Introduction to the Scientific Revolution

This Period is a time of many historical changes in thoughts and beliefs that occurred in Europe between around 1550-1700.

The Period Begins with the Ideas of Nicholas Copernicus and ends with the contributions made by Isaac Newton

Topics Considered Began with Cosmology and Astronomy and then shifted to Physics towards the end of the Revolution.

Many of the New Ideas were contrary to traditions and what the world knew to be true, thus this period received the title "Scientific Revolution."
