The shape of the modern world first became visible during ten years of upheaval in France between the years 1789 and 1799. Radical ideas about society and government were developed during the 18th century in response to the success of the scientific and intellectual revolutions of the preceding two centuries. Armed with new scientific knowledge of the physical universe as well as a new view of the human capacity to detect truth, social critics assailed the existing modes of thought governing political, social, religious and economic life.
Thus the modern world that came of age in the 18th century was characterized by rapid, revolutionary changes which paved the way for economic modernization and political centralization throughout Europe. The ideas and institutions created by the revolutionaries would be perpetuated and extended by Napoleon Bonaparte, who conquered and converted Europe.
The Scientific Revolution revolutionized human thinking about the physical universe and themselves by producing a body of independent, scientific knowledge based on new measuring devices and new methods of observation and interpretation. This knowledge suggested that humans would understand the operation of the physical world through use of their reason, aided by the modern scientific method of inquiry.
The scientific method involved identifying a problem or question, forming a hypothesis (unproven theory), making observations, conducting experiments, interpreting results with mathematics and drawing conclusions.
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 - 1543) rejected the geocentric (earth-centered) view of universe and suggested a heliocentric (sun-centered) view of the universe and thus began the tradition of modern scientific thinking.
Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) developed a powerful telescope and confirmed Copernicus theories.
Tycho Brahe (1546 - 1601) is considered the greatest astronomer of the late 16th century. Having built one of the earliest modern observatories, he kept meticulous celestial observations.
Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630) used Brahes observations to prove that a mathematical order existed in the planetary system; he proved mathematically that the planets revolve around the sun.
Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727) discovered the laws of motion, gravity and inertia. By building on earlier discoveries he developed a systematic interpretation of the operation of the universe (Newtonian View of the Universe), wherein natural scientific laws all worked together to provide a clear and comprehensive explanation of the physical universe. After Newton, the scientific method was not a matter of theory or observation, but both. Little wonder then that the poet Alexander Pope could write: Nature and natures laws lay hid in the night; God said, Let Newton be! and all was light.
