The Scientific Revolution
During the middle age which is during 500AD-1350AD the catholic church hides most Greek and Roman scientific belief and teaches their followers only on a religious state. The innocuous people start to finally find science and become more intelligent. The second period to the revolution increases during the Renaissance people started to study about humanism. Which lead the RCC(Roman Catholic Church) to go against most of their followers and loose half of them in the process. Martin Luther starts a revolt against the RCC, showing how the RCC sells indulgences. Then after that during the 16th century a fight between botany and anatomy starts. Soon scientist started thinking about unexplainable things and how the didnt seem true anymore. This lead on to the 18th century and thus the change of the global mindset during the 16th century to 18th century was called the scientific revolution. Copernicus was technically the start of the revolution and now we have proof for most of the things we know.

Nicolaus Copernicus
was the first astronomer to come up with the theory of a heliocentric universe. This theory talks about how the sun(instead of the earth) is in the center of the universe where everything else revolves around it because of its massive mass. Its gravitational pull is greater than that of any other object in the milky way since it is the biggest substance in the universe. Since ever object has its own gravitational pull something bigger always pulls the smaller substance to it, but everything in the earth does have its own gravitational pull but the earth has its own pull where everything else on its radiance revolves and is pulled by it.

Galileo Trial/Affair
The RCC commends heresy on Galileo because of his support to Copernicus's theory heliocentric. After observing through his telescope the proofs and faults of all the accusations, Galileo starts supporting heliocentric and soon becomes contradicted by the church. Since geocentric was a popular and most known theory, when people find that the earth does move they become astonished. Galileo was sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life, where he continues his work and passed it on to his pupil. A book was soon wrote about Galileo and after that a reasearch academy was named after him, which made him very known.
