Document Summary
Task 2: through the lens of new science. What are the different scientific methods: how did science influence the renaissance, the shift from the old and the new sciences, plus obstacles and consequences. Chapter 2: the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century: From a geocentric to a heliocentric model of the universe: 16th century interest in astronomy due to the julian. Afterwards this calendar was replaced by the gregorian calendar. Aristotle"s world view: aristotle and ptolemy proposed the model of the universe. The earth was in the center (geocentric model). Around the earth (static) circled the wondering stars, the moor mercury venus sun mars . Beyond saturn was the turning sphere of the fixed stars, the stars that stayed stationary relative to one another. Two distinct regions were discerned: sub-lunar region: from the earth up to the moon, super-lunar region: from the moon to the end of the universe. Nothing existed outside the universe not even space.
