Age of Enlightenment
A
cultural movement of intellectuals in the 17th and 18th centuries, which began first in Europe and later in the American colonies. Its purpose was to reform the way of thinking using reason, challenge related to tradition and faith, and advance knowledge through the scientific method. It promoted scientific thoughts, skepticism and intellectual interchange and completely opposed any kind of superstition, intolerance and some abuses of power by the church and the state.Slide3
It starts with Scientific Revolution
The Enlightenment starts with the Scientific Revolution
People started to question ideas that had been accepted as facts for hundreds of yearsSlide4
Back then, all knowledge
came from the
Catholic ChurchThe Catholic Church and the Bible
were the source of what was true and false in the worldSlide5
Also…
Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophers, such as Aristotle, said what was true about the natural worldSlide6
Scientific Revolution
Was a new way of looking at the natural world
Traditional ideas were found to be wrong through observation, experimentation, and theoriesSlide7
GEOCENTRIC
GEO
= EARTH CENTRIC = CENTER
They believed the Earth was the center of the universe Slide8
HELIOCENTRIC
HELIO = SUN CENTRIC = CENTER
They believed the sun is the center of the universeSlide9
Aristotle
T
he spherical Earth is at the center of the universe, and all other heavenly bodies are attached to 47–56 transparent concentric spheres which rotate around the Earth. Slide10
Ptolemy
Ptolemy argued that the Earth was in the center of the universe, from the simple observation that half the stars were above the horizon and half were below the horizon at any time
90-178Slide11
Nicolaus
Copernicus
All the spheres revolve about the sun as their mid-point, and therefore the sun is the center of the universe.What appear to us as motions of the sun arise not from its motion but from the motion of the earth and our sphere, with which we revolve about the sun like any other planet. The earth has, then, more than one motion
.
1473-1543Slide12
Johannes
Kepler
Kepler's Three Laws can be used to describe the motion of the Planets:1. The Planets move in orbits about the Sun that are ellipses
2 . The planets move such that the line between the Sun and the Planet sweeps out the same area in the same area in the same time no matter where in the orbit.
3. The square of the period of the orbit of a planet is proportional to the mean distance from the Sun cubed
.
1571-1630Slide13
Tycho
Brahe
A Danish astronomer who made measurements of the planet and stars. His measurements were the most accurate that had yet been made.Tycho
proposed a system in which all of the planets except for Earth orbited about the Sun. He claimed that the Sun still orbited about the Earth, however.Slide14
Sir Isaac Newton
Newton derived the law of gravitation between two masses. Since the Sun was the most massive object in the planetary system, all of the planets would naturally be attracted to it and revolve around it, in the same manner as the Moon revolves around the Earth.
1642-1726Slide15
Galileo
Galilei
Galileo's observations strengthened his belief in Copernicus' theory that Earth and all other planets revolve around the Sun. Most people in Galileo's time believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the Sun and planets revolved around it. 1564-1642Slide16
Galileo
Galileo wrote about his observations and thus angered the Roman Catholic Church. The Church eventually placed him under house arrest. The Inquisition was the tribunal of the Roman Catholic Church at this time. The Inquisition made Galileo kneel before them and confess that the heliocentric theory was false.Slide17Slide18Slide19
Galileo was right all along
In 1992, the Roman Catholic Church finally repealed the ruling of the Inquisition against Galileo. The Church gave a pardon to Galileo and admitted that the heliocentric theory was correct. This pardon came 350 years after Galileo's death.Slide20
Geocentric
Key Ideas:
“Geo” = Earth“Centric” = Center“Earth-centered”Earth is the center of the
solar
system
Earth is stationary (not moving
)
and everything is moving around
us
In your notes, draw a picture
of
what the geocentric model looks like… Slide21
Geocentric models
Key Limitations:
Did not explain the apparent motions of some planets (for example, Mars)Did not explain all of Earth’s motions, including how a freely-swinging pendulum moves Slide22
Heliocentric
Key Ideas:
“Helio” = Sun“Centric” = Center
“Sun-centered”
The Sun is the center of the solar system
Earth rotates on its own axis AND revolves around the Sun
In your notes, draw a picture of what the heliocentric model looks like… Slide23
Heliocentric models
Key Limitations:
The early models used circular orbits did not explain the apparent motions of planets
(BUT
… once elliptical orbits and planets’
orbital
speeds were added to the model,
the
planets’ apparent motions could be
explained
and even predicted!)
