The Scientific Revolution
By Boundless
The scientific revolution, which emphasized systematic experimentation as the most valid research method, resulted in developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry that transformed the views of society about nature.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, European scientists began increasingly applying quantitative measurements to the measurement of physical phenomena on the Earth, which translated into the rapid development of mathematics and physics.
While astronomy is the oldest of the natural sciences, its development during the Scientific Revolution entirely transformed the views of society about nature by moving from geocentrism to heliocentrism.
The Renaissance period witnessed groundbreaking developments in medical sciences, including advancements in human anatomy, physiology, surgery, dentistry, and microbiology.
