Changes in thought
The Scientific Revolution was born out of scientific
and mathematical advances made in the late 1500s and
early 1600s.
following the age of exploration new truths and new
research challenged previous thought processes and
studies.
Important people
Isaac Newton came up with the theory of gravity and the
laws of motion
Isaac Newton's work became the basis of physic and
calculus.
Copernicus came up with the heliocentric theory.

confirmed the heliocentric theory
