“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds

cannot change anything.”

Personally, this quote reminds me of and picturesque Scientific Revolution- the time that
science made a drastic change in the societal view of nature. The changing of conceptions
pertaining to scientists' roles concerning nature, the methodology of gathering evidence, and
observed experiments' value. Moreover, the Scientific Revolution gave birth to developments in
various fields; mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and other branches, which broaden our
knowledge about the things around us. 

The scientific revolution began in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance period,
influencing Enlightenment. The publication of Copernicus’s (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly
Spheres) marked the unfolding of the scientific revolution. Traditional philosophies and ideas
such as the Ptolemaic model of planetary motion were shaped using a new approach- inductive
reasoning that generates more reliable and comprehensive concepts.
During the scientific revolution new methods emerged; a more systematic research
experimentation was used. Baconian method was also introduced; a planned procedure of
investigating things as natural. Furthermore, new ideas were contributed and considered as
revolutions in their fields. To name such, Heliocentric model of Copernicus demonstrating the
sun as the center of the universe. Kepler and Galileo’s discoveries provisioned the theory’s
credibility and the work is finally published in Isaac Newton’s Principia. Subsequently, laws of
motion, universal gravitation and views concerning physical universe was cultivated.
Correspondingly, dissection of human corpses in studying human anatomy, exploring magnetism
and electricity, modernization of different disciplines and invention of tools that strengthen our
understating of sciences.
Since scientific revolution influence and brought for the Age of Enlightenment it
emphasizes more the importance of the scientific method rather than traditional beliefs and
religious symbolism. It accentuates legitimacy and credibility. Thus, Enlightenment science
significantly renowned empiricism and rational thought that leads to advancement and progress.
Science grew by means of scientific societies, academies and universities that promotes scientific
research and development. At this time, consequential advancements in practice of medicine,
mechanics, physics, biological taxonomy and other discipline that laid the foundations of what
we know in this modern times.
