Was+the+Scientific+Revolution+revolutionary?

1 :) & :( NO It happened over a long period of time (few hundred years) It was gradual. YES The old ideas were overturned, for example, people started to believe that the Earth revolved around the SUN. There were also new ways of thinking -> people did not believe in magic anymore.
 * revolutionary**: //a big change caused by the overturning of old ideas//

2 :) Definition fits S.R., therefore S.R. is revolutionary.
 * revolutionary**: complete & marked change
 * revolution**: overthrow & thorough replacement of _
 * paradigm shift**: a change in a set of assumptions, concepts, values and practices

3 :) -changed the mindsets and way of thinking //(specify more?)// Before -theories -individual work -ancient authorities After -practical -group of scientists (e.g. royal society) --- common way of thinking -proved by evidence
 * revolutionary**: involving or causing a complete/dramatic change e.g. S.R.

4 YES IT WAS REVOLUTIONARY Discoveries were made that changed the people's mindset, which in turn had a huge impact on their lives. -increased knowledge Andreas versalius did human dissections and published a book 'the fabric of human anatomy', that transformed the medical world. the book included detailed and accurate drawings of the skeletal system muscular system and many other organs, such as the brain. He disproved many of Galen's claims such as the liver consisted of 3 lobes. This increase knowledge about the human anatomy opened up the doors to many more medical discoveries, such as cures and treatments for illnesses. (It was revolutionary because nobody has done it before - show where the various organs are inside people and how they work) Before: Galen dissected apes, Apes - 4 limbs, same as people, therefore what's inside them is the same as what's inside a human being

// Didn't define revolutionary. Gave good example - but when you use an example, you have to ** prove ** something. //

5 Revolution: dramatic change in this case, dramatic change is... -science has replaced religion -science is now FAITH -in the past, the world was theocentric & used religion to explain everything -but now, mathematics is the language of science. empricium has replaced mythicism. scientific method has been formed and man believes he controls the world we lives in. -would you see a priest when you are sick? // This is truly revolutionary. Anyone who picks up a scientific paper, anywhere in the world, can understand. Same method used around the world - common language - Mathematics e.g. S.I. units //

6 revolution --- dramatic change /degree of change /pace of change /scale of change /consequences //- intellectual crisis? change was too much, not too fast, to handle for people// -caused a dramatic change in people's perception of the universe geocentric -> heliocentric universe new discoveries -> old schools of thought were not true -> changed perception centuries of assumption overturned -affect how modern Science is today Scientific method -> if new evidence doesn't support old theories, theory is rejected.

// Good - before & after - showed change

BACKBONE OF HISTORY: TIME Therefore timeline is useful, looking at what has happened before provides a baseline for us to track changes The term S.R was applied retrospectively Histories look back -> period of time was revolutionary -> dramatic change in the way we saw the world -> S.R. At the end of it all, SCIENCE HAS REPLACED RELIGION. Everything happened to demons and life centered around religion, now science has replaced religion as faith. e.g. when you're sick, do you see a priest, or a doctor? When you need an operation, do you see a chinese doctor, or a surgeon? The scientific paradigm has become the dominant way we look at problems. We look to science, not popes, for solutions.
 * Things to note**

If man can explain how planets revolve around the sun, man can now explain how He works... (??) If this was a Scientific revolution, who were its revolutionaries? Scientists. What was its ideology? //
