Scientific Revolution. Part 2
Description
Part 2 of this series explores the latter half of this movement and the gradual acceptance of scientific facts. This fascinating period of history chronicles European society's emergence from Church domination that demanded the Bible be taken literally. During the latter part of the Scientific Revolution, the Church lost its grip on society, and the new science flourished. The video introduces the pioneers of science who gave the world a better understanding of nature, the universe, and the human body. Some of the great minds discussed include Johannes Kepler, known for formulating and verifying the laws of planetary motion; Rene Descartes, one of the greatest natural philosophers; Robert Boyle, The Father of Chemistry; Christiaan Huygens, a brilliant astronomer; and Sir Isaac Newton, considered by many scholars to be the most important of the great thinkers of the Scientific Revolution.
