    Uploaded by

    Kyle
    The document summarizes key concepts from medieval and revolutionary periods in various scientific fields. During the medieval period, geocentric astronomy and Aristotelian physics dominated. Johannes Gutenberg's printing press increased access to information and fueled the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution transformed views of nature and society through experiments and observations that supported heliocentric models and laws of motion and gravity. Revolutionary figures like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Harvey, and Vesalius made discoveries that challenged prior theories and understanding of astronomy, physics, anatomy, and other fields.
