You’re Doing it Wrong:Scientists is Smart!

(science rules!)

Before the Revolution:

Ptolemy and the Bible were the only sources of cosmology.

But stuff was up…

ExplorationThe Renaissance

The Reformation

Which led to some questions.

Nicolas Copernicus: Crazy ol’Goat< On the RevolutionOf Heavenly Spheres

Revolutionary new theory: Heliocentrism!

But then again…

No one cares about Poland.

Everybody was busy with the religious wars.

And he published it at his death.

Tyco Brahe: Data Collection Machine

“Don’t mind me, imma just take some observations and such. Also, maybe the sun is at the center, and stuff.”

Johannes Kepler: No longer the assistant!

Proved that Copernicus was right withmath, and that the orbits were elliptical.

“Thanks, Tyco! You’re my bro!”

Galileo Galilei: Awesomeness with a Beard

Discovered the Law of Pendulum while watchinga swinging chandelier.

He was a scientific Hoss

< Adapted an existingtelescope to see objects REALLY far away.

Threw stuff of the Towerof Pisa to figure out thatgravity affects all thingsequally.

1610: Published “The Starry Messenger.” Discovered dark spots on the moon and the sun, and 4 of Jupiter’s moons.

Church says “Srsly? Cut it out. Kthxbai.”

1632:Published the “Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems” which very subtlyshowed how awesome heliocentrism is.

1633: Church says “ORLY?”Brought before the Pope in chains by the Inquisition. Heresy!!

Would you deny something that you knew was true?

“But it does move.”But since he recanted, they couldn’t execute him. Instead, he was put under house arrest. For the rest of his life. Sad props until 1992.

Science becomes revolutionary!Francis Bacon - Inductive

Rene Descartes - Deductive

“Cogito Ergo Sum”

Enter the Apple: Isaac Newton!

Light & ColorLaws

Universal Gravitation

Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

The universe is like a giantMachine…

…explainable by math…

…making god a designer, and maybe not that active. Enter DEISM!

No, seriously, there were a lot of scientists.

Janssen invented the microscope.

But then Leeuwenhoekperfected it.

And discovered bacteria, protozoa, and red blood cells.

Yep, more science.

Torricelli, student ofGalileo, invented the barometer. Anders Celsius and Gabriel Fahrenheit

invented temperature. Just kidding, theyinvented methods of measuring it. And America went with the weird one.

Also of Note!

William Harvey, discoveredcirculation through vivisection ofRabbits, dogs and stuff.

Vesalius dissected people.For “science”.

Boyle discovered laws ofpressure and gasses… excitingstuff.

Science also goes in people:

Jenner injected small children with smallpox.But it’s okay, since the smallpox was dead andit gave the kiddos an inoculation!

Antoine Lavoisier discovers oxygen. Doesn’t do him much good, though when he is later guillotined during the French Revolution!

Oxygen8O15.9994

Science + Religion = Confusing!

Meanwhile, Blaise Pascal wrote his Pensees, which combined science andreligion. First attempts at finding common ground between very different views
