of the
planets and their mean distances
from the sun.
FRANCIS BACON (1561-1626)

Published Novum
Organum in 1620, which
outlined a new system of
logic based on the process
of reduction, which he
offered as an improvement
over Aristotle’s
philosophical process of
syllogism. He was a pivotal
figure in establishing the
scientific method of
investigation.
GALILEO GALILEI (1564-1642)

The famous Italian


Astronomer who
demonstrated that a
projectile follows a
parabolic path; he
invented the telescope
(‘spyglass’) which
employs a convex
objectives lens and a
concave eyepiece.
RENE DESCARTES (1596-1650)

Published his
Discourse on the
Method in 1637,
which helped to
establish the
scientific method.
ANTOINE VAN LEEUWENHOEK (1632-1723

Constructed powerful
single lens
microscopes and
made extensive
observations that he
published around
1660, opening up the
micro-world of
biology.
ISAAC NEWTON (1643-1727)

He formulated laws of
Universal Gravitation and
motion; In his Principia,
Newton theorized his
axiomatic three laws of
motion.
1.The Law of Inertia
2.The Law of Acceleration
3.The Law of Interaction
ALEXANDRE KOYRE

Introduced the term


“Scientific Revolution”,
centering his analysis on
Galileo, and the term
was popularized by
Butterfield in his Origins
of Modern Science.
JOHN LOCKE

Recognized founder of
empiricism and proposed
in An Essay Concerning
Human Understanding
(1689) that the only true
knowledge that could be
accessible to the human
mind was that which was
based on experience. He
argued that the human
mind was created as a
tabula rasa, a ‘blank
tablet’.
ROBERT BOYLE (1627-1691)

He is best known for


“Boyle’s Law” which
he presented in 1662:
the law describes the
inversely proportional
relationship between
the absolute pressure
and volume of gas, if
temperature is kept
constant within a
closed system.
EVANGELISTA TORRICELLI (1607-1647)

was best known for his


invention of the mercury
barometer. The
motivation for the
invention was to
improve on the suction
