People in the Scientific Revolution

Many people worked hard for their views during the Scientific Revolution and have influenced it greatly. A few of these people include Nicholas Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Margaret Cavendish, and Francis Bacon. Copernicus was an astronomer, but didn't take any astronomy classes in school, but rather painting and mathmatics (Nicolaus Copernicus). He was one of the first men to believe our solar system revolved around the sun. This, of course, upset many people because this concept chased away the locations they had set for heaven. Galileo's research on the stars and moon supported Copernicus ideas, and he also dicovered that stars weren't just bodies of light, but orbs of burning gas (Spielvogel). Newton, a mathmetician, made many observations with and wrote a book about the three laws of motion, which are now called "Newtons Laws". Like other scientists back then, Issac didn't study much in school. His fasinations with the world made him have poor studying habits; however, this did not mean that he wasn't learning (Isaac Newton). Francis Bacon, even though not a scientist/philosopher himself, created our modern day scientific method. He understood that better observations and calculations would be made if we had an organized way of conducting experiments (Spielvogel). These people made our lives easier today by making their discoveries and making them public. If they had not published/advertised their works and findings, we wouldn't be as advanced with our world today.
