NICOLAUS COPERNICUS
• In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus, a
Polish mathematician and astronomer,
challenged the Ptolemaic model.
• His ideas were an example of what is

presently called as a thought experiment.
Greeks philosophers and
intellectuals
• Planets moved around in
circular motion, and this
creates days and nights
• Claudius Ptolemy, stated
that planets, as well as the
sun and the moon, moved

the Earth

NICOLAUS COPERNICUS
• The publication of his book
De revolutionibus orbium coelestium
(On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres)
in 1543 is often cited as the start of the
scientific revolution.
NICOLAUS COPERNICUS
• 2 kinds of planetary motion:
orbits of Venus and Mercury lay inside the orbit of the

Earth, thus,closer to the sun; and
orbits of Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter lay outside the

Earth's orbit, thus farther from the Sun.
NICOLAUS COPERNICUS
• Heliocentrism -
suggested that the
center of the Solar
System was not the
Earth but actually the
sun.

useful in science in the present time?

the world's creation and its evolution.
• Darwin published his book The Origin of

Species in 1589.

• His book The Descent of Man was so
impresive yet very controversial.

religious or biblical design that places

having been created by God.
• What is Darwin's contribution to modern
science?
Freudian Revolution
SIGMUND FREUD
• Psychology was considered more of an art
rather than a science.
• In the late 19th century, Sigmund Freud was

elements:
–Id, Ego, and
Superego
SIGMUND FREUD

be a clinical method in treating some mental
disorders.

the concepts of psychoanalysis, which
eventually resulted in classifying psychology
as a science.
• How can you describe Freudian ideas
as a scientist?
• Can you name other scientific revolutions that happened
in the following places?
Mesoamerica
Asia
Africa
