Appendix 1.4.6b ANSWERS for the Major Scientists Graphic Organizer Name Time Period/ Area of Science Traditional Belief Experiments New Ideas Reactions - 1543-1543 - Astronomy - geocentric (earthcentered) view of the universe - Aristolelian belief in crystal spheres - theorized about a suncentered universe, released “On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres” a year before he died - Copernican hypothesis, idea that stars, plants and earth revolved around a fixed sun - destroyed idea of believing in crystal spheres moving stars around earth - attacked by relig. leaders, esp. Protestant - slow reaction - 1546-1601 - Astronomy - geocentric view of universe - detailed observations of new star in 1572 - agreed with Copernicus’ theory - contributed huge amounts of data - rec’d generous grants from Danish king to fund observatory - 1571-1630 - Astronomy/ Mathematics - old system of Aristotle and Ptolemy - worked through Brahe’s mass of observation data - formul. 3 laws of planetary motion - orbits of plants around sun more elliptical, planets don’t move at uniform speed in their orbits & time it takes to complete orbit around sun same as distance to sun - mathet. proved Copernicus’ theory - had demolished old system of Aristotle and Ptolemy that was used for millenniums - 1564-1642 - Astronomy/ Mathematics - traditional world view rested on determining and accepting the proper est. authority (i.e. Aristolelian and Ptolemy) - acceleration experiment: showed how uniform force (gravity) produced uniform acceleration - elaborated and consolidated the experimental method - law of inertia: objects continue in motion forever unless stopped by external force - use of the telescope in astronomy - Galileo was tried for heresy by the papal Inquisition after defending views of Copernicus and denouncing worldview of Aristotle and Ptolemy - 1642-1727 - experimental and theoretical mathematics/ Physics - traditional world view (old system of Aristotle and Ptolemy) - using set of mathematical laws to explain motion and mechanics - law of universal gravitation: synthesis of work of previous scientists - Newton became a public figure - credited for many discoveries , knighted by Queen Anne Nicolaus Copernicus Tycho Brahe Johannes Kepler Galileo Galilei Isaac Newton Based on the work of: A.
