• 1. Before the Scientific Revolution, most people accepted explanations from religious authorities or ancient philosophers about how the world worked

• 1. It’s important because it transformed how people understood the natural world, emphasizing observation, experimentation, and the use of the scientific method, which is still central to science today.

• 1. The Catholic Church condemned Galileo’s support of the heliocentric theory as heretical because it contradicted their teachings. 

• 1. The scientific method is a systematic approach to inquiry that involves observing phenomena, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and drawing conclusions based on evidence.

1. Why do historians believe the Scientific Revolution happened mostly during the 17th century?
   

• 1. Scientists, by relying on evidence and questioning long-held beliefs, undermined the Church's authority on matters of the natural world.

• 1. The 17th century was a period of intense intellectual activity, where many key scientific discoveries were made

• 1. the belief that the Earth is at the center of the universe and that all planets, stars, and the Sun revolve around it. 

• 1. These observations showed that not everything revolved around the Earth and provided evidence that the planets, including Earth, revolved around the Sun, supporting Copernicus' heliocentric model.

1. How did the ideas of the Scientific Revolution challenge the authority of the Catholic Church?
   

• 1. The 17th century was a period of intense intellectual activity, where many key scientific discoveries were made. The invention of new tools like the telescope and microscope, combined with the publication of important works such as Isaac Newton’s Principia Mathematica, solidified this period as the heart of the revolution.

• 1. Before the Scientific Revolution, most people accepted explanations from religious authorities or ancient philosophers about how the world worked. 

• 1. Many discoveries of the Scientific Revolution, such as the heliocentric theory (Earth revolves around the Sun), contradicted the teachings of the Catholic Church, which held great power and claimed that the Earth was the center of the universe. Scientists, by relying on evidence and questioning long-held beliefs, undermined the Church's authority on matters of the natural world.

• 1. Copernicus’ idea was controversial because it went against the geocentric view endorsed by the Catholic Church.

1. What is the geocentric model of the universe, and who believed in it?
   

• 1. The geocentric model is the belief that the Earth is at the center of the universe and that all planets, stars, and the Sun revolve around it. This model was supported by ancient philosophers like Ptolemy and was accepted by the Catholic Church before the Scientific Revolution.

• 1. Scientists, by relying on evidence and questioning long-held beliefs, undermined the Church's authority on matters of the natural world.

• 1. The geocentric model is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the universe, and the Earth and other planets revolve around it.

• 1. The geocentric model promoted the idea that individuals could discover truths through their own observations and experiments rather than simply accepting what religious or ancient authorities said

1. What is the heliocentric model, and how did Nicolaus Copernicus contribute to it?
   

• 1. The heliocentric model is a systematic approach to inquiry that involves observing phenomena, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and drawing conclusions based on evidence.

• 1. The heliocentric model was a period of intense intellectual activity, where many key scientific discoveries were made.

• 1. The heliocentric model is the belief that the Earth is at the center of the universe and that all planets, stars, and the Sun revolve around it. This model was supported by ancient philosophers like Ptolemy and was accepted by the Catholic Church before the Scientific Revolution.

• 1. The heliocentric model is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the universe, and the Earth and other planets revolve around it. Nicolaus Copernicus was the first European scientist to propose this idea in his book

1. Why was Copernicus’ idea about the Earth orbiting the Sun so controversial at the time?
   

• 1. Copernicus’ idea was controversial because it went against the geocentric view endorsed by the Catholic Church.

• 1. Copernicus used a telescope to observe celestial bodies like the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus.

• 1. Copernicus formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which explained how objects move both on Earth and in space.

• 1. Many discoveries of the Scientific Revolution, such as the heliocentric theory (Earth revolves around the Sun), contradicted the teachings of the Catholic Church, which held great power and claimed that the Earth was the center of the univers

1. How did Galileo Galilei use his telescope to support the heliocentric model?
   

• 1. Galileo idea was controversial because it went against the geocentric view endorsed by the Catholic Church. 

• 1. Galileo’s support of the heliocentric theory was heretical because it contradicted their teachings

• 1. Galileo used a telescope to observe celestial bodies like the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus.

• none of th above

1. What was the Catholic Church’s reaction to Galileo’s findings, and what happened to him?
   

• 1. The Catholic Church used a telescope to observe celestial bodies like the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus. These observations showed that not everything revolved around the Earth and provided evidence that the planets, including Earth, revolved around the Sun, supporting Copernicus' heliocentric model.

• 1. The Catholic Church condemned Galileo’s support of the heliocentric theory as heretical because it contradicted their teachings. In 1633, Galileo was tried by the Inquisition and forced to recant his views. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

• 1. The Catholic Church idea was controversial because it went against the geocentric view endorsed by the Catholic Church. It suggested that Earth, and by extension humanity, was not the center of the universe, which challenged the prevailing religious and philosophical ideas of the time.
