Document Summary
Connections in the development of the new science. Recall that on the aristotelian world view the universe thought to be relatively small. This conception of a relatively small universe would change in the 1600s with the telescope galileo had observed countless more stars than previously known which itself suggest the universe might be larger than previously conceived. In the late 1500s and and early 1600s the idea of a large perhaps infinite universe was a difficult one to accept. De cusa and bruno"s ideas helps the notion that an infinite uni(cid:448)erse (cid:449)ill reflect the infinite greatness of god helps makes conceptual sense of the new view on the size of the universe. Not only did they have you help me conceptual sense of a huge perhaps infinite universe but notably the view was tied in with that world philosophy called atomism. Atomism according to this theory reality ultimately consist of atoms and the void.
