Modern European History Essay #5
|
|
|
|
The discoveries of many scientist and great thinkers of the "Age of
|
|
Reason" have all contributed to the entire scope of how we view astronomy
|
|
today. The shift was of a less secular thesis to one based on humanism and
|
|
the Scientific Method. There were several great thinkers that led to this
|
|
discovery on the scientific level, which chiefly began and ended with the
|
|
astronomers/scientists Copernicus and Isaac Newton.
|
|
|
|
Copernicus was a mathematician as well as a scientist whom found the
|
|
stars fascinating. He did, however, find a great flaw with the
|
|
mathematical results of the universe being a Earth- centered one. He then
|
|
saw that if the universe was to revolve around the sun (an error on
|
|
Copernicus's part... only our solar system revolves around the Earth -- not
|
|
the universe!) then all of his mathematical formulas would become more
|
|
"aesthetic". Thus, he composed the theory, which led to great controversial
|
|
book "On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres" in which the church was
|
|
greatly angered. While Copernicus's book was not a revolutionary book, it
|
|
was, however, a catalyst to make other minds ponder the new Heliocentric
|
|
theory.
|
|
|
|
After Copernicus's death there were three other scientists which
|
|
helped credit the Heliocentric theory. Tycho Brahe was the first, he
|
|
played with the idea that the planets all revolved around the sun, but the
|
|
sun instead revolved around the Earth(still Geocentric). After Brahe's
|
|
death Johannes Kepler took the notes and data that Brahe had taken. Kepler
|
|
came up with the idea the it would be even more mathematically plausible
|
|
that the orbits of the planets around the sun (Heliocentric) were
|
|
elliptical, instead of circular and published the book "On the motion of
|
|
Mars"-- the problem was unfortunately that this could not be proved. The
|
|
most important of these three scientists was Galileo Galilei, whom looked
|
|
out his telescope one night and saw something very dangerous to the church.
|
|
He saw the Jupiter had a moon which orbited it. This meant big trouble
|
|
because it proved that everything did not revolve around the Earth --
|
|
contradicting the church. Galileo was attacked and pressured to deny this
|
|
evidence the rest of his life.
|
|
|
|
The final great thinker of the time was Isaac Newton, whom ended up
|
|
solving all the problems of the astronomers previously. Newton (Thanks to
|
|
an apple falling on his head -- just kidding!) developed the theory of
|
|
Gravity and several laws of science and Physics which now serve as the
|
|
basis of all we study today. Newton theories intelligently explained the
|
|
ideas and why the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun, and
|
|
also why there were elliptical orbits.
|
|
|
|
The great achievements of the scientists whom disproved the Geocentric
|
|
theory of the universe, contradicting the church's strong scholastism, ave
|
|
proved to be one of the greatest examples of courage and truly using
|
|
scientific method. The entire structure of our humanism and the
|
|
relationship with the universe changed forever. Hopefully now that we know
|
|
our place in the universe, we can work on fixing some of the problems back
|
|
here on Earth!
