The scientific revolution is the time where people created theory based on the ancient Greek or Romans and then they tried to prove the truth. Sometimes they found that they were right and sometimes they were wrong. For example these are two theory about the sun one is an ancient thought and the next is a theory that was proven after testing and searching for the truth. They are: the geocentric theory and the heliocentric theory.
THE GEOCENTRIC THEORY: The geocentric theory is the theory that say, the earth is the center of the solar system and the Universe. It also say that the sun revolves around the sun. It was first found by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and the catholic church believed it strongly.
THE HELIOCENTRIC THEORY: The heliocentric theory is the theory that proves the truth and what the science has proven. This theory has replaced the geocentric theory. People wanted to know the truth and wanted to sea beyond the stars and found out that the sun is the center of the universe, Earth and all the planets revolves around the sun.
The heliocentric theory proved all the tradition of the hole catholic church wrong. It was a great shame for the church and their religion. The catholic church kept this theory from fully accepted to the world. Copernicus is the first person to discover the heliocentric theory. But son there was a lot of new discovery about this theory and all new theory of physics. Galileo was very famous among them. he proved that the gravity accelerated all the objects toward the earth at the same rate, and further explored the laws of motions. The Catholic church didn't like some of Galileo's theory that went over Cristian theory. so Galileo was forced to agree with the church. then later on when the church found prove and a lot of other physicians argued and finally the church was forced to take what was the truth.
