Geocentric theory formed
Ptolemy stated that "the sun and planets moved around the earth. Eart is the center of the universe. This theory was believed for centuries. -
1252
Earliest scientist to favor system of scientific experimentation
Even though he favored it he did not practice the scientific method. this because like other scientists he was shaped by the current practices and alchemy -
1500
Scientific method formed
New tools and instruments allowed alchemists to transition to nonfictional discoveries rather than tricks and magic. -
1543
Heliocentric theory developed
Copernicus published his heliocentric theory. No one really believed it because they could feel that the earth didn't move and saw all the other heavenly bodies move around the earth. His theory challenged the theory developed over 1400 years ago and went against the teaching of the Catholic church. That was unacceptable in the time period. -
1564
Calculus developed
Sir Issac Newton and Gottfried Leibnitz both separately worked on developing calculus in totally different places without communicating. This is a strong example that the revolution was moving forward at unprecedented speeds. -
Laws of planetary motion published
Johnathan Kepler studied the orbit of planets around the sun trying to prove the heliocentric theory. he did not succeed but instead created a very important piece in the puzzle of understanding space. He published his laws of planetary motion dictating that planets travel in oval-shaped orbits called eclipses rather than in than spherical orbits. It also dictated that planets closer to the sun move faster than those farther away. -
Novum Organtum published
This book outlined that scientific discoveries could only be made through observation. it also outlined that the experiment could be repeated with the same su=esut multiple times to prove its worth. -
Law of refraction published
Renne Descartes published and researched the law of refraction. This law dictated when light was refracted by a translucent substance how much it was refracted. Renne collaborated on this with Willebrod Snellius. -
Mechanical philosophy published
The mechanical philosophy was the idea that all action in the known universe can relate to mechanical principals which can be explained and predicted -
Electricity discovered
Dr.William Gibert creates a friction powered electric generator and uses it to experiment with electricity. He discovered that electricitycould manifest itself in lots of substances -
French Academy of Science founded
On 20 January 1699, Louis XIV gave the Company its first rules. The Academy received the name of Royal Academy of Sciences and was installed in the Louvre in Paris. Following this reform, the Academy began publishing a volume each year with information on all the work done by its members and obituaries for members who had died. -
Newtons laws formed
Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that, together, laid the foundation for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces. More precisely, the first law defines the force, the second law offers a quantitative measure of the force, and the third says that a single isolated force doesn't exist. -
Steam engine created
This invention was used was used to power all sorts of machines including mills, looms, and pumps. This invention allowed for the rapid industrialization of Europe and the ability to create goods faster and more efficiently. -
Discovery of Oxygen
Joeseph Priestly an English chemist discovered oxygen. Before this people belived fire was an element. -
Naming of Oxygen
Antoine Lavoisier named oxygen in 1782 after Joeseph Priestly discovered it. Lavoisier named it after demonstrating how fire was when oxygen rapidly reacted with a substance. He also showed how steam mixed with air and became invisible. The was important in his contributions to the law of conservation. This law dictates that matter cannot be created or destroyed but can only be changed
