COMPARING ERAS ASSIGNMENT
In my opinion, I believe that The Scientific Revolution because there were many ideas on
what was going on with physics and astronomy before The Scientific Revolution. The one to start the Scientific revolution was Nicholas Copernicus, who discovered the heliocentric solar system within itself (McClellan 2006). The person I believe that brought the biggest contribution to the Scientific Revolution was Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton tied together physics and astronomy with the law of universal gravitation (McCellan,2006). Newton was able to prove that comets were solid bodies that move in the sphere of the sun. The three laws of motion are also thanks to Isaac Newton, law one: his inertial law that bodies in motion remain at rest or in straight-line motion unless acted upon by an outside force; law two: that force is measured by a change in motion (although he never wrote F = ma); and law three: that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In my primary source, Isaac Newton has rules for philosophy reasoning on how science should be approached. With these rules, he was able to apply both induction and deduction. Scientists cannot be biased when it comes to experiments. By following his rule Isaac Newton was able to prove his theories instead of leaving them unanswered.
