World-viewFor the medival ane early modern Europeans, this was primarily religious and theological
AristotleGreek philosopher who's ideas much of traditional European ideas about the universe were based on
ScienceThis was primarily a branch of theology
Nicolaus CopernicusThought that the Earth revolved around the sun
PtolemyGreat ancient astronomer, explained minor irregularities in the movement of planets with math
On the Revolutions of the Heavenly SpheresPublished in the year of Copernicus's death
Copernican HypothesisChanged a lot of things, destroyed idea of crystal spheres, suggested universe of huge size
ProtestantsEspecially hated the Copernican Theory
Exploing star, cometMade people question the perfection of heaven and the sky
Tycho BraheOne of Europe's leading astronomers, detailed observations of stars, made sophisticated observatory, collected as shit ton of data he didn't understand
Johannes KeplerVery good mathematician, interpreted the data that Brahe left behind
Laws of Planetary MotionOrbits of planets elliptical, planets don't move at uniform speeds, time planet takes toamke complete orbit is precisely related to distance from the Sun
Galileo GalileiChallenged old ideas about motion, used experimental method
Experimental MethodPioneered by Galileo, did experiments with rolling balls to find physical laws
Law of inertiaDiscovered by Galileo
Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the WorldHe openly detracted from the ideas of Aristotle and Ptolemy, pissed off Pope Urban VIII and then got executed
Isaac NewtonCombined the work of Kepler, Galileo, and other scientists into the law of universal gravitation
PrincipiaFamous book in which Newton presents his theory that combines all the shit thingies
Law of Universal GravitationSays that every body in the universe attracts every other body in the universe in a precise mathematical relationship
Gresham UniversityLocated in England, the first place where the scientists could get respect
Francis BaconMade empiricism official
Rene DescartesCame up with analytical geometry
Cartesian DualismDescartes belief that the world is made of "matter" and "mind"
Protestant CountriesMany became "proscience," lacking strong religious authority capable of imposing religious orthodoxy
Intellectual RevolutionScientific revolution of the seventeenth century was mostly this
