The Scientific Revolution occurred roughly between the 16th and 18th centuries, marking a period of profound transformation in scientific thought and methodology. It was characterized by a shift from reliance on ancient authority and religious dogma to observation, experimentation, and the scientific method. Key figures such as Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton emerged, challenging traditional views of the universe and laying the groundwork for modern science. This revolution led to advancements in fields such as astronomy, physics, biology, and chemistry, fundamentally changing humanity’s understanding of nature and the cosmos.
