The document discusses major scientific revolutions from ancient to medieval times. It mentions Aristotle's theory of the four classical elements (earth, wind, fire, water) that composed all things. It then discusses the geocentric model of Ptolemy and the transition to the heliocentric model of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and Newton. Newton is credited with making huge advances in physics and mathematics by building upon the work of prior scientists like Galileo and Kepler.

1. Revolutions of Thought
They Blinded us with science!
That’s right. I went there!

2. Aristotlean concept
The substance of our world is made up of Earth,
Wind and Fire (and Water as well, but it ruins
the musical motif)
Every item on Earth moves according to the level
of its major component
Outer space was made up of completely different
stuff

3. Medieval beliefs
Geocentric theory of
astronomy proposed by
Greek thinker Ptolemy
and advocated by Bible
and most Christian faiths

4. Copernican system

5. Tycho Brahe
Kept accurate records
for decades as the
Danish Royal
Astronomer
Had an assistant
named Johannes
Kepler

6. Kepler used Brahe’s data

7. To formulate three laws
Defended his own mother in a witch
trial in 1617-21
First Law: Orbits are in ellipse shapes
Second Law: In their ellipse, as
planets closer to the Sun, their speed
temporarily increases
Third Law: A planet further from the
Sun will take longer to make a full
solar revolution

8. Galileo figaro magnifico

9. Telescope

10. Pulse

11. His scandalous book!

12. Trial
On trial for
advocating his
heretical theory
“But it does move”
House arrest for life

13. Sir Francis Bacon and Renee
Descartes
Inductive reasoning Deductive reasoning

14. Newton
Made huge advances in
calculus, physics, philosophy,
religious study and alchemy
“Nature and nature’s laws
lay hid in night.
God said ‘Let Newton be’ and
all was light!”
Alexander Pope
“If I have seen further, it has
been by standing on the
shoulders of giants.” I. Newton
