Transcript of Day 46 Opening Question
• Use 2 slots• Slot 1 Title = Science
Advancements– What new advancements
in science should humans try to achieve today and/or in our lifetimes?
• Slot 2 Title = Science Fears– What new advancement in
science do you fear? Why?
– What do you think society fears in science? Why?
• Title = Aliens• If an alien spaceship landed in the
United States tomorrow, how would you/the world handle this moment? What could happen?
• Analyze the PERSIAGM impact of the scientists of the Scientific Revolution
• EQ5 – How did the Scientific Revolution impact Europe intellectually, socially, and religiously?
• Starts in the mid 1500 to early 1700s
• Inspired by…– Ren
• Why?– Other time
periods!!• Why?
• What invention will help it?
• Advancements in Math (and offshoots of it) happened
• Renaissance changes everything– explodes information of
Greeks– Scientists of 1500 have more
to question or test– artists observed nature more
• Math stressed more– Math used to make war
inventions– Math = answer to all scientific
questions
• …• Whenever a Revolution takes place, there are usually
adversaries…who are they in this story?• What is at stake in this struggle?• Whenever new “revolutionary” ideas are introduced to
society, what process seems to take place?• If “revolutionary” ideas eventually win, what must all of
society do with these ideas?
• Astronomy– Nicholas
Copernicus (1473-1543)
– Martin Luther (1483-1546)• The Tag Team
that never was
• Heliocentric Model of the Universe– Sun is the
possible center of the Universe…NOT EARTH
• On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres
• How did he discover this?
• Geocentric Model– Ptolemy (Ancient
Greek who came up with it) and Aristotle
– Earth is the Center of the Universe
• Who supports this model?– Bible (God and
heaven after Saturn)
– Ptolemy + Aristotle supporters
– Most of society felt it made sense
• Make sense?
• RC Church Quiet for now
• Tycho Brahe (1546-1601)– His
discovery?• Johannes
Kepler (1571-1630)– His
discovery?• What is their
impact? Did they agree with Copernicus?
• Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)– Italian
• Invents and uses…– What does he
conclude?
• Writes “The Starry Messenger”– Publishes his discoveries
• Jupiter’s moons, sunspots• Confirmed helio-centrism as
FACT• Upsets…
– Catholic Church• “This Italian is hurting the
credibility of his own church”– RC Church tells him to teach
helio-centrism, not as fact…• But as theory,
– Not in big trouble…yet
• Dialogue of the Two Chief World Systems: Ptolemaic and Copernican
• Three men having a dialogue– Sagredo – Simplicio – Salviati
• What do they discuss?– Salviati persuades Sagredo
to believe the Copernican theory
– Simplicio is the stupid Ptolemy supporter
• 68, old and sick• Guilty of…
– Heresy and disobedience
• What does Galileo have to do to get off the hook? (and he does it!!)– Denounce his
beliefs (déjà vu)• Says “And yet it
does move” on his way out the trial room (?)
• House arrest for last 8 years of his life
• His writings spread and gain support– Europe adjusts
• Dies in 1642
• Copernicus• Brahe• Kepler• Galileo• Paracelsus• Andreas Vesalius• William Harvey• Robert Boyle• Francis Bacon• Rene Descartes• Isaac Newton• Blaise Pascal
• Greek Physician Galen• His anatomy pictures were the
standard– But made from animals (no Leo)
• Many flawed theories– 2 blood systems– 4 humors (blood, yellow bile,
phlegm, black bile)– Urine analysis the “best” test
• 3 men will challenge Galen
• Father of Toxicology• Studied effects of
chemicals on the human body– even toxic substances
can be beneficial in the right dosage…
• Controversial but accomplished
• Sickness does not come from 4 humor imbalance, but…– Outside agents
• 1514-1563• Wrote “On the Fabric
of the Human Body”• His impact? • His book is mass
produced because of advancements with…–Printing Press
• Vesalius was wrong about one thing though
• 1578-1657• Wrote “On the Motion of
the Heart and Blood”• All blood begins at…
– Heart• not liver
• Red and Blue blood are the same– It makes one circulation
through body
• At this time people were interested in what was “truth” and how it can be determined
• Descartes and Bacon’s ideas say that truth is all that we can prove.
• Belief and faith not part of it…–Who is
• 1561-1625• Began Scientific
Method• Views on Religion?• Inductive
Reasoning?–Experimentation
and observation will find truth
–Don’t begin an experiment with…• General
assumption you want to test…
• French (1596-1650)
• Deductive Reasoning?– Human Reason
solves what?– AKA Rationalism
• Descartes & Scientific Method?
• Founded Cartesian dualism– 2 things exist in the universe (made by God)
• Mind…can’t doubt it exists• Matter…which is dead/inert
– Mind and Matter are separate• Use REASON in your mind to find truth in the material
world and the laws that operate it– If Mind and Matter are separate, what else is?
• Descartes and Religion?
Who combines inductive and deductive?
• 1643-1727 (English)• Why is he famous?
(a few books written)– Laws of Universal
Gravitation explains…• Completes
Copernican Theory– 3 laws of motion
• Explains how & why everything moves
– Combined Bacon & Descartes to finish the Scientific Method
• Light & Optics– Theory of
Color based on bending white light with prism
• Made first…– Reflecting
Telescope• Developed
calculus theories
• More
• Founder of modern Chemistry– Ascends the field of
alchemy to legitimate science
• Made theory of…–Elements,
Compounds and Mixtures
• Begins to fade out Alchemy
• Who is winning the struggle?– Scientists (Copernican theory supporters)
• What are the effects on Religion and Society?– Secularization?
• Did scientists want to hurt Religion? Yes or no?– Newton felt Science would validate God’s existence
Ghost Hunters!!
• Benedict de Spinoza• Who inspired him?
–Descartes• Contribution to
making peace?–Pantheism(monism)
• What is the big deal?
• What are his scientific talents?
• How does he try to make peace with Science and Religion?
• Does reason & faith mix, or are they separate?– “The heart goes beyond
reason, and that is what feels God”
• What else did he do? – You should bet that God exists
• If He does– then we all win
• If He does not– we lose nothing
• Will Pascal be Successful?
• Yes or No…why?• Like the Sci Rev, women
were also inspired by…• What “old” POV stood in
their way?– What happened in the Sci Rev
to uphold this POV? (sheesh)• Psychologically?• Biologically?
• They even lost traditional jobs…
Maria Sibylla Merian
•Both were accomplished in their fields…
•German•English •Obstacles they faced?
•Other similarities? (some are big)
• How did they jump on board the revolution?• England, France & Germany get involved…
6. Governments & Science?
• Which classes are impacted first, and the most?–Elite & Mercantile…(how and
why?)• When does the Scientific
Revolution complete itself? (excitement, struggle, acceptance)
• Religion and Science always at odds to some degree–Copernicus, to Evolution, to cloning, to aliens,
to stem cell research–http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSm7BcQ

• Science and Society always build off of one another–Science impacts
politics, religion, society, art, military
