After the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation, people began to see that reassessing old ideas to find new ones was benefitting to them. This led to reformations and revolutions in all parts of life. By looking at and reevaluating ideas and inventions from others, people were able to make and improve old and new ones.
In the Scientific Revolution, much thought was put into fields of astronomy, mathematics, and physics. Brilliant and revolutionary men like Galileo, Copernicus, Francis Bacon, and Isaac Newton made huge strides in sciences and mathematics. Though they contributed so much to the world, many of them were persecuted. Galileo, who supported Isaac Newton and was a Newtonian, was put on house arrest for his beliefs.
Some of the theories and advancements that were made in the Scientific Revolution include inventions such as the telescope and various machinery. Isaac Newton also discovered the force of gravity and subsequently came up with "Newton's Laws" of gravity. It was also discovered that instead of the universe being geocentric as previously thought, it was really heliocentric. Such ideas shape our world today.
