The Scientific Revolution represented a major change in views of the physical universe that began in the 17th century. Prior medieval science was based on reasoning and tradition rather than experimentation. The Scientific Revolution established new principles of science based on questioning old assumptions, empirical evidence through experimentation and observation, and reason over religious dogma. Major developments included Copernicus establishing a heliocentric model of the solar system, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, Galileo's astronomical observations with the telescope, and Newton's formulation of universal gravitation and the laws of motion.

The Origin of Modern Astronomy
*
The passions of astronomy
are no less profound
because they are not noisy.
- JOHN STEINBECK
The Short Reign of Pippin IV
*
If you are concerned about the environment, you owe a debt to the 16th century Polish astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus. He proposed that Earth is not the center of the universe, but just one of the planets that circle the sun. His theory made Earth part of the cosmos and led to the modern understanding of humanity’s place among all the creatures of Earth.
*
As you read about Copernicus and his theory, you will see astronomers struggling with two related problems:The place of EarthThe motion of the planets
*
That struggle led Galileo before the Inquisition.It also led Isaac Newton to discover gravity.
*
As you read about the birth of modern astronomy, notice that it is also the story of the invention of science as a way to know about the world we live in.
*
Before Copernicus, the world seemed filled with mysterious influences.After Newton, scientists understood that the world is described by natural laws that are open to human study. The mysteries of nature are mysteries because they are unknown—not because they are unknowable.
*
Astronomy Before CopernicusTo understand why Copernicus’s model was so important, you first need to backtrack to ancient Greece and meet the two great authorities of ancient astronomy:Aristotle, the brilliant philosopherClaudius Ptolemy, a later follower of Aristotle’s principles
*
First, you should remember that the terms solar system, galaxy, and universe have very different meanings.You know now that our solar system is your very local neighborhood—much smaller than the Milky Way Galaxy.Milky Way, in turn, is tiny compared with the observable universe.
Astronomy Before Copernicus
*
However, from ancient times up through Copernicus’s day, it was thought that the whole uni ...
COPERNICAN-REVOLUTION-The idea that the Earth, and by extension humanity.pptxSALAZARJohnVincentC
The Copernican principle, named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, is a fundamental concept in physical cosmology.T he idea that the Earth, and by extension humanity, does not occupy a privileged place in the universe is known as the Copernican Principle.
The Scientific Revolution, which is a modern term to describe the precursor to contemporary science, refers to a period of changing doctrinal beliefs and using a more scientific approach to find out logical truth. Factors such as the Renaissance, Reformation, weakening of the Roman Catholic Church, are some major factors which lead to the Scientific Revolution. Furthermore, this powerpoint will cover a series of "scientists" or philosophers who had the courage to change the mentality of Europe during the 1400s up until 1727.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
